I got this Imperial Ireland promotional Barlow NOS off the Bay for $12. Fake bolsters, hollow plastic handles, secondary bevel on one side only, but decent enough action and no blade play. I really like it.

Great little Barlow...I also like Ray O Vac...reminds of Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a half Century..

A thoughtful and generous gift from Will Power . Thank you my friend. The knife is great but it being a gift takes it to a new level. I look forward to carrying it for years to come.

This new gem comes courtesy of Jerbhola89 . Such a kind gesture. I’m already bonding quite well with this one. I spent some time tonight working on buffing the Micarta. It will be nice to get some new pics in the sunlight tomorrow.

Thanks again Jeremy!

The color and character of the wood looks really nice Is it smooth in your hand or do you feel any texture?

Looks great! I am wondering what you use to buff the micarta.

I have been using Ren Wax and noticed that, at first, it lightens up the fibers, giving a nice contrast. Then, with time, the micarta darkens and the contrast is reduced. I am wondering if that contrast can be restored. Got any ideas?

E ErikMB This is the second burlap Micarta I’ve done with this technique, and it does seem to last quite a while before I have to touch it up. I start with 1000 grit sandpaper and then go up to 1200, 1500, 2000, and then I buff it with a cotton rag with Flitz paste. Didn’t take me very long. Maybe 40 minutes or so.

I just touch up my 47 with a bit of Flitz now and then.

Small amount of texture but really not much. I really dig it.

Solingen made Boker barlow SMKW exclusive in acid washed, O1 tool steel, burlap Micarta, and copper pins/liners/bolsters.

It's no secret that I'm a HUGE fan of the Solingen made Boker barlows... But what I'm not a fan of is the finish Boker puts on their Micarta. I think I'll be using this one to practice re-covering and peening.

This is in flight as I type...maple burl.

Another gem, Bob, you and K'roo seem to have a relationship made in knife heaven!

Harry, you are the king of stag.
