I'm with ya monk. I collect barlows but to me they aren't really a barlow. They are beautiful knives but not very practical. The conductor is just about right for me though I don't know if I'll EDC this one or not. It's just too nice to scuff up.

I can't wait to see the collection you have coming. ::ds::

I just received my GEC barlow and I will respectfully disagree. I think, for me, that it will work
fine. I would like it a little bigger but I think it will make a good EDC. We're all different, though.

Earl,

That looks great. Sorta wish I'd gotten a buff also. Is that a white streak in yours just below the shield or a glare from the light?

whoa!
thanks for the heads-up!
::tu::
i'm glad they got that stuff figured out.
i was doubtful the kauri wood would work, since it's so soft.
looks like they got some heavy duty stabilization done - the wood is usually a golden honey color.

Falah:

I don't know of any buffalo horn #33s available right now but if I run onto one in my searching and sifting through the various knife sources, I'll let you know right away.

Best,
