A better time to shoot a better pic. The best I can muster, and it is wooden wednesday

It’s also a fine barlow.

I would have gotten here sooner, but I was busy applying a bandaid to my thumb!! Rhidian sure knows how to sharpen a Knife!! And Scrimshaw for that matter, let alone he may contend for Tony Bose's crown some day!! a great Knifemaker, and no insult to the Old Dog R.I.P!!

Very nice picture of IMHO the very nicest Taylors Eye Witness barlow that I have ever seen my friend . I always wanted one in Ironwood or Amboyna but I settled for Ox Horn and also Ramshorn . How long have you had yours ??? Thanks for showing it .

That is so cool, Charlie. "For Waynorth Cutlery" just such a unique, personal piece. That scrimshaw work is fantastic. I hope you enjoy that one for a good long time!
