Orphaned old Barlow; not carried for a long time!! Sad, but beautiful!!
Ink with pattern number!! Factory edge?? Never used/carried???

 

[Rich S]

Give that orphan barlow a bit of cleaning and a forever home (in your pocket or with others of its kind).

BBB - Battle-scarred But Beautiful!!

It looks a little rough, but the blades 'snap' and it still cuts.

Gorgeous. Michael May makes beautiful knives. What kind of burl is that?

Thank you very much, it's cherry wood.

Nice Dan! That stag looks great. Is the one on the lower left plum wood or olive? It’s got great looking color and grain.
