Nice pattern. but I think that using the exact same handle material is redundant, I would like to see Natural Burl , and maby Green Bone. What do you think about the same handles again?? Keep it FRESH, Adog

I like stag and mammoth and bone, so it is appealing to me. But I also like variety, so if there were other options as well I'm sure people would enjoy them.

There are a couple dealers here on AAPK (Gary Kennedy and Plumbob). I'm sure they'll be posting them in their stores. Or you can message either of them to find out what the price will be.

They are really nice. Good pull and strong snap. Good centering. They were a great release.

These are the newest release coming up. The new Dixie Barlow knives. 50 pieces in Burnt Stag and 50 pieces in Mammoth Ivory, and these are the first ever released with a lambsfoot blade.
These are an exclusive release only through dealer Ole Kentucky Rob and the knives will be delivered to him at the Pigeon Forge knife show this coming weekend (March 18-20, 2022). See him there if you'd like to purchase one, or go to the DFKB website on the Napanoch dealer page for his contact info.

Another ridiculous knife.
It's a shame Daniels are wasting such superior quality on such stupid looking knives. Again.
By that I mean "blade" selection.
Please don't attack, this is just my opinion.

Yeah I understand, and not an attack, but understand these are SFO's being ordered by 1 dealer who is selling them out as fast as they are being made. So although they are not everyone's cup of tea, there is indeed a high demand for them.

You sir are correct. In the knife collection world there is a big difference in what people like. I have a buddy who collects castration knives. I wouldn't have one. I have over 200 Barlows and he doesn't like them.
