Everyone seems to like these. I got the stainless bone stag, and I like it very much. I want a carbon one, however they all have that watch battery sheild in them. The white bone with coated black blade is calling me
I'd like it more if it was traditionally pinned. Not that I mind a modern slipjoint. It's just that I think it would look awesome traditionally pinned.
Where as i dont think it is the best Barlow ever. I believe it to be one of the best for the money! You have a good point about the walnut. It probably is not laminated as i mentioned. It looks really good. They did a fantastic job on this Daddy barlow. I bought the D2 and the stainless stag bone. I may have to get a few more. Though they are going fast, im sure they will make more. I do have a bear paw shield on my stag trapper that looks great! I agree they should have used that. But they put these silly ones on the Carbon steel.
The knife doctor mentioned that you served on the Saipan. I served onboard her from 91-93. Thanks for your service I retired from the Navy in 97 in Mayport Fla. it’s been my home since 93.
