Shoot an email my way, please.
I've got a Sarge BSA Barlow that appears to have your name on it.
Well, the Sarge arrived at the Post Office today.
To say the least, I am impressed.
I was not expecting half-stops, and it is even prettier in person.
I promised Shawn (Wurrwulf) I'd tell y'all about it.
Both blades are sharp out of the box, and are well centered. The grinds appear even.
There is no blade wobble. After a drop er two of oil on the joints, (I always oil the joints when I get a knife ... whether they need it or not.
) both blades have a pull of 5.
The springs are a touch proud in the half-stop position, (big deal, I don't normally use the blade at half stop) and are flush in both the open and closed positions. Excellent "Walk and Talk" for both blades.
Fit and finish is superb. No noticable gaps anywhere. All the pins are flush.
The wood covers have a nice hand rubbed finish.
The knife is very solid feeling in hand.
I believe it is going to see a lot of pocket time.
Thank you again, Shawn, for your generosity.
Edit: 5K Qs posted a picture of his Sarge Barlow, on page 201, post number 4015, if anyone wants to see what they look like.
