What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

It's dyed box elder burl. It's not something I custom ordered, it's one of Todd Davison's that he posts in the custom knife makers exchange. I looked at it incenssantly for a day and a half until I couldn't take it any longer! I'm shocked no one got it before me. They usually sell very fast. It'll be my first Davison but from everything I've read, I'm getting absolute quality. Is it Friday yet?!!!!
 
I'm glad you bought that Davidson as you saved me a bunch of money. You have no idea how close I was to pulling the trigger on that one. Now I am very envious.

Primble, I was out shooting today also but using a shotgun for Trap. When I got home this was waiting for me, a 1972 Queen 50 year anniversary Barlow, really has beautiful bone and the shape of the bolster is different.

Thats interesting and very appropriate The Drake Well is only 3 miles South of Titusville, lots of local history in that Barlow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_Well
The Drake Well is a 69.5-foot -deep (21.2 m) oil well in Cherrytree Township, Venango County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The well is the centerpiece of the Drake Well Museum located 3 miles (5 km) south of Titusville.

Drilled by Edwin Drake in 1859, along the banks of Oil Creek, it is the first commercial oil well in the United States.

Thanks Ishrub, I had looked that up and also found it interesting. I wonder why Queen put it on their 50th Anniversary knife, maybe to show their ties to the area? The tang stamp and bolster stamp are dated 1922-1972.
