Hello all, showing off my latest build. This is my take on a spear point Barlow knife (in O1) with Narra wood covers (stabilized). The etched bolsters, pins and coined edge liners are all nickel silver.
What are your thoughts. Do you like the logo etched into the bolster? Prefer them bare or someting else?
You can see a video of the knife and action on my YouTube page (t knotts knives)
Thanks for looking. As always, question, comments and critiques welcome.

That’s a beautiful build. The Narra wood is a great choice — the grain really pops against the nickel silver bolsters.
To answer your question — I think the logo etched into the bolster works well here. It’s subtle enough that it doesn’t take away from the overall design but still gives it that maker’s mark identity. Some makers go too heavy on branding,
but yours feels just right.
The fit and finish on those covers looks really clean too. How do you like working with O1 for folders? I’ve mostly seen it used in fixed blades.
