Very nice Barlow, Charlie. You sure do have an eye for 'em. ::tu::

Here's my latest acquisition, my first "real" Robeson Barlow, along with one of Charlie's better ideas. :lol: ::nod::

I was lucky enough to get one of the Cranberry saw cut bone TC barlows from Knives Ship Free yesterday. Did anyone else get one?
I tried for one of the ebony wood ones also, but missed out on that one.

Missed out on the lolly scramble again by minutes. ::facepalm::

Those are some really nice looking knives, though I'm not normally a huge fan of micarta on a Barlow. Would love to see the ebony and red bone when they arrive. I dig the curvature and overall profile of the GEC sheep on that knife. ::tu::

I am updating this thread with the 2018 "Tom's Choice" barlows on a #14 frame. These are so well made they seem to have personality, like a friendly companion. And sweet in hand with a very sharp good looking clip blade. Best little Barlow ever !
