Wow, another cool knife, that thing has incredible character!

Thank you!

and a 77 barlow I had recovered.

Beautiful job and stag!

That Stag 77 is awesome! Would you mind sharing who did the recover?

Picked up this lightly used Ulster Barlow, most with this bolster stamp had synthetic covers so it was nice to find one with bone.

C.F. Wolfertz Barlow, I believe this one was probably made by Schrade.

Curious about the bolster on the Simmons, is that an aluminum bolster?

Well documented that I think these little Bokers are good traditional Barlows, and here is another I picked up off the bay. A 125 year anniversary, I picked it up to go along with the two 150 years I have (one green and one brown Curley Burch). Just like all the others I have, great F&F, super snappy even after 27 years. Bad news is that it didn’t come with the box, but for $36, come on!

Took this picture on a stump in my yard just so you all know that I do leave my deck from time to time.

Nice pick up.
There are great knives and super deals out there once you step away from the GECs.

Totally agree John.
Tonight I’m enjoying the company of my lovely wife beside a fire, some Jefferson’s Ocean, and of course my TEW Barlow.
