All About Pocket Knives

Here is a Robeson Shuredge Barlow I picked up for rebuilding at the OKCA show in April. Of course these had strawberry bone handles that couldn’t be matched, but I cam as close as I could. There is some color variation in the handles, especially in good light.
I am still experimenting with leather pocket pouches for knives I customize, so I included one made for this Barlow.

One of my grandsons graduated high school last Saturday. Besides a card with a picture of a dead president in it, (Grant) he got the Barlow. It was hard to tell, but I think he liked Barlow better than Grant.

I remembered before pics this time!

I didn't do a lot of fancy stuff, just cleaned it up, polished the springs inside, put on new bone and made the pouch.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Nice work Dale, I really like that one

Awesome stuff Dale!!! Very impressive!

Great job Dale! Your grandson's a lucky young man and congrats to him on his graduation!

That's a really nice job, Dale.
What a lucky young man your grandson is.

Nice work Dale! I like the way the bone runs so smoothly into the bolsters, nice fit and finish!

Man, I sure do like the look on that new bone. What a great gift! I got one like that, it's in much rougher shape. Think I will tweak it a bit and throw it in my pocket.

Beautiful!

Very well done Dale.

With you passing out graduation gifts like that it's almost enough to make a feller want to go back to school......................almost.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the positive feedback.

That bone looks pretty sweet-you did good once again---

That is a great job. I like Barlows, my first knife was a barlow.

Great job Dale I'm sure your grandson appericated the newly rebuilt barlow.
I know the several knives I have from you are some of my most treasured I
have in my collection. Thanks for showing us and keep up the great work.
