I really like the German made Boker barlows especially the ones with carbon blades
Those Bokers sure are nice looking barlows, just wish they'd drop the shield and do a bolster stamp instead. It looked good on the old ones.;) But if they must use a shield I think it'd look cool lower on the covers to match the radius of the handle.:thumbsup:
 
Random selection from my archives!
Two sheepfoot Barlows; Walnut from 2013. and Jigged Bone, 2015.
Then an Ancient from 2015 with utility-grade ebony handles!
Last 2-blade from 2015 and a first-run from 2012, both with Macassar Ebony handles!!T Willy 1.jpg T Willy 2.jpg T Willy 3.jpg
