What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Camillus]

I just noticed that the cranberry saw cut bone TC barlows have a lot in common with the color of the Queen made strawberry bone Robeson knives.

It’s like the color of the black box winchesters, also Queen made, that GEC brought back a few years ago.

I would like to see a stockman in this type of bone.

Looking real good Charlie, lot of the lines of the old ones made it into this one, excellent second rendition of the Ancient Barlow.

 

[Half/Stop]

Well Charlie it looks like you and Bill have created another winner! If you look up the word Ancient in the dictionary they will have a picture of that TC for an illustration!

 

[waynorth]

Thanks for the kudos my friends. It's all from the hands of Bill at GEC!!
I just mutter in the background!!
BTW, there is an etch coming for the blade. The pics above are pre-production samples used to get the look just right!!l
