Spear point Barlow in O1 with Narra wood covers.

Post by tknottsknives »

Hello all and thanks for looking.

Spear point Barlow in O1 with Narra wood covers (stabilized).
Etched nickel silver bolsters, pins and coin edged liners.

The pull on this is what I would call a medium, very smooth and easy to pinch open, especially with the easy open notch(see attached video), half stop, spring lays flat in all 3 positions.
Tip is centered. Blade hand sanded to 600 grit finish.

OAL: 6"
Closed 3.4"
Cutting Edge: 2.25"

I'm a huge fan of Barlow style knives and when I first started making slip joints, this was my goal. What do y'all think about the logo on the bolster? do you like it? Would you rather it be bare or something else?

As always questions, comments and critiques welcome.

Thank you. I like the logo too but I'm very biased :lol: so I wanted some unbiased opinions.

I love the logo!
Most Barlows are begging for something to adorn those big bolsters, and you answered!
It looks elegant, but not too "busy" or distracting. A good balance, I believe .

Thank you Reverand I appreciate the compliments. As I said above, I'm very biased lol so honest review from others help keep me on track. If I had only one knife I could make it would be this. I love a spear point Barlow with a long pull.
