What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Fantastic Updates here, its all looking so good, using the wood that you sourced yourself Charlie must be a very satisfying thing, well done.
 
Looking over one of my Camillus daddy barlows, ol' No 9, I noticed that the sawcut delrin scales are a perfect match for my 15 TC barlow.

Sawcut delrin that tried to look like bone, gives way to sawcut bone that tries to look like delrin. I'm sorry, I just found humor in that ;).

I've been up since 3:30AM, this is going to be a long day.

Naw, see, the sawcut bone is not trying to look like....

Ah, never mind. ;)

I spy with my little eye:

Whether this is the previously posted brown evincing new translucence, or a third color, I'm pretty sure I want it.

More here.

All good knives are boiled until they are ready to look good!!:rolleyes:

And we are going to try Delrin blades next, also!!:eek:

Enough nonsense!!:cool:

I believe that is what antique Tan looks like before it is polished. Maybe!!
Guesswork aside, you are going to like my next post, in 5-10 minutes!!:D

I'd be all over it if I didn't grab one of the first ones.

I can't wait to actually see it, Duncan - it is indeed gratifying, after a bit of a wait!!
