What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Todd Isa 53]

I think Sheepfoot + Soupbone makes a GOOD, yes maybe even a GREAT Barlow... Of course, I am bias.

Goes with your calloused hands, Todd!!

Thank you... these callouses are as special to me as the Soupbone. About as hard to come by as well. Its takes TIME.

Not a great photo and horrible lighting but it will do for now. These are my keepers so far. When each run comes out I have an idea of which will be my favorite and for some odd reason I end up keeping what I thought would be my least wanted. Weird how that works, does anyone else do that?

For example
Single Copperhead Pick Bone -> Double New Day Blackwood
Scratted Parchment Bone -> Plane Jane Ancient Ebony that has a wonderful dated look to it
Chesnut Bone Beer Scout -> GunScout
Old Red Bone 77 -> Canvas Micarta and Stag

Thanks Charlie and Mike for the knives.

Tex - That is a great set. :thumbup:

I see that you are in the same boat as me, in missing a single clip blade.

At least that 1st run NF has a clip.


GT - Thank you sir. I appreciate that.

My Soup Bone Barlow is coming back to me, and your pictures just made me more excited for my knife...these extra soupy Barlows are beautiful.

PS...THANKS to CHIEF for offering to sell it back to me


Here's an old pic of it...

Charlie, going back to post 11509, is this a hint at what's coming up next...?

(Perhaps the next Ancient should have a spear blade!!??)

I used to hate wood -- these covers turned me!

I agree Gus, the wood covers on the TC's are possibly my favourites due to how they're cut with that great chamfer.
