Alan, I have heard of a couple of people who polished the bolsters, to correct the "flaws"!
I should have included more specific instructions!!
Well....maybe for us dummies

Thanks for posting this great blowup, Gary!Charlie's Ancient Barlows are really something special. Stamped on the blade are his initials and the Sicilian Trinacria or Triskelion, the symbol of the island.
My pleasure, Charlie.Thanks for posting this great blowup, Gary!
My current setup cannot achieve blowups - yet!
Nice "figgy" pic, Bob! Does boiled linseed oil give a dry finish?
...
Those are amazing. There's nothing better than old barlows but the search is long.... and dark is the way.....Group shot of some old single-blade barlows...
Augie Sir, - Beautiful Old and New Bone there! Again the I*XL'S Bone is just amazing - what is the Barlow 2nd from Top, I can make out "STEEL" on the Tang?
Thank you Duncan, the tang is stamped High Carbon Steel, I've read a few different things about this stamp, one that it was used on knives made for Sears Roebuck Company. It's been attributed to Camillus manufacture but this one sure looks like Schrade to me.
