Hey Tank,

Another fantastic looking knife, thanks for sharing..

Hey Bill you've been holding back on us, that is one fine looking Bose/Case Collaboration knife. That looks like the Dogleg Jack which is one I don't have yet

. How do you like the workmanship on that knife.

Sheesh...

That was supposed to go in the STAG thread...what a dumbass I am.

It is a Jack of course. The construction is top notch, Ralph. Thanks for not harpooning me over the gaff (clever double entendre).

Just to make things right, and show you guys I know my stuff, here is another Barlow I have.....

Ahh heck no big thing...I do like your second barlow you posted though..That must be the Alamo barlow

I heard about those, I think they were handing them out as the Mexican army was advancing but ran out of time...

You mean the one with....er... I mean from the infamous sandbar

s-k

El Lobo · Post by **El Lobo** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 1:14 pm

Yes sir s-k,

That is the infamous SandBarlow...with SandBar Stag. Made from a truck spring...no, wait, they didn't have trucks then...made from 20 butter knives, yeah that's it. Stropped on the thighs of a virgin. Recovered at that Mission in San Antonio, Tejas.

Sorry for the minor detour...just trying to save face.

Here is a Barlow I forgot I had. I was cleaning up my desk and found it. It is called a Transition Series Barlow. It is made by Bear MGC. The knife seems solid enough but feels "clunky," It doesn't have lines & graceful 'flow' that a lot of the older Barlows have.
It does have bone handles, but is made of 440 steel according to the paperwork with it.

My new and FIRST two-blade barlow and I'm very proud of it.
It's an AGR grand canyon bone, 1095 steel, made by Boker, Solingen, and its the best made knife I have so far, flawless, smooth action, strong,crisp snap without being a nail-breaker, and a solid yet elegant EDC.
I think the overall quality of the knife makes it a worthy participant of this thread with all its super knives.

Just some more clues to confirm Schrade's hand in Belknap knives.
For the thread that never ends

Charlie, Incredible example of pristine knives as usual!!

Nice Imperials Redferd, I've got an Imperial DE myself that takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' as my daily hard use EDC.

OK that's it I';ve got to get at least one of my customs done before this thread goes under

muskrat man · Post by **muskrat man** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 11:27 pm

Well, I'm late to the party as usual. I made this as a birthday gift to myself, It has sat half finished for a month or two now, finally got around to finishing it. All 100% made by me from scratch. Satin finished stainless steel bolsters, mirror polished blade, dated and marked, pinned thin elk stag scales. My Camera is giving me trouble, so a scan will have to do for the time being. I'm thinking of having a stamp made with my connected MM mark, so on future ones I can heat the bolster and stamp them, a barlow should have artwork on the bolster you know

. I'm thinking on the next one I do, maybe a high saber grind, deep swedges and a long pull with the stamped bolsters and not sure on the handles, maybe smooth red bone

Nice work as always Kaleb!

You make it look so easy, I am going to have to get setup to heat treat so I can make my own blades & springs.

Great job.

Very nice Kaleb, you've done justice to my favorite pattern.

As far as stamps go, siskabob (ebay user name) of eBay can make a stamp for as littlte as $15.00 + $6.00 for shipping. He can make the letters in many sizes but I do not know if he would charge extra to have the MM at different levels. Here is a link to one now on eBay.

Best price I've seen and I've used one for about a year or so with no problems.

Thanks Hukk and Dale,

I'll have to get ahold of him and see what he'd charge to make me both a tangstamp and a bolster stamp. Here are some pics of the Daddy barlow.

Nice Daddy Barlow, Kaleb! Happy Birthday; a little late!

tank · Post by **tank** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 7:50 pm

Here's 3 more I got this week.
A SFO Schatt with winterbottom and a Bulldog with sheephorn.
The third is a Boker 493 fixer-upper. Gonna clea it and re-scale in something. Any suggestions? Stag, reindeer, elk, ironwood or maybe Chestnut since thats the tree on thier logo?

orvet · Post by **orvet** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 10:22 pm

I think that Boker would look good in stag or ebony.
Nice knives.

Be sure & let us see what it looks like when you re-handle it.
