Thank you for Primble-izing MY knife Roberto! :eek: Is that in todays mail? :eek::D
 
Thank you for the comments on the old NYKC Barlow guys. I had wanted a nice one for a long time. The bone handles were an original dull black over mahogany when I got it. Some very careful rubbing slowly revealed the beauty of the bone. Some guys would have left it as found, but, not me. I was extremely careful, however, and nearly wore down my thumb nail, which covered each pin, ;) as I rubbed out the bone. :o:)
 
That piece is just exquisite...pure excellence...epic!! Can you provide me with a map to the rabbit hole?:D Did Alice hand it to your personally?

I thought about it...that must be the legend to the map on the bolster;)

That was hilarious Gevo - you are smarter that the average bear, err I mean rabbit, to figure out that bolster/map deal so quickly ! :thumbup::eek::D:D

Alice said to tell you "hello". :D

Primble that Barlow is sweet and your pictures as always are great!! Barry :D I love those knives you have as always!! Here are 2 more of mine, not sure if I posted the scimitar here before.











 
Wow, that scimitar is amazing! I have never seen anything like it before or even knew something like that was ever made. :eek: The curved long pull is another first for me. I'm betting this was not an inexpensive knife in it's day.

The congress is simply as nice a rendition of the pattern as I have seen.

Thank you Mike and those are two fine examples. The scimitar type knife is very unique! :eek::)

I wonder if the makers visited the beach on the prior weekend? :D

Could have alternatively been called a WAVE knife, based on the look of it.

Is the tobacco congress blade etched or stamped - hard to tell from the picture? :confused:
