Traditional Barlow and Friend
The knife is a Barlow pattern made by Birdvis (Nick Timpson). Covers are crosscut Westinghouse Micarta. The Friend you’re familiar with.


Traditional Barlow pattern by a relatively recent maker named Nick Timpson. I believe his books are closed and I’ve only seen him use micarta, no wood. There are number of makers that produce slipjoints in wood. Depending on the maker, plan on spending at least $400. You might want to check out Kabisch knives. He’s a newer maker so prices are at the lower end. Uses a lot of materials including figured wood.
