What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Smooooth White Bone :D

Nice Ron and Fred:cool::thumbup:

I NEVER carried single blade TC's before, I was always a two blade fan. The Spear Walnut was a gift from Duncan sometime ago (thank you again Duncan) and the Ancient I purchased when they were released. Why I was so oblivious to the single blade carry remains a mystery to me. They say "good things come to those who wait":o

Indeed they do Paul~ Two very nice barlows. I for one am a sucker for single blade carry. Unless it's a pen behind knife the single blade make's it easiest for me to actuate and open the knife itself :)
 
EVERYBODY- the classic photos of stunning knives is lovely to see.

I'm stuck in a Hotel room- can't wait to get home to my girls.

Paul my friend- I owe you so much- it's nice to see Charlie's Dads Walnut out.
 
I received my 14 Barlow in the mail today. I like this knife a lot, it's one of my favourite GECs. It is small, but GEC got the proportions right on this one. It feels quite a bit more substantial than my coyote, and the pull and walk and talk give it some authority.

I am surprised, as I initially had doubts, but I give this pattern a thumbs up. It may finally be the peanut buster that GEC has been searching for for a while. I look forward to receiving a few more standard 14s in other handle materials.

I noticed that tip off too, GT. The "C" on the 14 has a thick back side, and the proportions are somewhat different. The "C" on the 15 is mostly round while the 14 is more flat/oval shaped.

Huh, when I had my 14 I knew something was different but didn't realize it was such a difference.

Terrific pictures everyone:thumbup::cool:

A neat overcast Summer night allowing for great picture taking light:)

My Anniversary Red Soup with my recent #14's. My initial thought was that the 14's were to small for my liking, after several days of carry I've been proven wrong.

The best box of treasure I have every seen! Is that a soup bone clip up top or is that the inside out bone? Both runs were before my time on the forum, beautiful!!!

I always thought Soup Bone was the nickname of the Inside Out Bone. Sounded better. I might be wrong.
