LOL! It's all good Dave!! :thumbup: No worries at all :D:D Just gives me an opportunity to give Lloyd a hard time :D:D:cool:

All in good fun Lloyd! You gotta admit, those white knuckle photos from OKCA are just classic :thumbup::D
 
Nice photo Primble! That would be a great background to take with the fish Barlow that Mark made.

Thanks Al !!

I need my fish Barlow !! :D

The Antique Ivory Bone (Ambassadeur for TC Barlows is my new handle - thanks for my new title Charlie ! :eek::D:D:D):

Very nice photos of your fishing reel, tackle and TC favorite things, Rob! :thumbup: My grandfather taught me how to fish and it always reminds me of him when I go.
 
I'm still breaking in my newest sheepfoot.

Although obviously a little longer and larger than the 15, the Northfield Barlow actually "feels" thinner than the TC. I was surprised to discover that the 77 Barlow and the TC Barlow are the same thickness. The 77 just feels thinner because the edges have been sanded down so smooth.
 
Great video, and a great idea to post it here! Even if you've seen it before, it is worth watching again, especially for those if us who live too far away for a tour. [emoji106]
 
I just watched all three of them again, with an 81 stockman and a 15 Barlow close by to coon-finger and chicken-eye as the video rolled! Cool!!

I watched them earlier too, but I'd never seen them before. Very cool and I definitely learned a lot. I also gained some appreciation for the craftsmen and women who build these knives. They make the operations look so easy but you just know there's a lot of skill and finesse involved. You can also see the dedication they all have.
 
Ahh, my favorite of the latest TC offerings, Bob! Can't go wrong with all that happy jigging!:thumbup:
It's quite the eye opener to watch these videos again! Man, I gotta get me a knife Stiddy! I could do so many easy knife fixes at home, in the garage, simply by having a good solid surface to hammer against, for angles especially.
