Hey, nice find Phil! :thumbup:

I think that was one I was gawking at as well Phil, there was a two blade at the same time I was trying to resist buying.

Beautiful Russell Phil:thumbup:

Very nice Phil - looks to have had nice careful use- what are your plans- leave alone and use? Spend some time with a tooth brush and Mineral Oil?
My apologies as I am trying to see the photo properly - but on my phone the scales look to be wood? If so a good polish with bees wax will bring them up beautifully.

Good stuff!

I just picked up this great old Russell barlow.

Very nice find Phil. I like the wood handles and the blade looks nice and full. :thumbup:

Well that would be the one Evan:thumbup: Nice knowing that both ended up with good homes

Thanks Paul!

I can't wait to see them together! Phil or I will post pics of them next time he comes over.

 

[philllll]

Thanks for the nice comments all. This is a great little solid knife. Just a couple hairs shorter than a TC. I don't plan to do much to it, some oil maybe. There's no rust on it that I can see.

More soup:

the pile side has a slightly more vibrant red color:

Another nice Russell from my friend Evan. :thumbup:

A full resolution copy 3724x2492 pixels (slightly cropped) of my soup bone picture - for anyone that likes to make wallpapers:

Just copy or save into a photo editor and resize as you wish. Looking at the soup bone at full rez looks pretty neat.

 

[Dr. Scott]

Beautiful knife photographed against the perfect background to show off the red bone! Now, how about a shot alongside your gorgeous single spey blade yellow bone?

 

[jkulysses]

Thank you Scott and I'll see what I can do about your request tomorrow. The rain is supposed to hold off again tomorrow luckily. I think it would look good next to my 3rd cut as well. I try out a few different combos & post them all up.
