Well after reading your post I couldn't help but keep an eye out for a sheepfoot Barlow for you

. A fine gesture my friend, you will be rewarded down the track when the " Good " Karma bus makes it's return run..

 

[cudgee]

Definitely has become one of my favorite blade shapes next to another CC SFO - the Lambfoot.
Need another Barlow with this blade

I'm hearing ya brother.. Know exactly where you are coming from.

 

[cudgee]

Another style , but I like it too

Â

And i can see why. That is Slick, good one.

Well, I was introduced to a new Knifemaker!! He's Younger than my two older kids, but he went to the same school that they did!! His parents still live 5 blocks from me, but I have never met them!!
He's good at knifemaking!! Look at this!!
The handles are legally harvested Sperm Whale Tooth!!
The walk and talk are crisp and smooth! I love this knife!!

That is indeed a fine Barlow. I like finely done spears too.

Good to see you mate, was worried had not seen you around for a while, then realized you have a new avatar.

I really like that one Charlie, looks like real nice work and the scrimshaw is very well done, a great unique Barlow.

Darn...Charlie- thats quite a piece of Work!
Talented Young Man for sure!!, I love the original Font of the era used on the Scrimshaw- and the Sperm Whale and Squid are awesome!
I really like that Knife as the others do! I like the way he has rounded off the end of the Swage work too on the Spine- not just abruptly and Sharp - but with a tidy wee curve. What's the walk and talk like on this one Charlie?

Hello Charlie,

I don't know if it's paradise or hell to live so close to such a good knife maker

Thanks, mate. I’ve been going through a rough patch but feeling somewhat better. New chemo drug. I still have a few months left and plan to celebrate my 78th soon. Been enjoying the porch talk and trying to curb my knife buying. Ha! Talk with Bloke ( Spyderco forum) pretty regularly. Glad you all are coming into spring.
