My little West-Cut # 335 that I probably carry more than any of my other knives just cuz it holds a edge so darn well. Guess I`m partial to Westerns without even realizing it.

Those 335s are amazing! They really hold an edge.
I put stag on one & gave it to my dad.
He lost it and I had to give him the other one I had for me, though it still had the composition handles.
He finally found the one he lost, but didn't volunteer to give me back the spare!

He has had a lot of good and expensive knives, but insists the West Cut 335 holds an edge better than any of them!

Hey Dale,

I have to agree with you and your Dad. I finally found my photos of this little jewel. Maybe I can talk you into rehandling this one for me one of these days. It needs it. A couple pins seem to be gone on one side but the handles are holding in place ok so far but the handles are pretty worn. I keep imagining what it would looks like with stag handles and a little more buffing on the blades which are still in fine shape!!

I tried to find a pic of the one I did for my Dad, but I guess I didn't get a picture of it.

My goodness Dale!! You have it down to a fine art!! That is some absolutley beautiful work on those knives! While i love all of them, I especially like what you have done with that T-29. That is truley one exceptional Barlow now! If you ever get the hankerin and time to rehandle my old Western 335 shown in the previous posts send me a PM and we can go from there. Great work!
