>That is a great comparison, displaying the GEC "Mag Covers" Jon! Good illustration of the differences!

>That Kutmaster reminds me of an old '52 Willys I used to have, Bob. Barebones, but useful and reliable!

>Look what followed me home today. I'm guessing this was more like an Impala in its day!!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Jon!

AMAZING CHARLIE. Charlie tell me... How rare a bird is this barlow? edit - And how many others like this have you ever seen?

Whether or not these barlows demonstrate what makes a good traditional barlow or not, I'll leave for you to decide. I'm just happy to have these in hand and in pocket.

I for one do NOT feel these are "good traditional barlows"

They're GREAT traditional barlows! That appaloosa is really nice

This is my favorite slip joint in the house - J Lloyd Barlow in Mammoth, with exquisitely sharp A2 blade.
