Here is my levitating ancient. This knife is definitely in the top ten of my collection. Charlie, waynorth waynorth , this Barlow might have the best walk and talk of any of my knives. Is that common to this run or did I just happen to get an exceptional one? I also believe these have some of prettiest dye color and nicest Sawcuts. ( Sorry that I polished the bolsters Charlie. My OCD made me do it. )

mine too!... my ancient's walk and talk is amazingly smooth, easy, and very satisfying. I don't collect GEC's or carbon blades, but this one is a treasure and handled everyday. I feel lucky to have it.

It's funny, I don't like a Spey secondary blade, but I really like a Spey main blade... I guess I'm weird. 🙃

John, you're just weird in a good way ;) 😁
