Congratulations Jon!!!! What a phenomenal gift:thumbup:

Charlie, you sir are "a man among men" and that sir is a compliment, unlike when Melony Griffin first told that to Paul Newman in "Nobody's Fool"

Wow, indeed! Super nice knife Jon. I'm extremely envious, but fortunately my envy is tempered due to receipt tonite of this fine beauty:





Alas, my ownership is merely temporary. :concern:

Thank You Charlie!

This one came in the mail today. Thanks for digging this one up for me Charlie!!

You are welcome, Jake. I am amazed that I found one, misplaced with some other knives.
Doesn't say much for my filing system.

You are also welcome, Jon! I consider it recognition of the efforts you have put into Barlow studies!

Beautiful Sheepfoot Barlow in walnut!

Oh so jealous! I asked Charlie a while ago and he hadn't any left

Can't fault you though Charlie, a more deserving barlowologist couldn't be found.

Oh great now look what I started! But honestly I think it's only cause he didn't like seeing a grown man cry when he didn't have one with him to sell at the Oregon Knife Show earlier this month. It was his way of shutting me up lol.

If I ever decide to part with this one, not likely but anything is possible right, you will be the first person I contact Paul!

Charlie's on a roll! ... but, then, when is he not?! Congratulations to Jon and Jake! Jon, I know you will treasure that one! Wow!

 

[philllll]

Looks like Barry has a couple more of the latest walnut spears available

Lol! Don't worry about it, Charlie sold me a beautiful antique yellow sawcut sheepsfoot instead, and a lovely piece it is too!

I almost had to whack a few people with a stick but the stars aligned for me and i was able to secure a third cut stag charlow. Not only did I score one, I was able to get the exact knife I initially fell in love with when photos first surfaced of the first 6 or so completed.

Very happy day indeed. Now if I could only find a spear in front charlow with sawcut red bone.

I told my wife I should buy a lotto ticket tonight as i am normally a day late and a dollar short when it comes to luck.

WOW very nice Justin---I'm sharing the same good fortune as you, this one just showed up in the mail today. What a great feeling to work all day, come home and find a great Barlow in the mail:thumbup:

Actually Charlie sent me an email and stated that a few emails had gone rogue---but that great memory of his came to the rescue. He emailed telling me of the missing emails but he had remembered that I mentioned that if possible I'd like one---STEEL TRAP Charlie

So, thank you very much Charlie for remembering me, very much appreciated:thumbup:

So....What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow??? When you work all day and come home to this beauty in the mail

FIRST EVER SINGLE BLADE BARLOW!!! Lovin it...

always enjoy the tubes...

and of course the gorgeous covers:thumbup:

Have a great weekend everyone:thumbup:
