All About Pocket Knives

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!!

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

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??? Certainly not this little jewel!

Woo Hoo, its SheepXmass. Loving how the Blackwood is really slick and glossy!

Very nice line up ya got there Jon.

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

First one I have seen with custom handles, Ryan! Looks great!!

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. I have one of the new sheepsfoot coming in the walnut wood, can't wait to see it. it was a hard choice between the African blackwood & the walnut wood. Both nice woods.

Man they sure look worthy! Can't wait!! Just can't wait!!

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

Good day today... my sheepsfoot Charlow in walnut wood is here!
Here she is...

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.

Nice Walnut on that one, Wood-Guy!

You should teach yourself to do that surgery, Jon!!

Thanks! very nice little knife, like the blade on it! Sweet! Can't decide which is better the sheeps foot or spear... either way both are nice knives!

> You should teach yourself to do that surgery, Jon!! 

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

Hmmmm perhaps a clip blade Charlow in wood...
Nice variety there Jon.

I'll tell you what Jonathan I like that! I can totally see that combo

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!

Thanks for my Walnut Charlow, Barlie
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!

These two arrived today. a couple of #15s... Scout in ebony wood & Charlow in African blackwood. great pattern and blade combo. it's hard to show in the pics but this African blackwood has light brown in it as well. Pretty sweet!

I´ve got my TC Barlow out of customs today and man, it´s a beauty! As this one is fpr my collection I need a user as well for sure.
Too bad I missed out on the spear point bladed version. If anyone has it and want´s to part with it I would be quite interested!
I´ve been looking all over for it bvut wasn´t lucky up to now.

The african blackwood version, the nicest to me:

Congrats, great photo composition

Congrats on your recent find capt. Farrel! I have the single blade version & am very pleased with it. good luck in finding a spear model, it took me a while to find one, but when I did I found a beauty. Here's a pic of it. Custom in lacewood.

Yours isn´t bad either! Both the knife and the food makes my mouth water!

@Ryan: Those handles are looking awesome! I hope eventually I will be lucky too.

Thanks! I definitely lucked out on that one.
