I got re-interested in traditionals when Charlie released his ancients ( I don't know whether to thank him or not! Haha). Thanks everyone for the pics and your knife stories.

Nice collection, Willard!!
Does that bottom closed knife have "variegated" Ebony handles???

 

[willard0341]

I'm not quite following you sir, I haven't tinkered with it. Just real light ebony

Willard, that Ebony is awesome!

Colonel Coon - from the 1970's when Adrian Harris made them.

Went to Smokey Mountain Knifeworks last week, and my head exploded. Coolest place on the planet. I picked up this barlow because I liked the honey colored covers, it reminds me of the honey bone on the latest run of the 54 moose. This is a Winchester barlow, made by queen, commissioned by blue grass cutlery.
It has great snap and makes a great edc.

Sorry for the delay.
Still getting used to the new environment.
I sent you a PM with the details.

I like the Winchester Barlow, but surely it didn't come with the blade discoloration and staining?? I assume it is carbon steel, not stainless.

That barlow is beautiful Charles. So what is the approximate age of that knife?
