The main blade was quite worn and someone had tried to fashion an ersatz-type wharncliffe out of it. I had to reshape the end around the nail nick to clean up a straight cut that just plain looked odd. That happens occasionally with old knives. Anyway, better now than it was and is actually a nice, sharp and quite functional old barlow.

Nothing official been released yet, other than the covers and blade shape. Not even on Charlie's site. A few people have posted that Charlie has told them it's a long pull.

Thanks for repeating that Photo Sarah - that is a beautiful knife there Atiger, just a awesome example of how good a Barlow can be!
Speaking of Awesome Barlows, I was always waiting for one of these to show- every time it did - I missed out, I must thank Invoice ( Neal ) once again for stepping aside for me to grab this, I just think that was amazing, I couldnt talk him out of it!
Queen - when they get it good- they get it GOOD ...wOW...
New Zealands lovely Native Rimu Wood supports this gorgeous Barlow knife - when you get the Heart of the Rimu - the Colours are so magnificent - it's my favourite Wood, the Forum Barlow is a Stunner it was worth a long long long wait!!!

Holy cow! I would have thought that was burnt stag. That's a great looking knife. The bolster stamps make it look royal!

I have had the same exact knives for 2 years . I know for sure that your pictures do not do your knives justice.
Very happy to see your posting of them.Thought you would like to see these too.

Hi Harry. It's great to see your photos! And of far superior quality to mine. My first knives as a child were Joseph Rodgers and Eye Witness brands. I lament the passing of the old school knife makers in Sheffield - I think the (Barlow) knives that were made by them were pretty damn good. Mark.

Very nice knives Harry and MJ, I posted this before but I think it worth to show an older member to the TEW family here. Quality knives by all means
