Re: Favorite custom knife makers?
It was a gift from my son. He bought three of Barry’s knives at a gun show about 15-20 years ago, IIRC in Mesquite, TX. One for his brother, one for himself and one for me. They were all different - the one I have is small enough to be pocket carried in its Kydex sheath.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2024 12:26 amVery nice! Do you remember where you got it?

I really like this Ashwinearl Lambsfoot and the green canvas micarta. Very smooth action and solid. Great knives.

Re: Favorite custom knife makers?
Thanks you very much.
My current branding is now Ash.
I redrew my lambfoot pattern using a classic Sheffield. It's on my list to build again but have several others ahead.

Speaking of Ash...I love my Hackberry Root Burl Wharncliffe Bullet Teardrop. Without a doubt one of the finest custom knives I own.

Great Customs gentlemen!
Those Ashwinearls are Awesome. Love the Lambsfoot and that Hackberry Root Burl Wharncliffe Bullet Teardrop is absolutely Amazing.
And Lyle, those Farmer Jacks are Spectacular!
