What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

So what's the deal? Can we order now? I thought I had to hold off my order until 8/1, but I see that some of these blades are already moving.

Officially orders begin at midnight! You better get your order in, Paul.
I lost count of the email requests!!
The other "usual" dealers should have theirs by the weekend also!

I just couldn't wait until midnight! I was stacked up with emails - but I have you on my priority list because of your enquiry, so you will get what you want, don't worry.
Email me when you like!
A dealer came to the Rendevous, and took a small order with him, so those may be the ones you see out there already, or of course, the ones people bought at the Rendevous!

There was a most fortuitous coincidence in West Yorkshire this week, when, on the very same day, both ScruffUK and I received a gifted Charlow! Thom received his from Duane, and I from Charlie. We got the boys together today for a photo opportunity, but as it has been raining all afternoon, we had to stay in the pub! :thumbup:

Some mighty fine portraits!
 
Some mighty fine knives Charlie.

I must commend you for the time and fine work you have invested into restoring this great pattern.

Jack and I are both proud to have these in our collection thanks to our forums fine fellows :thumbup:

Hey folks. Let's keep discussions on ordering, order status, inventory and the like to PMs or email please. This forum is to discuss the knives not the ordering process.
 
Hey Charlie, it would have been great to have you along on my trip to Sheffield’s Kelham Island Industrial Museum yesterday. I took well over 100 pics and I’ll be posting a thread when I’ve the time to upload some of them. Had my Charlow with me, (which was very much admired by all and sundry), and thought you might like to see it there, in and around Kelham Island. It’s very dimly lit in most of the museum, so sorry for the poor quality of the pics.

Charlow on a billet of forged Sheffield steel.



Charlow knocking on Stan Shaw's workshop door (he's away on holiday this week)!



Charlow on one of the twin Lister engines I used to work on when I first left school.

Excellent Jack! - good to see them Barlows getting out world-wide!
Great photos of interest there my friend
 
I have just placed my order for my first barlow (hopefully barlows). This thread does not make the waiting any easier. The 15 frame is a favorite of mine and I love the simple elegance of these barlow versions. There is just something about them. Can't wait to finally see them in person.
 
Great photos Jack!! :thumbup:

My current Charlows (until I get my Walnut Sheepsfoot in the mail :D ).
