Wow! And a fantastic pic too

Thank you Jack. Cool old knife. Creamy color hafts and I love the bolster.

Gorgeous Harvey. Is that an Amherst Cutlery?

Thank you Dwight, It is.

As with all his knives, Willem made you a fine Barlow, Dwight, with his cool, highly useful blade.

OMG… those are so awesome… beautiful trio.

I didn’t know who Esnyx got his inspiration from to do these stepped bolsters for JBF Champlin but now I have a good idea.

Holy cow Mr P!!!!!! To die for. I have never seen a keen cutter like that one with the stepped bolsters. Gawwwwwwww!!!!!

My oh my oh my! Incredible john.

Thank you Dwight - maybe I got someone other than myself stirred up !
That old half dollar pictured with your fancy K'roo Barlow stirred me up a little more - it makes mine look all wore out.

Wow Jack! Very unusual ... I can't make out the tang.

Thank you Dwight, more than one Sheffield firm made that pattern, but mine is by G. Batty & Co. Sorry for the slow reply my friend

Thank you Jack. Cool old knife. Creamy color hafts and I love the bolster.

Thanks Harvey

Got my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket today Have a great Sunday Barlow fans

This one just moved in this week. The pull needs some work though - it is sooooo tight for a little blade with a 1/2 stop. A bit dangerous, truth be told. Nice looking little guy though. AND - YUP - the bolsters are an uppy and a downy.

I'm sure some of the 'Old Hands' here remember Earl Here he is in Tadcaster, the home of Sam Smith's Brewery, next to the River Wharfe ( 5K Qs had requested I get a pic with his favourite Sam Smith's beer)
