Great choice Alan. I've had my eye on those since they first came out, just haven't worked up the courage to make it happen. That's some awesome stag. Do you have it in hand or is it on the way? Inquiring minds want to know.

Turtle, I know what you mean. I've thought about one of these for three months now. Its going to take plenty of elbow grease and mink oil to get the sheath broken in though :wink: .

Jerry, I just received this one yesterday. I really like the choice of blade, for me it perhaps is the most versatile for what I like to do. Nice Knarly stag and a heavy swedge. They left the heat treat on the upper area of the blade which is kinda different. I also like the fact one can open it by just pulling the blade, don't think I'll ever use the nail nick.

Barry, What style blade is that in the TC? I like it... Looks like a spear but perhaps not. Cool

Correct, a long spey blade. Very sheeple friendly; for the livestock, not so much. :|

By the way guys, the "Day's Work" etch on Charlie Campagna's TC Barlow was my concept, design and slogan. :)

Thanks for involving me Charlie! ::super_happy::

That's cool Barry, what a thrill to be involved in one of Charlie's masterpieces. I love this particular etch. Single spey Charlow in AB here :)

Thanks Jeff! I've been working on another project for Charlie on an upcoming SFO; it involves a recent popular style knife that will be produced in a deluxe version. I can't say more, but it'll be sweet! ::super_happy::
