Bringin this thread back to life! Im enjoying my bone micarta roundhead that I recently got. While I liked the other handle options, ive been wanting something gentlemanly like an ivory or smooth white bone. Micarta ended up fitting the bill pretty well with this available and decently priced barlow. If one wanted to split hairs, you could find something to nit pick about in regards to fit and finish, but I think they are so minor that I wont bother listing any. Does anyone know the factory edge angle on this blade? I usually collect 1095 and just use the lansky turn box for my sharpening needs. This steel would probably take some time on that setup, as I dont yet have diamond rods. But even more useless if my kit doesnt provide the angle option that comes from the factory. This is my first "supersteel" and I worry ill have to upgrade my sharpening gear just for this sweet knife!
