Beautiful work Evan! Lloyd

 

[Ryouchijtx]

Wow Evan that is some fantastic work right there, was the etch custom made for the knife itself?

+1 and looks like Charlie had a good time ! :thumbup::thumbup:

Like the blades Fred !

Primble's Crayola box :

What a wonderful box of sawcut crayola colours~ All those spears must write very well

I'm slowly expanding my box of colours as well. Never thought I would end up with 4 TC's .
P~ got the better of me in shenanigans and surprised me in a trade of ours with this amazing TC 2 blade in Charlie's father's gunstock walnut. What a beauty! The handwritten letter was the icing on the cake, not many people write physically to each other anymore. Thank you kindly~

Great Work Evan, that just looks fantastic, and Primble my friend - thats a pretty darned nice case you have there Sir! Wow!!!

 

[waynorth]

That Rosewood and the stepped Bolsters just send that knife into orbit!!
Very cool, Evan!!

A quick scan of the past 24 hours of this thread compels me to comment on all the good, traditional barlows showing up! :thumbup::thumbup:

This makes a good one I'd say.

Lemmy, that TC is sure aging gracefully!!

Two gifts from a local friend, and two from Rendezvous time!

Charlie, what a fabulous foursome you rendezvoused with! :thumbup::thumbup:

Cool cavalcade of clip blades, Fred!

Holy smokes, Evan, what a knife!! I don't know the official term for that "split-level" bolster, but it and the blade etch are superb!!

Congrats on the surprise TC, Tim!! Those are a couple of splendid Barlows! Kudos to Sarah for her generosity, penwomanship, and shenaniganosity.

Blonde, Brunette, and Redhead

That's a tremendous trio of Barlows, Rachel! :thumbup:

"A New Day" etch Spey Blade with long pull single blade:
#154115 Amber Soup bone 1 of 5 pcs.

Pam with the help of Charlie and Primble picked this TC out for me at the Rendezvous. The 3 of them were
up to some Shenanigans which led to the tube being signed by Charlie. Thank you Charlie and Rob We really
enjoyed sharing your company as well as your knives for 2 1/2 days. I actually did not see it until later
that night when we got back to the room! I also posted this TC in the History thread, hope it was alright.

Actually - it was the Ebony Ancient that found pocket time today, along with my new Snakewood 92.

What a wonderful box of sawcut crayola colours~ All those spears must write very well

Thank you Tim. Actually, the Crayola reference was how I feel when I look in that box, what an array of stunning color, in person.

The walnut that Sarah sent you is fantastic, as is her wonderful hand writing, among other talents she obviously has.

Great Work Evan, that just looks fantastic, and Primble my friend - thats a pretty darned nice case you have there Sir! Wow!!!

Thank you for the comment Duncan ! :thumbup:

Does that mean you thought my Barlows looked like crapola Marko ??!! :barf::barf::foot::grumpy:

(Now we are even, my friend)

Rob, you're a class act. Great display of some of the finest. :thumbup:

Kind of you to say Bob. I reciprocate that notion back at you. :thumbup:

Love the crayons:thumbup:

Rob, I was thinking a photo or 2, but I could see it in my pocket! The bone on that one looks to have incredible depth.

I would beam a smile whenever I looked into that box and saw that array in the sunlight as well
