Augie, Phil, dbla wonderful Barlows!!!
I've had this same Schrade before but sometimes when I see one I just have to pick it up. All I've done is add an edge and tightened a fairly loose main blade. I was just swayed by the covers and the fact that I feel is a WONDERFUL Barlow like this needs to be back in action:thumbup:
I agree with you Paul !!! One like that needs to stay in circulation !!! Very nice find my friend !!!

Wow- Im not too sure how Paul does it - he must be Augie's hunting mate when it comes to knives I think!
Thats a beaut Paul matey. Loving that Bone mate - just a Golden Glow! Honey Bone....yeah that's it......
I have one the same- The Bone is lighter- Bought and was disappointed to find it had sideways movement in the Main Blade, I did exactly the same- but the Walk and Talk just feel rough - like a very fine ratchet mechanism - I know just how careful to be when clinching the Bolsters - peened the pin extremely carefully -hey it is way way better, and the first time I have had this result, I am thinking it was there before possibly but because of the loose movement didnt pick it up so much.

I love this thread... I always feel a bit like a student getting to sit in on a conversation between experts 
Learn more and more each time. I am looking forward to watching the video of Charlie, I really enjoy all of Rob's productions. And I have to say Duncan... we have never met but you strike me as one of the most genuine, loyal, and kind guys around. Your posts are always so obviously heartfelt :thumbup:
I knew exactly which version of Charlie's latest run that I wanted and painfully waited while many others came across the Exchange (especially the Yellow Hearts!) But in the end it was worth it! Thank you for the trade BladeBrain :thumbup:

Nice couple of sawcut TC's, gents! :thumbup:
LastRodeo, that's probably one of the best versions of the TC Barlow out there, in my opinion. And that's some serious Ragg on that #14, Drew! Very nice!

Thank you Duncan, I wasn't looking for a Schrade vintage Barlow but it was just there at the right price and I felt obligated to get it back into circulation:thumbup:
Thank you Dean, she's old and a bit worn bit with many years of service left:thumbup:

Just a BEAUTIFUL Ragg Drew, and very true words in regards to Duncan, but don't let him know I said that
