Speaking of help. I promise this is a crazy coincidence. I just got home and this was sitting in the mailbox. A rogue gift sent to me from SteveC . Thank you very much Steve. Feeling extremely blessed at the moment.

Western 822 barlow recovered in a beautiful jigged bone.

There’s not a lot of information that I’ve been able to find. The tang stamp is marked “Brantford Cutlery Co. USA, and was supposedly produced in the 1930s. Haven’t seen many examples.

I gave my colleage one of those brown micarta copper bolster Boker barlows for his birthday. He was overjoyed!

I had a funny feeling I should bring it to the office that day. I had sharpened it and buffed out some scratches the days before and just had a feeling. Turned out to be his birthday.

Such a great feeling making someone happy like that!
