What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

A sheepfoot is probably a year or two into the future!!

I can wait. Thanks for the update.
Maybe I'll try to pick up one of the clips to tide me over.

Well, just got home an ripped open my mail and out comes this beauty! Love this knife already. Love the character on my covers and the bolsters looks great! Love this spear point too. Great walk and talk, gonna be a sweet user!

A 14 clip TC barlow sounds great!

Whatcha think - gnarliest Ancient Bolster? Whatcha got?

The only blade in a #14 to date has been a spear. Later this year a Clip will appear!

Been wondering about these and looking forward to them. Can't wait to see what handle material/color/finish you go with.

Maybe maybe not, I don’t know.

That is a cool looking bolster! Funny. I've got a very old Schrade that has blades that appear very close to this new bolster. Well done again, GEC!

Fantastic collection of TCs. It would make me smile too.

It was good of the armed guards to stay out of the photo!

Happy with this one and not having to maintain it in pristine condition is a blessing

Here's a Schrade with gnarly bolsters.

Nice one Rob, here is a Schrade Cut Co with not quite as gnarly bolsters but the spear is very similar to the ancient.

Oh how I wish GEC would do a run of #14s where the secondary was a coping blade. I get (and appreciate) the traditionalism (is that a word?! ) of the pen blade. But man, I'm a sucker for a coping secondary. I wish one of the SFO orderers would plead with GEC for a batch of 2-blades with a coping secondary!

That would be a awesome combination!
