    Modern Barlow

    I have been wanting to make this for some time now. It is made off of an old Keen Kutter pattern. The blades are D-2, the scales are G-10, and the bolsters are lightning strike carbon fiber. Thanks for looking, Gene

    Daddy Barlow

    I like Daddy Barlows but I think most of them are too long and skinny. I made this one 4 1/2" closed instead of 5" and proportioned it more like a regular Barlow.

On G-10 I use a slack belt to 220 grit and then hand sand to 320-400 grit and lightly finish with steel wool.
