very interesting, rare blade-shape !
Please, some questions: half-stop ? How thick is the blade near the bolster ? How thick is the handle in the middle ? is 1084-steel stainless ?
Thank you.
Stefan
 
Stefan, Knife has a solid half stop, thickness of blade .115, Handle in middle .530. 1084 is a high carbon steel.

Hi Ray, nice work, I tabled next to you at the Baltimore show and I was honored to meet you. I have to say your workmanship is A+ and super clean.

Ray, thank you for yor fast and complete answer :thumbup: - I am a Barlow-fan, but I am not so much a fan of high-carbon-steel-blades :( - sorry . But I really like the blade-shape, :) as I said before .
Stefan
 
i think this is a most attactive knife and a most reasonable price.
stefan, why do you say "rare blade shape" ? to me it looks like a clip blade usually does. roland
 
I have a piece like this that I carry most days. They are the old time pattern that was used way back when. These are not only useful , but very well made by a fine Master Smith. Just getting a chance to puchase these does not come often let alone the Christmas present price.
 
Stefan, i see what you mean with tang, i like the curve from the kick to the bolster. but what do you see as different about the spine ? the more i look at this knife, the more i want it. dangerous. roland
 
I love this knife! The barlow is my favorite style and this knife at this price is a crazy good deal. If only I had the cash. I am sure it will be gone long before I can come up with the money.

Ray what is the chance of seeing another one of these in the future? Or Of me being able to order one like this in the future?
Thanks Will
 
Roland, what I mean, that the curve of the spine is going down to the tip very "far" ( or deep) and I think - like FWO - that this makes the blade very useful. - Stefan
 
Will, Im making a few folders again. Youre best chance of getting one is to get on my mailing list. I just had an article in Feb. Knives Illustrated and Im almost booked for the year for orders.

Speaking of which, my name should be coming up pretty soon. :cool:

Beautiful knife, Ray. :thumbup:
 
Ray, when you get a minute, could you email me a copy of that Feb. Knives Illustrated article you did? If it's not published, I promise I will keep it confidential. (My other business is freelance copywriting and editing, and I've been doing that to support my household for the last 5.5 years. I run True Talent Media, LLC.) Reason I want it is, it would be nice to have an article from the knife-maker I'm buying this new folder from! :)
 
Tam,
I cant copy it and send it to you because of copy right infringment. but it is the Feb.issue and you should be able to get it at a book store or a place that sells magazines.
Ray
 
Hi Ray,
Love the knife, definitely a looker! quick question... Is that a crack on the jigged white bone slab near the top? I'm pretty sure it's just superficial, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
