What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Rich S]

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

But BB application page doesnt work :-(

Sunday morn - now it's working.

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!

Hmm someone applied just 3 minutes after your post. It doesn't work if you have a VPN on I don't think.

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

The Official Lanyard Thread

I re-did the lanyard to feature a diamond knot. Got a nice custom sheath from Mountaineer Leather and figured it’s time to make the lanyard look nicer.

Interesting Lanyard thread, Dawg!!
I'd love to see one with "Traditional" knives, though!!

Ha! Opportunities abound. Go for it.

Or... if you wish, go traditional leather here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/show-your-leather-lanyards.1329715/

By the way, I've had great success searching through Google search and enter bladeforums.com followed by the search term (s).

Maybe it's time to awaken Rip Van Lanyard.

Gary W. Graley perhaps? I know he makes some neat ones

Found the beads! (knew I had them around here somewhere)
Paracord and plastic, but I think it looks right with the acrylic covers.

Oh good, you won't lose it if the lights go out.

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!!

Looks good. I ordered some new paracord for my Barglow #25. None of the ones I had felt quite right.
