Nice picture, Barry. Well set, in a wood working shop.
Is this where you create those great carvings you do?

Poignant pic as well Jon, a very old Russell, still working!!

Mailed out over 70 SF Barlows yesterday! As far away as Norway and Australia!!
The plan to put a Barlow in every pocket is working nicely!! :mrgreen:
Utopia!! A chicken in every pot!! And a Barlow in every pocket!!!

Charlie, your Barlows are appreciated by any who hold one in their hand! Exceptional in every way! ::tu:: ::tu::

My garage is a garage in name only, as it houses my wood shop! I'm looking for a spot for that little jig saw today, but space is at a premium! What can I do without to make more room??? ::undecided:: Certainly not this little jewel!

I got this one in today... My first Charlow, custom in lace wood with a spear blade. Sweet! ::ds::
I may have missed the spears when they came out but I make up for it with this one. ::groove::

Thanks! I'm pleased to have it. Fits nice in the hand & the lace wood is easy on the eyes! I should have picked one up sooner. ::nod:: I have one of the new sheepsfoot coming in the walnut wood, can't wait to see it. ::ds:: it was a hard choice between the African blackwood & the walnut wood. Both nice woods. ::tu::

This page needs more pictures :-)

The 2 blade weighs 25% more than the single blade, 73gms vs 57gms

Beautiful Heirloom Gun Stock Walnut! I really enjoy your photos.

Here is a little fantasy knife, the SheepSpear Twin Blade, for the man who wants to supersize his pen blade.

LOL! Im concerned amplification might make the package too big for my britches.

We Jews do have a penchant for special purpose cutlery, usually single blades, such as the Challah knife, and the Bris knife we use for compulsory size reduction.

> which is better the sheeps foot or spear

When in doubt, both is best :-)

I just ordered a #15 Boys Knife EO in Rust Red w/single Sheepfoot and am very excited to receive it. I'm liking he Sheepfoot more and more seeing it here on the forum. Decided it would make a great workhorse/beater knife for heavier chores. I also can see the decided advantage (and this is a big one) of the perfectly STRAIGHT EDGE of the Sheepfoot when it comes to sharpening. VERY easy to keep a perfect edge compared to that tricky curve found on other blades.

Anyone got EO #15 pics they can post up to help keep me going til mine arrives???

Thanks!

Its a beauty, and I feel honored to be part of the Heirloom Gunstock Walnut Clan.

I love the TC Barlow with ebony wood handles and spear blade! Too bad I missed it. If anyone wants to sell his or has an idea where I can still buy one I would be very happy.

Great Barlows you got! ::tu::
