Dave is correct...that is a special mod that I did for Charlie. One of my personal favorites too.

All TC's are SFO -- right now, Charlie is the only dude who designs them.

Except for the 2014 Rendezvous, though it had his ok.

Great Barlows, John, especially the Tip Top.

Those Tip Tops are great, but the blade steel on them must have been soft. I have 2, and both have worn tangs and very little snap.

Great looking Camilus, Augie! I love a nice long pull clip.

Thanks guys, that Camillus is one of my favorites.

Glenn, not sure if its the steel or heavy use and never lubing the joints, I do find quite a few with worn tangs but they are almost always dry and rusty.

Here is this weeks haul of Barlows, a Queen Dan Burke, a German made Russell and a vintage Kutmaster. All 3 are bone and in great shape.

Good stuff everyone!

I'm carrying this one for the day:

 

[SadSappySucker]

Man, I really like the covers on the Queen and Russel, Augie. That red(?) saw cut Queen is especially nice, though

Congrats, P&G!! :thumbup: In my opinion, your new sawcut soupbone sheepsfoot and the sawcut antique amber in your avatar are a pair of awesome showstoppers!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Seven Spears Saturday

Holy Llama Loins, Gus!! Very impressive!! :thumbup::thumbup: What "treatment" did you give the blades to get that uniform patina?? I've been through infatuations with various straightedge blades, wharncliffe and sheepsfoot in particular, but I've decided that my heart belongs to spearpoints!

Another week, another awe-filled congratulations over the fantastic barlows you track down, Augie! :thumbup::thumbup: Your "Barlow productivity" knows no bounds!!

Thanks, it's my main squeeze at the moment. Evan, aka Esnyx, put the covers on.
