Thanks, it’s been a staple in my pocket since I got it. It’s not too deep, just a nice big flake off of a sizable boulder that my wife and I encountered on our hike.

Love the curved barlows Bob Cargill made, would love to see GEC make ones like this.

I would love to see Bill do a Lamb Barlow on the 15 or 77 frame

they essentially have the frame with the 39 set...

they essentially have the frame with the 39 set...

IMHO : For me the 39 frame is too short and has very little curve to it . My Bunny Knife has never been carried or used . Looks good in the drawer though .

just found one someone did a delete on! should be interesting to see in hand. i fell pretty hard for the 39 and see it as a cousin to the 15 essentially. Amen, they fit with the other forum knives tube wise

Got to agree with you Harry, I like the 39 but they needed to put more curve in the frame.

Had my Charlow’s out this morning with my coffee.

I think what WOULD make a great Barlow is that #14 but on the #77 pattern, the exact knife, TC bolster, all steel, cocobolo with chamfered edges and squared butt…
