Posted previously on another thread, but I reckon it belongs here. My recently re-handled Wostenholm Barlow.

Sitting reading your post Charlie as we are celebrating VE day in our socially distanced times. A great reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedoms. I knew of Stew's blade but the story must have passed me by. What a fitting tribute to a man who obviously meant so much to you all and a blessing that you were able to accomplish this tribute.

Some nice Barlow’s, an Imperial, GEC Northfield, Boker Tree Brand, and one of the weird backspring Queens.
