Will do. I am a fool for quality, hand made traditionals.

If you end up not agreeing with her, let me know. I'd love to adopt her. That run looked so good. Supposed to be a pretty stiff pull, a real worker's barlow.MichaelScott wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 11:08 am
Great Eastern Cutlery #25 Barlow, OD Micarta scale covers. To me, this is one of the classic American traditional pocket knives. I am 76 and can dimly remember Barlow’s being carried by adults in my youth. This particular run was done in 2017 so I missed out on them, as did most Great Eastern Cutlery afis. But, I finally found one at a decent price. Should be here next week.

Re: What "others" are in the mail?
Knivesandbooks, will certainly do.
Today I discovered that the same seller had one more, so I bought it too. Like it or not, I seem to be a knife nut collector at heart. Right now restricted to Spyderco and Great Eastern Cutlery.

That looks like an amazing monster of a piece of edged tool. When you do receive it, can you give us a short review of how you like the feel and how it looks to you from your perspective? That would be greatly appreciated.

There is a Benchmade Anthem 781 in bound to my PO Box. I've been wanting another integral handle knife since I got the Nirvana.
The Paysan looks awesome and I will get it some day, though I do hope Spyderco does a "mono-frame" with a 3 inch range blade eventually.

I found a good deal on it. Wanted to see what all the hype was about. XM-24. Seller's pictures.

The XM-24 that I had was a Wharnie. And, the action was decent. Build quality just outstanding.
Now, the Gen 6 models are just outstanding both ways imo.
That's s really nice XM-24 you have. Congratz man

Is the detent any better on the Gen. 6's? The super weak detent on my nonflipper gen 5 xm18 turned me off. It was one if the weakest detents I've used.

Imo, it's just night and day difference between Gen6 and all other gens.knivesandbooks wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 3:33 pmIs the detent any better on the Gen. 6's? The super weak detent on my nonflipper gen 5 xm18 turned me off. It was one if the weakest detents I've used.
The Gen 6 models I've had have been utterly perfect imo.
But, that isn't to say that there aren't some very nice gen5 and below models out there too.
Re: What "others" are in the mail?
My latest Mail Order Bride should arrive next week. I hope she brings the friggin knife we agreed to in our nuptials. I specified a Para 3 sprint otherwise it's annulment and possibly an attack on her village.
Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
