Really nice stamps (bolster and blade).

For some reason that reminded me of this.

Are these “traditional Barlows”?

To be safe, here are some that are a little less “out there.”

Awesome! I loved how the sawcut varied on these. From really dark to somewhat light, but all nice and deep with the cuts.

So glad it made it to you Charlie! I still remember the first time I saw a TC barlow, on this subforum, and knew I was hooked then. I've enjoyed so much of your knowledge and so many of your barlows, that when I started the club I thought it only made sense to make you the first honorary member!

Hopefully the next one strikes your fancy Jack!

If anyone is interested in the Barlow Bearcat Club, you can learn more here. It's been a lot of fun so far!

Lanyard as promised!! I scored some mammoth beads at a long ago Oregon Knife Club Show, and used a few here to reflect the three grooves in the Bolster!!!
The ring was made by mrknife !! I love that ring, Jack!!

 

[waynorth]

Is there a Lanyard thread??? I couldn't find one, but I like the idea!!

That looks great! Several members have put beads on theirs, but I especially like how you matched to the three thread lines on the bolster. And that ring by Jack is always cool to see

Thanks for checking, Jack!! I agree - Spark needs to improve the search function!!!
