Hey Charlie. Here’s the mark side. It’s beautiful to me. But I’m an equal opportunity knife liker. I like them all. Comparing to Italian actresses this one would be my Claudia Cardinale. Nice jigging…

A K’roo, 3.75 inches, flat ground clip of RWL 34 and kudu bone dyed brown. I like kudu bone. These took the dye a bit differently which I like and find interesting.

Bob Cargill Cripple Creek curved barlow in Mother Of Pearl, really hard to capture the fire in the pearl.

This barlow

In your second, pic, it looks a lot thinner than I expected.

Even my blue bone one is very thin in the best ways possible. Disappears in the pocket but fits well in hand.

One of my bigger complaints of modern manufacturers is thick liners and thick covers. They got it just right on the gateway barlows!

Steel liners and bolsters,
Awesome bolster work,
Jigged bone.
Hard to beat a Barlow!
