[@WVKNIFEGUY]

Awesome knife, but it's even better when there's a sentimental attachment as well. I'm happy for you and kudos to Matt for the kind gesture.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

100% agree. Thanks very much, WV. Slippy is a great dude.

[@bdh3949]

That's a beautiful knife, so glad Ashley took care of it. When you have something so special why not an ideal one.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very true, BD. It's pretty well perfect to me.

[@jasonbeecher509]

That's an awesome gift from a wonderful friend. Slippy is a very important member of the community just like you. Enjoy your day guys

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very nice of you to say, Jason. We appreciate your support.

[@MB_EDC]

Beautiful knife. A symbol of the great friendship that you to have...

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks I appreciate it, MB.

[@astaschak]

Those are the best knives ever. I've got a couple with sentimental stories that I will treasure till the day I'm gone. I also hate them because I can't or won't carry them in fear of losing or damaging it. But at the same time that ensures they stay pristine or in the condition I got them for the rest of my days and I won't ever regret using it either.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A very meaningful knife for me. I'm okay not carrying it. I've got a few others that can fill that role. Thanks, Swoop.

[@jamesomalley4556]

Now that is a great slip joint knife .

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Very much appreciated, James.

[@garylyman4922]

That’s a beautiful piece. That’s something I would never carry. Just admire from time to time. Enjoy your beautiful gift from Matt.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Good to know there are others that understand this. Thanks, Gary.

[@IchibanOyabun]

Absolutely gorgeous knife! I don’t blame you for cherishing that knife! It has a story behind it now! It too would probably be my favorite knife! ❤️ An Awesome gift from an amazing friend!

[@knifetrain3118]

Beautifully hand crafted knife with an even better story. Very nice!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, KT . Glad you enjoyed the story.

[@TheKnifeRaven]

Beautiful piece of cutlery, friend. I can understand the sentimental value it must have! Cheers, as always!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thank you very much, KnifeRaven. It's a very special piece for me.

[@felinebline7154]

Beautiful and meaningful

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

100% accurate on both counts. Thanks for listening to me ramble, Rick.

[@traviswagner3656]

That knife is gorgeous.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks so very much, Travis. Have a great weekend.

[@ianrankin1293]

Easy to see why that would be your favourite knife!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, Ian. It's stunning! So very grateful to Slippy.

[@iamcoveredinbees]

I was going to say it must be really hard to choose a favourite knife when you have so many, but then you started telling the story behind this knife and it all made sense. A knife with a good story or some form of sentimentality is always going to feel special. It is a truly beautiful knife, as well. Lovely video, TK 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Always hard to claim a favorite, but the story behind it really gives a major boost to an already fantastic knife.. Thanks for watching, Bees.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Paddy always talks about how great Harrison is. I’d love to get one sometime.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

They do some incredible custom work. Their standard fare is no slouch either. Thanks, Brandon.

[@radar468]

One heck of a knife from a friend!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It certainly is, Radar. Thank you!

[@elanrhys3178]

What a beautiful symbol of your friendship!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

100% Elan. Thanks for saying so.

[@TucoDog-ho6fw]

Good friends are hard to find. I’ve known that for around 60 years. That’s a beauty. A stunning traditional. 👍🏻

[@singingtoad]

That's a absolutely stunning knife and I love the story of friendship behind it. Also love to hear that the manufacturer took care of the issue with it. 😊👍 I honestly don't know if I truly have one favourite pocket knife?!! 🤔 I'd have to maybe narrow it down to about 5 or 6, tbh. 🙏 Anyway, thanks very much for sharing, take care my friend and Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks so much for taking a look, Dave. I know it's hard to pick a favorite, but between the excellence of the knife and the extra sentimentality it's an easy choice for me.

[@GunSlingerCal]

Beautiful knife, John. That's a really hard choice for me. It'd take me all day to decide that, haha. Thanks for sharing yours!

[@watchcityknives]

Yes but not as nice as my custom Case Barlow dropped my video yesterday.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, Cal. Probably not an easy choice for many, but this one is particularly special.

[@cheesymoonworkshop]

Great knife. Great gift. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you enjoyed the story behind it. Thanks, Cheesy.

[@madtownangler]

Very pretty knife. I'm a user, not a collector and all these years of using knives I still have not gotten a Barlow type knife. There is always something I end up getting first when I see knives. I think that my next knife will have to be a Barlow type knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I think it's time Madtown. Find one to enjoy. Thanks.

[@Pocket_EDC]

Great looking nice with a great story.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thank you kindly, Pocket_EDC. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@propblast82nd]

That’s really nice , living in the dry Southwest I give all mine a good wipe down with some mineral oil.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

They need their moisture for sure. Thanks, Prop.

[@fredwilley3886]

It is a handsome knife and looks well made. I would like to have one.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, Fred. A very handsome piece indeed.

[@larrymackerethjr.3812]

That is a beauty. Thank you

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you enjoyed the look at this gem. Thanks, Larry

[@OzarksBoy417Knives]

That’s a beautiful knife. I just got an Arther Wright & Son Barlow with a wharncliff blade, and rosewood covers that I’ll be doing a review on soon. At first look I love it. Thanks for showing yours, and God bless.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Ozarks. AW&S make some excellent knives.

[@Theknifenutbige]

Man that's a great looking knife

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks BigE, happy to hear you liked it.

[@gvanderweele2334]

The covers are BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the spear point, a smaller version of a barehead tribal lock I enjoy in my pocket.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thank you, G.

[@willwilson2502]

WOW just WOW!! I’d get another so I’d have a user and a draw queen 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I've got another English model I think I'll make a user. Thanks. Will (Willie).

[@kirbycreekmo]

Great knife, better story behind it. Most Excellent!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a very special one for me. Thanks for the support, Mo

[@terrillschneider3778]

Beautiful I have to get one I love a big spearpoint blade on a Barlow

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a great look, Terrill. Not nearly enough of that combination out there.

[@terrillschneider3778]

@@ThriftyKaniffy I have a Case Sawcut Green Bone with a Spear and I love it

[@watchcityknives]

That’s absolutely beautiful but it Looks almost as nice as my Custom Case Barlow made by Elegant Pebble Jewelry i just dropped the video yesterday, . Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you found one you really like. Thanks for having a look.

[@BaxtersBlades]

Great looking Ashley!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I appreciate that, Andrew.

[@Jayhgee57]

Beautiful knife! I have a few A.Wright and son Barlows.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I would encourage everyone to try at least one and support our British brothers.

[@Jayhgee57]

Michael May and Taylors Eye Witness are also very nice.​@@ThriftyKaniffy

[@HandMade2018]

That’s a Beautiful Knife !! I Just Got one NOT A CUSTOM from AAPK James & Company a cheap one in rosewood Handles Warncliffe Blade I Love it Better get your fingers out the way when closing it ! Anyways Thank You So much !!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes the walk n talk is very strong. I'm glad you ordered yourself one. Take care, HandMade.

[@Stans_Collectors_Universe]

Beautiful knife, to bad it is so delicate that you really can't use it. O'heck what am I saying I have a few safe Queens too. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much Stan, nothing wrong with only lightly using or putting a few away. We don't all wear a tuxedo everyday either.

[@Orlosthedruid]

Funny. Your "Favorite" knife is darn near my Grail knife. I want stag over anything else. Id like either a bail or a thong hole for lanyard, prefer lanyard. I love a deep, nickle silver bolster, like a Barlow, and I would love to see 2 rings that are rope cut. Same blade, no difference, I love a Spear point. If mine had an additional pen blade with opposing nail knicks, I wouldnt be mad. Be nice if I could ever find that.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Not something I've ever seen, Orlos. Something that'd likely have to be custom made or designed.

[@MikeyNewman1974]

Wonderful knife, lovely video....... friendships

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, Mikey. Friendship can be great.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

That is a real jaw dropper!!!! Super sweet!!!👊🏻💯

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, H4H! She's a beauty.
