What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Jack Black]

Does anyone know the traditional folk/country song Shady Grove (I don't think it's been mentioned here before), covered by various artists? Full lyrics are here:http://lyricstranslate.com/en/traditional-folk-song-shady-grove-lyrics.html

When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

There's a couple of renditions of the song on YouTube for those interested.

A true beauty Gary, one I have sought after for sometime now to no avail:thumbup:

Not sure it would help but I guess I could add it to my sig line

 

[ThievesLikeUs]

Gary, that is a beauty!

Luck walks side by side with the man who owns one of those

Just got this off the 'bay, my first Queen.

And its a beauty. Do you know what year it would be ??

 

[black mamba]

Tang stamp suggests mid '50s.

 

[JSCHENK]

my anniversay knife has a brazillian feel to it, brazillian rosewood in pocket!
1 of 11 very happy with this one!

 

[ThievesLikeUs]

That is beautiful!!!

Congrats!

 

[Parke1]

Holy cow, that rosewood is stunning! I'm so excited for this run to start hitting mailboxes!

 

[JSCHENK]

I count 24 pairs
my guess is that my 1 of 11 anniversary knife came from the front row, so my guess we'll see 13 more brazillian rosewoods in the future, but that is just a guess

 

[1500international]

Thanks black mamba.

That Brazilian rosewood is gorgeous.

 

[paulhilborn]

JSCHENK, That is BEAUTIFUL!!! Congrats on an heirloom:thumbup:

Chris did a nice touch - writing the label in RED!

There were 11 done in Clip, 6 in Spear, 7 in Sheepfoot. Total 24 Brazilians. Bill used up some blades from previous runs to make these for me.

Before you email me (groan), with my apologies, they are all spoken for!!

But there is a GA coming up!!!:thumbup:

 

[KBA]

That Brazillian Rosewood is incredible! :thumbup:
I thought the etch looked different. I couldn't tell if it was brown or a rust color. Congrats to all the lucky ones who have these coming.

 

[ThievesLikeUs]

A sheepsfoot with rosewood?!?!?!

7 VERY lucky folks out there

 

[Tenacious D]

7 in Sheepfoot.

Charlie, please post the names of the 7 individuals who will be receiving these, so that I can track them down, murder them, and make this knife my own. Thank you. (That was a joke... kinda)
