The basic Grenadill Wood Boker barlow has been in the pocket today, they’ve got a great snap and a slicey little blade

Nice knife 6Strings - reminds me a lot of this Joseph Rodgers, which is a really nice little barlow.

Thanks Todd, still trying to be creative with the shots.

These Rodgers look very similar size wise, I don’t have one personally but would like to try one for sure.

It’s gorgeous. I somehow don’t have a Robeson yet but I’m on the hunt. This Barlow is one of my favs. Similar looking old red sawcut scales

Wow fooled me.. this is also gorgeous. I somehow do t have a Robeson yet but I’m on the hunt.. this reminds me of the old red sawcut on my GEC 77 Barlow. Apparently the pic file is too big to post.

Well it took awhile, but it's here.

A Boker Solingen barlow featuring bog oak covers and stainless (heck yes) damascus in the "Ripple" pattern, forged by Chad Nichols! One of five hundred made. They really went all out on this one! Fit and finish is as good as it gets, with no gaps to be found anywhere.

Forgive the lilac tree reflections and blurriness (caused by my dog running around on the deck, lol), it was too pretty outside not to use some natural light.

I don't know how well you'll be able to see it, but to give you an example of Boker going all out on this guy... The backspring has a true mirror polish. I've not seen that on any of my other Solingen made Boker barlows. Pretty cool!

Wonderful strawberry Barlow, Gus!

Looks like you scored on that one. Sweet-looking Boker.

Wow, that thing is gorgeous! You sir, are a bad bad influence!

I had high expectations because of the cost, and Boker definitely came through. Receiving this today got me excited for the upcoming Boker barlows all over again.

Haha, I think we've gotta blame Boker at this point. They are killing it lately!

If you end up snagging one of these, I don't think you'll regret it. The Chad Nichols stainless damascus is what really sold me... That guy is a wizard with steel!
