What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

I really hope I can score one of those sheepsfoot soon. It's by far my favorite.

I hear you, g. But if my memory hasn't completely failed, I think I remember something about jigged bone sheepfoot Barlows, maybe around February? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I was fondling this one today. Still pristine. Haven't been able to bring myself to use or carry it.



These Anniversary knives are stunning. Wouldn't it be great if there were a wider release of red marrow bone and rosewood on an upcoming TC Barlow?!!!
 
I have a red soup bone waiting at home but I won't be there until Friday and looking at all of these pictures of them is torturous! I think it's a bit ironic that back in the day, these were the dirt cheap beater knives, but now they are the highly sought after collector pieces. I also wasn't sure how much I liked soup bone, but I have to admit, I think I love it. This is my first TC Barlow and I can't wait for a nice CF & CE session!

Post more pictures please!

My mailman delivered this yesterday at my work place. I was so busy I didn't even open the package, then forgot to take it home! DUH!
So I was sure to rip that envelope open first thing this morning.
Charlie!!! These are beautiful!!! The Red is outstanding!!! Congratulations!!!:thumbup:
Sorry for the bad pics, fluorescent lighting is definitely not the best.
 
Has anyone got a pic of their newly aquired TC Barlow 2nd Anniversary Rosewood Barlow with a spear point blade? I scored one but it will be 10-14 days before I see it......I didn't see one
in your picture Charlie....you got one on the way? That rosewood sheepsfoot is just awesome looking.
 
I really need to step my game up and get in somehow on these rare ones. I'm competing against a lot of you sure hard collectors so it should be interesting! Some of your collections are amazing.
 
Mo' better photos:

Today's Anniversary knives are my favorite so far. (It seems like I say that every time a new one is shown in this thread.) Can't wait to see your photos, Primble.

Thank you Dr. Scott - my mail girl dropped off some TC soup, just before lunch time. Mmmm Mmmm good - I say! :eek::eek::eek::thumbup::thumbup::D

Be back later. ;)
 
Great pictures everyone---darn mailman was here and gone---no soup today.

Fridays are always good days for soup:thumbup:
 
Yeah - those TCs are really awesome looking. I love the deep, rich red color of the bone.

Is there any change to get 'em with 2 blades? (Clip & Pen)
 
Got a little something in the mail today, too...
