Got 2 of the Red Stag Bone Carbon ones yesterday and they seem pretty perfect

[@BaxtersBlades]

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.

[@rasputinscastle]

OK, I've only seen the silly one. That makes sense that they're on the Carbon steel models.

[@littlemanscorner1718]

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

[@rasputinscastle]

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.

Nice Barlow video. I was wondering what’s with the shotgun shell knife I saw in your video a few days ago. Any brand info ?

[@rasputinscastle]

It was marked Federal. You can still find them at retailers. It's well built too.

[@timwhite4584]

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.

[@rasputinscastle]

@timwhite4584 thanks Tim and thanks for your service. The Saipan was old, but she could really get up and move. I was born in Miami.

If Bear and Son can constantly make knives like this they will profit from it. Collectors are starving for budget USA made slip joints.

[@rasputinscastle]

Definitely. I've been waiting years for them to step up.

[@jamesomalley4556]

If it only had a different style blade.

[@rasputinscastle]

I know. I definitely would have preferred a spear point. But these sheep's foot blades are wearing me down.

[@stuartgross5728]

I have about 15 Bear and Sons knives. About half have pretty good fit and finish. Some of the others are stinkers though.

[@rasputinscastle]

My experience is the same. What I'm wondering is why we feel differently about bear and son then Case.🙂
