What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

The new ancients look to be shaping up to be just as beautiful as the first rendition, which is one of my favorites. waynorth I always thought the blade marking was stamped on these, was this an etch also or is GEC doing it a bit different on the new ones.

Charlie mentioned earlier that those were stamped, but they had an issue with the blades warping.

Thanks, I guess I missed that. I am anxious to see how the etch comes out.

I picked up this "S" bolster Schrade barlow over the weekend. @Jfowl31 said I should call it Lil' Earl

Been surfing between here and GEC's site. I am fiending for an update on the antiques!

Well done Charlie

My anticipation level is high, but my chances of finding one of the new Ancient Spear blade TC’s are low. I’ll be at the beach next week and don’t plan on checking in online very often. I hope all the new owners get as much enjoyment out of their new TC’s as I have from this one.

That is one well-loved knife!

Such a good looking knife. Very nicely done, Charlie.

The antique relic finish & the color looks great -- especially like the blade profile

Those turned out great. The color of the covers turned out perfect to me.
Thank you Charlie & GEC for bringing these to us.

 

[tmd_87]

YES, this is just...WOW

 

[dispatch184]

Ditto! That came together very nicely : )

Impatiently waiting for the email....

Thanks for posting the GEC mag, Dylan! That's the first I have seen of the etch!
Looks good to me!
Someone mentioned Muscadine Wine in this thread, and I thought it a good name for the color of the handles!!
Muscadine grapes are native to North America, and most wine grapes in America have Muscadine root stock, I have been told.
GEC shipped some out today - they are about half-done with the final touches on the run!!
Can't wait to get my hands on those olde things!!

Thanks for the nice comments everybody!! I hope everyone gets one who wants one!!
I had only one variation made to help get them distributed!
