Providence Cutlery Co. Barlow

Post by Plas62 »

Here's a Providence Cutlery Co. shell handled Barlow with a razor style blade that I just finished in stag. I also made brass liners and nickle silver bolsters for it. The secondary blade was pitted pretty badly, so I just used the main blade.

Outstanding. I will be trying that sometime. I have the exact looking Barlow from Sabre Ireland I picked up a few weeks ago. You are just making my dreams about these knives seem possible. Thanks and great job.

Thanks fellows,

Jerry- I think hundred years from now (provided we're still around) people will still be collecting knives. Hopefully this one will be my great,great, great grandson's EDC, along with his GEC laser trapper.

Seriously though, the last few knives I've redone I started engraving my name and date on the inside of the scales, if you hold the knife at the right angle under a magnifying light you can just make it out without disassembling the knife.
