Sheepsfoot Barlow in O1 with Smooth Bone Covers

Post by tknottsknives »

Hello all and thanks for looking.

This one is the first finished of April, Sheepsfoot Barlow in O1 with Smooth Bourbon Bone covers.
Etched Nickel silver bolsters, pins and coin edged liners.

What are your thoughts? Do you like smooth bone or do you think all bone should be jigged?

The pull on this is what I would call a medium, The sheepsfoot makes it easy to pinch open,(See attached video), half stop, spring lays flat in all 3 positions and the tip is well centered.
Blade hand sanded to 600 grit finish.

OAL: 6"
Closed 3.45"
Cutting Edge: 2.35"
(this one is available, Private Message if interested)

(Questions, comments and feedback welcome.)

Thank you Sir. Im mostly a fan of smooth bone on Barlows, not sure why but everything else I prefer the jigging.

Thanks. How about jigged bone? yes or just smooth?

Thank you! This one carries nicely. I brought it up from the shop in my pocket and forgot where it was there (that could partly be old age too though lol)
