[waynorth]

Wasn't that called Rust Red?

I think you are right!! Thanks!!

 

[waynorth]

A couple with wood handles; Walnut that my Dad left me, and Macassar Ebony!

Yes; a 2009 Forum knife!!

Charlie look again. Is it really a Forum knife.

 

[waynorth]

Charlie look again.

What makes you think it is not??
BFC is for BladeForums.Com (a variation of BF)!! I remember it very well!!!
Ah!!! One blade is deleted, or some ex-Queen crook is re-using the Bolster mark!!
I remember well also, that I suggested two full length blades back then!!

So is it a real BF knife? Without the proper blades and even proper tang stamps. I think not.
I would lean to a build out with parts on hand. Or could be a crook.
I will reach out to the guy I bought it from to try to get info.
One way or the other it's a real nice Barlow.

Sure!! "Hefty" Stag on it!!
I guess it is technically NOT a real BF knife after all, just a reasonable facsimile thereof, made with parts!!!! Please excuse me!!

 

[waynorth]

Real Parts Knife!! Ha Ha!! If I was buying it, I would have glanced harder I hope!!

That walnut looks beautiful, and what a great way to remember your dad!

Mark side
Pile side
I really like both sides, but if I had to pick…I’d go with the mark side.
