Welcome to the porch! You picked a heck of a first traditional. Those dogheads start out stunning and just get better as the shield and bolster start to patina. Great start to a collection. :thumbup:

I got bitten hard by the traditional bug -- completely out of the blue, as I've been exclusively a locking/modern knife guy for many years -- and my research (much of it here on the forums!) led me to the Ka-Bar Dog's Head Coppersmith Barlow:

This is my first post here, and I'd just like to say thanks to everyone -- especially here in the Traditional sub-forum -- for making BF such an amazing resource. My wallet, on the other hand, has already borne the burden of a small flurry of knife orders over the past couple of days, and wishes a pox on all your houses.
Welcome to traditionals, Dadpool, and congratulations on that splendid coppery barlow! :thumbup::thumbup:
As for BF being an amazing resource, and your wallet wishing a pox on all our houses: better get used to it!!

Like quitting smoking, it's the easiest thing to do. I've done it hundreds of times.

Ed The Osage Orange is a revelation, fine look to it. I'm eagerly awaiting my liner-lock version.
In the meantime, this Teardrop arrived today. I immediately pimped the bone a bit and pleased with the outcome. No gaps and decent W&T, sharp despite a burred edge and odd bevel. Blade is not centre but it's not touching the liner (close thing though..) Very reasonable price and makes a tidy light carry/gent's knife. It sort of reminds me of a quill knife in some ways, the frame itself could also house a different blade if wanted, say Wharncliffe or a more conventional Spear.
Regards, Will

ED - That is a nice one. A little darker than some I have seen including mine. Very nice:thumbup:

Tom - That is a beauty :thumbup::thumbup:
BT - That Queen is a real looker :thumbup:
Will - I am eager to see some photos of your Liner Lock when it arrives. That Teardrop is a great knife, small, thin, lightweight and very handy.:thumbup:

I recently received several Colt and Rough Rider knives that I'll post here over the next few days if I can get photos of all of them. Here's a RR1383, a 3.75" lockback with a 3" stainless clip blade and "jigged bark bone" covers. It's well made, decent fit and finish, smooooth action, locks solid. I'm happy!
