What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Markesharp]

I can hear the rumbling of some new horsies headed for me stables!!!

The old waitin' for the new:


. . . . and my wallet gettin' emptied!

Primble as a friend I can help you out with your wallet crisis :barf: Those dirty old knives you have will look good in my collection! A simple PM will solve your problems.

I snagged one single blade razor in African blackwood as soon as I got up this morning. Now I'm hunting for one in rust red!! This is fun!

Triple Crowns headin' towards Kaintuck!!!

Primble - your cartoons are killing me this morning.

And me!!

That is my grail knife. I'm looking for someone to remove the pen blade on my #15 and add a cap lifter. Would be much easier if someone decided to do a production run of them. Hint, hint.

I meant to post the Back Label for Tom's Choice II sooner, but here it is:

I used to write these "rants" as I call them, at the last minute, because an incipient deadline frees my persistent writer's block. But since Sarah (Pertinux) has helped me with some editing, I no longer fear Foot-in-Mouth disease as much, so GEC is no longer sticking them on on the way to the post office!!
Thanks Sarah!!:thumbup:

^^^^After reading that I'm glad now I took the chance on owning one of these, I love the historical connections.....how many previous "runs" has there been for the T/C's? Thanks.

Thank You, I have been narrowing down to my favorite GEC patterns over the last month or so and I think I'm going to enjoy carrying this one....I can see the light now brothers and sisters!

Saddle brown on the saw-cut and it is color accurate, if you have a calibrated monitor. The rust red would be quite a bit more red, IMO.

Oh ok. My monitor probably is a bit off but I can see that it is saddle brown now.

I enjoy reading these labels, the stories, and the tube illustrations, etc. almost as much as the knives. I actually store all the tubes together, in a safer place than I do the knives. :thumbup:

Thanks, Phillll!
Check it out, Akula, and all who would like to know.
Jon who created the thread, wandered off on new adventures, I believe.
Maybe someone who likes statistics can continue on??

Just bought 2 TC Barlows in walnut. Stoked! I had to buy two just so I can give one to a friend.

 

[waynorth]

A great reason, Dave!!
Does your friend wear Red Keds??
