We missed seeing you Charlie, but you were there in our minds. Many people asked about you.

You are very kind to report that Travis! I missed you all in the Rendezvous terribly!!!
I'll be there next year for sure, as long as the creek don't rise!!

My very first Barlow of yours from Bob @ Old Hundred Collectibles. Love the wood on these.

2025 single blade 77 Barlow SFA with the 2016 blade which means it has great walk and talk like all of the 2016 77’s.

Thanks for the view, Tim! I agree, that Osage looks great on those knives!! You can thank Lyle for that !!!

These were actually the Yellowheart Wood. Can't remember the story about why they used this wood, but maybe ran out of something else???
