Here all the walnut handled TC models I believe. Just found the Sheepfoot/Pen. Lloyd
Great find Lloyd! Don't know how you do it!:thumbup:
 
Thanks Perry! Constantly looking and inquiring and searching and then checking again and many fine collectors on this forum offering to sell or trade a particular specimen they know I am looking for and vice versa etc. Help from long time collectors just like you for example! This forum has the best and most helpful collectors in the world. Really the best of the best imho. Lloyd
 
This one is special not just because it is a first run TC Barlow, but because it was a gift from a fellow forum member. Thank you Sarah. It's not left my side since I received it.


:)

I see its early marks (pepperspot patina) endured its well-deserved Spa treatment. Just, funny recognizing the blade itself, still. (I like that; hopefully you don't mind. :o)



Thanks! I've now attached a lanyard (read: piece of leather inexpertly cut that I tied knots in after looping it through the bail), and am carrying it again today. This one deserves a short video, to show how the wood (walnut?) "chatters" in the sunlight, sporting holographic chatoyance in the pileside grain.

One of my favorites covered in Jobillo and I turned a crown lifter in Jobillo, its such a beautiful wood.
(My goal is to collect a knife covered in each of my favorite woods to turn.)

That's really cool! I have a #79 Workhorse Whittler in jobillo, and love the wood. Its grain and coloration remind me of mahogany, another favorite wood. [I don't have a mahogany-covered knife, but its my preference for guitars.] Nice job on the crown lifter, and a very fine #25. :)

If I weren't on business in a place with spiky things, I "wood" be carrying this:

Another view, in cooler, definitely damper, surroundings:

For the curious, it's a special run of (old) Schrade 5OTs done for Ducks Unlimited. The blade is Schrade+ steel and mirror-polished. The difference in appearance for the scales is due to lighting. In the hand, it looks more like it does on the golden barrel cactus.
