What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[esnyx]

Don't wanna waste a double post, so here is some barlow content:

 

[Primble]

Thank you for the comments on my storage box everyone!! :thumbup:

Evan - thank you for making my little Charlow box long forgotten.

I have other Charlows which I also like a LOT Evan.

I would say yes - Barlow content for sure!! You have some real beauties there. :thumbup::thumbup:

I need that soup bone sheep foot friend - I think it would look much nicer with some of my Barlows.

Mr. Primble, what an awesome assortment of barlows, and a beautiful shadowbox to have them displayed in.
All you folks posting these single blade sheepsfoot barlows gives me hope that I may find one eventually.

Great stuff everyone!

 

[bleh]

ugh... this thread is killing me . Anybody want to sell me a Spear point long pull or a lambsfoot long pull TC Barlow? I'm dying for a Barlow!

Nice shadow box, Rob!!:thumbup:
I like your choices, but you have to get a Stew's blade in there!!
Are the knives held in place, or is it for horizontal display?

Willydigger sent me this nice bead!
Thanks Fred!!
It is, of course, a pen-behind-the-main (as many gods have intended Barlows should be)!

I added the mammoth beads, which I found at the Oregon Knife show a few years back!!

Very nice Charlie! Ebony and Ivory!

Great carving Willydigger!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Great stuff Fred! Nice to see Charlie have one of them - extremely fitting!

Thank you Charlie - it is a horizontal display - the knives are just laying there - where I can just open the lid and grab one or more of them out.

The beads and carved TC bead are wonderful - you personalized it nicely. :thumbup:

I smiled when I read about the Stew's blade, since I knew I was getting ready to post this.

Autumn leaves are falling here already.

A Charlow Autumn:

Thanks for the acorn idea Gevo.

You have a TREE that grows CHARLOWS?!? Holy smokes! [runs off to Kentucky]

 

[Humppa]

Andi- how you my friend.
Mate you got the nail on the head with the term Worry Stone - that's something I do with the knife is thumb seaway at the scales.

Dan - your collection is very very nice - and in one year too!!

Andi - that long pull clip Charlow is a sweet knife.

Thanks for the kind replies, fellows
Much appreciated!

Thank you guys - So far my tree only yields the autumn colors - still working on my hybrid soup bone tree.

 

[Gevonovich]

Charlie
Fantastic set up there!! Just a beautiful bead. Fred!!

Primble

The Autumnal Harvest....I think I need to head out to the forest and see if I can find one of the mythical Soup Bone Charlow trees!! Fantastic pics, Sir

CharlOw.

Barlow lovers - just try to explain how one could walk past a knife like this......



A shot ^^^^ before my beautiful Red Boned Clip Point was damaged and it became the Flat Belly, still love it to bits....

 

[Campbellclanman]

I apologise folks, .... I seem to be putting up older shots, and I still to this day cannot stop thinking about my lovely Ebony that I lost, I took this knife with me when I met Jack in the UK, it went around Scotland, It wasnt with me the day we spent an incredible hour and a half with Stan Shaw - but Stan held this very same Red Bone Clip of Charlies...and we have a photo of him doing so -just great - so this photo means a lot to me....

 

[Campbellclanman]

.................. and here is the knife that Paul actually dug in a gave to me on the news that the single blade was gone for good - THIS is what makes Traditional folk here probably some of the more important that I hold close to me......
