Two fairly recent acquisitions: a Kutmaster and a Robeson 512224 Daddy Barlow Mastercraft demonstrator. The front bolster is cut away to show the bronze insert.

Not sure if the Robeson scales are plastic or really dark bone. Looks and feels like bone to me and I have seen others similarly dark.

The Robeson is definitely bone. You can see pith were it meets the bolster.
Nice knives. I have the exact same Kutmaster barlow in poorer condition than yours. Still a cool knife. 😎
 
Fantastic Barlows Charlie :cool: :) :thumbsup:

Here are the old Sheffield Barlows you generously gifted me, together with another fine Ancient ;) :) :thumbsup:

I remember that I sent those (relics) because you rarely found any old Sheffield Barlows . . . .near Sheffield!! Thanks for showing them off (again)!! Always nice to see them home again!! ;)
