Despite my extensive knife-snaffling travels, during which I’ve seen tens of thousands of knives in antique shops and flea-markets, I am yet to come across a single old example of a Sheffield-made Barlow. Astonishing isn’t it? I can only assume that the overwhelming majority of Barlow knives were exported. Thanks to my good friend Charlie Waynorth however, I now have my very first old Sheffield Barlow, a lovely IXL Spearpoint with saw-cut bone covers. Auspiciously, the knife arrived in a package which reached me on August 1st – Yorkshire Day, and it wasn’t the only extra thing I had to celebrate, because Charlie had also included two more knives.





Knowing my love of the Lambsfoot pattern, Charlie had generously sent me a titanic 4 1/8” William Rodgers with a secondary Pen, and beautiful jigged bone covers. It is in fantastic condition.





Last, but certainly not least, was one of Charlie’s new Lick Creek #14 Barlows in smooth ivory bone. I love the size of this gorgeous little knife, and it went straight into my pocket, accompanying me to see ScruffUK and ADEE yesterday. Where, during our delayed Yorkshire Day celebration, it saw its first use – saving my beer from a kamikaze mosquito! Scruff captured the occasion for posterity!



Thanks so much Charlie, you have made an old Yorkshireman very happy my friend :) I'm sure you'll be seeing plenty more of these three folks :) :thumbup: For now, please excuse the photos, Photobucket is acting up again, so I'm using direct links from Google :rolleyes:

Sorry about the pics guys, I don't understand why the Google links aren't working, and Photobucket is still being an ass :grumpy: I'll try and get them up asap :thumbup:
 
Same thing happened to me with google links, I started up lode from my PC. Any look like cool gifts

Jack, very very nice gifts/knives (sorry that pics aren't working) I do see the TC though:thumbup: a unique task completed with the #14 Barlow:D

Both Charlie and yourself are very generous members here, nice to see this exchange between two great members:thumbup:
 
Thanks a lot guys :) It's very annoying, strangely the pics are showing for me, but they should be there for everyone. I recently upgraded to a paid membership on Photobucket, but it has made no difference. I hope to get the pics up at some point :(
 
Well, the TC looks like a winner!!!

Gyaah always some excuse,photobucket not working,the brexit,floods,not enough time because of work!:p:D.
What fantastic YDPs (yorkshire day prezzies) and a more deserving recipient would be harder to find than a Yorkshire made barlow in Yorkshire (actually that doesn't sound too hard but I'm alluding to the scarcity and Yorkshires most ardent knife hunter not being able to track one down..aaah . you know what I mean);)
And the jigging on the old Rodgers bears a striking resemblance to my grandads little old penknife I posted earlier. -very similar.What a beauty.
Looks like the LCB has become the slayer of fat rascals already.
Cheers.
 
Oh yeah, Jack. That is the sweet stuff right there!
 
Pics at last! And nice ones, Jack!
The interweb shouldn't be that intransigent!!:mad:

Oh man I am so glad the pics came up!

Charlie- Thank you for being such a generous guy - you really do some awfully decent things - and theres a sneakily high suspicion that we the public only see a wee bit of just how generous you are, and its just so nice seeing two of the Forums finest people swapping gifts - like all the time :rolleyes:, but man it's good :thumbup:

I love the I*XL!!!! and its just begs to mention that lovely wee TC! Great knives!
 
Bravo Charlie, some wonderful and well thought gifts. :thumbup:

I know Jack shall enjoy these a great deal.
