Here is a unique knife I was requested to build for a repeat customer. Premium blue/green mammoth ivory handles (pics don't show true colors), carbon fiber bolsters and a shadow rivet. Blade is flat ground satin finished L6 with a short pull(as is backspring) with a modest swedge. Poppin' snap, open and closed and jerks into the half stop position nicely. Liners are brass, pins are nickel, closed length is about 3 1/2". It's my standard 3 3/8" jack frame but had to make it a shade longer to allow enough handle/bolster material around the rivet to be strong and the obvious barlow length bolster.

Beautiful knife. You have a true talent. Is it just me, or does it remind anyone else of a Barlow? Just the shape, not materials used.

Wait a moment, is that an auto?

That was the aim

No, not an auto, be cool as all get out if it was

Unusual combination of materials but it works perfectly. Excellent work MM.

Yeah,it is most definitely a Barlow for the modern world. Always loved the old Barlow's too.

Question for MM- Did Boker,Eye,Hen & Rooster or any other older German companies ever make Barlows?
Love to have a Carl Schlieper (Eye) Barlow

...first a Trapper then a Barlow.
(carbon of course)

boker made barlows for sure with the tree logo on the bolster as well as henckels and others. I've only seen one schlieper barlow, I owned it. Was mint and from around the 40's before they were made for export from Germany to America a guy give me more for it than it was worth to me.
