I don't often hit the "like" button on those Lionsteel knives, I feel they are more modern/traditionals. But the composition of that photo is such beauty that I couldn't help myself.

One of your better ideas Charlie... natural micarta on a sheepfoot barlow equals one great Forum Knife. I bought two! The user is ageing very nicely as seen above. Thank you Charlie!

Yes, Charlie, red barlows are great, and when they are a gift, even greater! This 1965-'69 Case arrived this week from Darren's fun, funny giveaway, and is GREATLY appreciated. Looks really good next to my Ancient TC, as well.

Nice Fall pics, Jeff!!
And nice Barlows!!

The TC looks the older of the two!!

Thanks, Charlie, I think they're both young at heart!

It wouldn't post the first time. I had to get help reducing the file!!

 

[waynorth]

We also altered the front label, making it black and white, with a little gold!

How about one with a lot of patina, this early Remington must have sat unused in a humid shed or garage for 80 or so years, still tight and snappy with full blades, can still see original factory grind on blades.

Nice find Augie! I don't mind the patina - in fact I love it!
I understand the temptation to clean it off, but we must remain strong!!

I have a few barlows, but this one keeps ending up in my pocket.

This wheelgun has helped me sleep well for the last 35 years. Is pretty heavy and I shoot 9mm better but 357s make big holes. Smooth bone ancient is the cat's PJs, thanks waynorth
