Mighty fine gifts! Do you need another son? I may or may not be older than you, but I’ll play my part if you play yours....dad.

I just received the Barlow TC Sepia Saw Cut Bone knife, all due to the goodwill of Charlie and Jean-Marc (@ Âchillepattada).
Thank you so much for everything.

Glitter gold with accurate colors achieved using Color Checker across the top. I like flashy stuff and even though they feel plasticy, love these covers. Not exactly chatoyance, but they sparkle a lot when moved. If / when I get a rose will post them side by side with accurate colors. Natural light, too lazy to use a lightbox.

Are they cutting that long pull into the tang again on the Osage, GG/RG?

I believe this is all of the 2021 T/C Barlows... Thanks to everyone who has their DNA in this series.... (hint; Charlie)......
Quality in my opinion is superb.... I know Bill doesn't read BF, but if some of the folks at GEC do, thanks to all for a job well done...

I actually like the looks of the rose gold and I'm not really a glitter gold fan.

Amazing catch, HEMI 49 ! First I've seen of the Smooth Autumn Gold...the only one I've been able to reserve. Can't wait.

The new Barlows have got me wanting to play with my old Barlows.

Thank you very much!.... I like the 2 sawcut knives..... To me they embody the simple nature of a Barlow knife.... One of my favorite hammers has the handle grip wrapped in friction tape.... Same principle; simple functionality = elegance in use...

Got this drake well today. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the handles, but they look better in person. After a flush it has a nice snappy action. I think it'll make a good user.

I don’t know how you did it, but well done!

So what’s up with Gunstock Jack’s continuing to raise the price every time he has new TC’s? $259 this round. Is he still saving us from the flippers?
