Glorious bolsters!!!I see Buzz has proposed a triad so here’s three old barlows...
That's a sweet pair Will!
These two arrived in a trade Thanks Andrew
Of course, some people knock Micarta (it's more than strong enough to take it ) but I really favour it. Pimped these up to my taste by polishing the bolsters The 56 is one of the most comfortable in the hand patterns and Micarta offers strong yet attractive scales that unlike bone is not going to get cracked with use.
Thanks, Will
That would be interesting.I wonder if anyone knows when micarta was first used as a knife handle material? Would be interesting to read.
Nice pair! Very interesting Ebony barlow there. It looks like a 'slim' version.But if three is pushing the rules a bit, here’s a pair...
