It's not traditional, but it's good and it's a barlow.

This GESCUT (Sabre) granddaddy wants to be loved, and it is very useful. Just a little rough around the edges (especially the swedge).

Do any of you Barlow aficionados have any of the new John Primble Barlows from Blue Grass ?
I am curious about the F&F and what the steel is.
