Looks great!
That model is gonna be my first. I've essentially given up on finding an affordable sheepsfoot Barlow. It seems that people want a lot more for Barlows with sheepsfoot blades than they do clip or spear-point blades--even if it's a cheap Kutmaster. A family friend gave me one she found at an estate sale in rough shape, but so far, that's about it. There's a reason my existing selection is predominately Imperial shell-handle. My Queen and Boker Barlows were gifts, and that's the only reason I would've been able to afford the things.
The $40 price is much cheaper, D2 is great for my uses, and I love the bone. Besides, at Bear prices, you're getting a knife made more in line like a GEC.
