I just finished up a 5-pack of swinden-style barlow mods. They all had the fake sawcut plastic covers. One I did in ebony, one in smooth white bone, one in dyed jigged bone, then one in gnarly stag, and the last in mammoth ivory.

If those were a poker hand, they'd be a royal flush!
Looks like you maintained the Swinden pin, or did an excellent job of working around the bolster stamps.
As always, beautiful job!

We have like taste 313 Mike. That ebony is my favorite and the jigged bone. Glenn you do such fabulous work. But then that mammoth looks great too.

Re: Swinden-style barlow mods
I agree, they turned out great. What a 5 pack to go!! Redone Barlows are one of my favorites.

Beautiful work!
Without the Swindon system it would be nearly impossible to repin a Schrade Barlow with their fancy bolsters.

Re: Swinden-style barlow mods
Agreed! The downside to the Swinden system is when the blades get play, there is not a lot that can be done to fix it without major rework.orvet wrote:Beautiful work!
