Oh, my! What a nice Barlow! That sweet piece of stag is artfully beveled to the bolster. What hand work! But forgive me, my old eyes can't make out the tang stamp. What does it read?

Iman, I love the wavy jigging pattern. great appeal.

Oh my! What a wonderful Barlow! That sweet piece of stag is artfully beveled to the bolster. Lovely handiwork there. Sorry, brother, but these old eyes can't make out the tang stamp--what does it read?

Thanks it's a Hartshead Barlow SFO for Jack Black by A Wright in Sheffield.

Looking like my beloved Mols, after a long morning of treeing bushy tails for me. Nothing like hunting over a good dog. Nothing.

You said it! We just got in from a weekend camping/hunting trip ... both dog tired

It started out with a California-legal blade but I did a blade swap.

Now they all have different blades.

Thanks G.D. .... But I'm a lot worse for the wear than 'Ol Zeus .... We've been going for days now walking them there 'Ol hills ... I'm a done tuckered out!

This has been finding it's way in my pocket a lot lately.

Thanks Dog.

It was fun taking them apart but what really impressed me was putting them back together. All three knives went back together with perfect action, zero blade play, and centered blades. I thought for sure I would have an off centered blade or two but they are all perfect even after the blade swap. I didn’t make any adjustments either. Just reassembled them with different blades.

That made me an even bigger Hogue fan than I already was.

Did I see you say Quail hunting? Bagged a bunch of birds I bet. Pointer like yours would run me into the ground. Fortunately for me, my little Fiest Dog was a close worker as she got older. Saved my legs quite a bit. Surprisingly, she treed just as many Squirrels within 50 yards as she did when she was younger, and ranged out much farther.

My dog is basically what we call in the scientific world a "perpetual motion machine*"... He never wants to stop... no matter how tired I am, or if I am trying to relax and have a beer or see what is going on in the world of AAPK.... etc... etc...


*Perpetual motion is the motion of bodies that continues forever in an unperturbed system.

And this is, I presume, your “quail knife?” lol. The new Benchmade “Covert,Gut-Spitter, Bird And Trout?”

Thanks to all posters. Classy carries, all.
Bringing out this old boy today…
Beat to hell, but still works great. And makes me wonder about the person(s) who bought it, and originally carried it every day…
