Pimp Your Barlow

Post by orvet »

This started out as a plain Jane Camco Barlow: a good solid, functional working knife but about as vanilla as you can get.

I like the plain stainless steel bolsters because I can etch my logo on each bolster which IMO, jazzes is just a skosh.
Then I rehandled it with stabilized giraffe bone.
I am reasonably pleased with the result.

Hope y'all enjoy the pictures.

Wow Dale! That's a beaut! I really like those bolsters with the giraffe bone. Very classy!

Wow Dale, that looks great!

I would say very classy as opposed to pimped. The combo of materials is right on. The striations in the giraffe bone really make the whole thing pop.

Excellent work my friend!

Thanks Glenn, I was thinking of that show, Pimp My Ride, but I am glad it has a classy look to it instead of pimpish.
I guess pimping would be more like carved MOP with inlaid rhinestones. :lol:
