The No ... it’s “My Turn” to use it tonight. ITS THE ONE WE ALWAYS REACH FOR We have one of these in our kitchen knife block. And it the one both Kelly and I, reach for before all of the others. There’s about 6 others so we have choices. It’s a stainless blade. It’s ground on “one side”, to a Chisel Edge. Then I ground in bold serrations. It cuts really well and holds uby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum

On the thread .... I really appreciate your attention to this thread. Hope you find your choice. For this Sale, since I have the Dies I’ve made; if you miss your item I will reproduce it for you. Thanks Friends Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
SOLD MARKED IN REDFriends. Can you give me a few minutes please. I’ll be brief and honest. I liked it better when I had ten times the energy. Honest! Liked it better when everything didn’t hurt. Here’s a good one ... I’ve never been afraid of heights. I worked on our Victorian Home for 35 years. Scampered around on the ladders, roof, and turrets ... like a squirrel.

Bunches of stuff ... You know I’ve made knives and jewelry to meet the requirements. Here you will see a few jewelry orders filled. Such as a Gentleman’s Wedding Ring, Ladies Cuffs and Pendants, and a brand new design of a narrow Cuff with a Dangle attached (this one a Sea Turtle).

Hi Kurt, I think I missed your comment. Sorry. I’m glad you like it. Each time I come across this die or the test stamping, I like it all over again. Thks for commenting. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I’m glad you like your Cuff. Glad it fits and looks good to you. Enjoy. Thank you very much for your support. It’s appreciated. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Here’s my approx 80+ year old Barlow. I bought it in an Antique Emporium, about 40 years ago. I used it in between me selling “My Barnes” knives, and finding a chance to make another for myself. You can compare the essential features. The orig. has steel liners and bolsters. Bone scales. A Carbon Steel Blade. No markings.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Grand Pap loved that Spine File Art, and the Fluted Bolsters. That’s “Bone Stag” that Barnes Carved and Dyed. Feels great to the hand. Looks just right. Nickel Liners and Brass bolsters. Beautiful smooth action. Put yourself in the story for $685 and $8 Priority Shipping. This one is the Prototype. 6 1/8” Open. It would be very much appreciated. We use PayPal too. Just ask and Iby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
NOW SOLD. Thank You! Please look thru the completed set of pics. I can’t just “Show” without “Explaining”. This little Barlow has a lot of nice features. I have an antique Barlow. Probably 80 ish years old. There was a time when the Barlow was Ubiquitous. If you had a pocketknife in your pocket, it was 8 out of 10 times going to be a Barlow. That’s a long bolster, Clip Pointby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
You are very welcome Bob. It looks better in person. More blended ... refined. It’s hard to photograph. Reflections look white, so that gives it an on/off look without tones. We’ll send ‘em out. Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Just to confirm the requested high contrast background. What do you think? Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I’ll darken the background for you if you’d like. I did that to mine (which is the one you saw and ordered from - but it’s personal taste). Hope you like them. Kurt ... yours is made to my favorite’s Cuff size. Bob, your wife’s is made to Kelly’s favorite Cuff Size. I’ve found that people also tolerate a surprising variety in size and still feel comfortable. Should work.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
You might know how you’d like to use it. I just wanted to make it some time back. The face of the image is 5/8” square. I like how the detail came out.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Kent, Having coffee break in shop. Glad I saw you. The Barlow has your straight edge and includes a rounded tip. I haven’t established that roll yet. Could be barely there or more significant. User choice. I really like “Mac” for my daily Carry. But he has a longer more slim tip. Pics: 1). Mac ... my 97 2). The Barlow raw tempered blade before I’ve established the edgeby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I said I’d be working on the Cuffs for Kurt and Bob. Here they are. I also have one additional Lady’s Cuff if someone would like. First Come. $85 plus $8 to ship in Priority Mail Box. Thanks Much! Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Ok. I’ll start. 1). Have you seen Barlow Folders before? If so; have you carried and used one? 2). Have you seen “Bone Stag” before? This was popular on pre-WW2 folders. One of the patterns of “Jigged Bone”, it requires a “KNACK” to pull it off. I’ve seen THE most awful Camel Bone butchered up poorly jigged and also dyed awful colors ... ohhoooohwww! You can probably telby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
The knife needs to be ASSEMBLED. This type is hand riveted together. The parts get a final polish and I engrave my logo on the blade. Final polish will give the “bone Stag” a warm glow. And enhance contrast on the spine. I have to cut the “choil” at the rear end of the edge. Have to sharpen the blade. Once I get to this 95% point in a build, the knife (in pictures) looks finished.by barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
NOW SOLD The Classic Barlow. It’s as necessary as the crust on an Apple Pie! They’ve just always been there. In the pocket of everyone from the Farmer to the Forest Ranger. Such a friendly and happy thing to lay eye and hand on. I have many many ideas for my Barlows. From Weekday to Sunday. From opening a package to working on the truck. I’ll have all types and prices.

Don’t tell the shop!!!!! Haha it’s been a bit out of sorts. But I’m insisting! Please stop back Garyby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks Bob! If you want a surprise, take note if she wears a Cuff you could measure. Or ... I could make it sized for Kelly. That would most likely be correct. I’m glad you like it. This one is 1 1/8” at widest point. I could get that 1/8” off there and narrow the wrist band sections if you wanted an optical slimming for a lady. I’ll send you Kelly’s email addy for PayPal ifby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I have planned to Anodize. Haven’t figured a cost. It has to be worth it. It’s a lot of fiddle and time watching. As well as proper temperatures and maintaining the chemicals. So I’ll think that thru, but don’t wait for that Bud. I can work the Cuff like this in the slots, I have to dedicate my life when I Anodize. I’ll prepare a strap and hammer texture and anneal it ... Thanksby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Kurt, Glad you like it. I appreciate it. That one is fitted to me. I’ll make you one. For the best fit, use a ribbon of paper. Put it around your wrist and overlap. Snip thru both pieces with scissors. Measure that and you have the true diameter of your wrist. When that is opened and shaped, that is the correct size for a Cuff, and allows for the proper slack. Just give me that measurby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
It’s not a Rifle. Not a Knife. Not a Chest on Chest dovetailed Cabinet. But, it’s all GLBARNES and I think it looks pretty nice peering out from under a shirt sleeve. What do you think? I really hope readers will give things like this some consideration. Barnes Cuffs start around $60 for a nice hammered textured Cuff, and run up thru about $150 for a real nicely detailed version, maybeby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Thanks Scott, Time to Glass bead the blade. For perspective: the glass beading does not save any time over my high polish blades. The prep needs to be the same. The processes fork at the point where I either go to my big compound embedded leather wheel, or go to the abrasive blast cabinet. The abrasive blast will just copy the scratch pattern of the last belt. You must get over 600 grit beby barnespneumatic - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Hi Scott Nice to see you. Yes, I will be Anodizing more. I have several more knives under build. Your logic is sound. It took some time to prepare, set up, and re-read the Anodizing Shop. I’ll have some interesting things soon. The blue knife has Co-priority with another project. I’m working pretty well in spite of. Thanks for commenting.
