Made from a gunstock blank, from my Dad's estate, the fairly straight-grained Walnut, reminds me of him!! The knife is 10 years old now; a fitting anniversary carry for the week!!View attachment 2125582View attachment 2125583

Still have mine from that run as well, Charlie. And it's still one of my all-time faves.

I got a new stockman this week & it knocked me off the Barlow carrying binge that I was on. We're back on track now.

Thanks Charlie. The bone seems quite similar to the Drake Well era Queen barlows.

FINALLY!!! What a great hobby/passion knives are. The "chase/hunt" is almost as fun as finally acquiring what you've been after. Sometimes there's that let down afterwards, like "what now"? I waffled at first when this presented itself and I thought it would just live it's life out tucked nicely into a knife roll. I'm trying to get away from that and carry that long sought after knife.

I worked a trade with a terrific member here and and finally here's a TC I thought would be unobtainable, 2012 Spear in Copperhead bone. It came Saturday and I couldn't be any happier Thanks balor85 Nate!!!
