Robeson finished the humble Barlow just right, to provide a nice easy carry!! Nice example, Gus!!

This is some beautiful work by Todd Davidson, for me I wonder if the bolsters are just a tiny bit too long?

I think the blade is too short.

Ha great observation! I think you are right and so makes it seem the bolster is long. Good eye!

A fantastic knife by Davidson and personally I like the bolster length and overall symmetry of that barlow. Beautiful bone jigging too.

It's slightly longer than the Golden Barlow Mean, but still a wonderful looking knife.
