I had the pleasure of meeting Doug for the first time at the Seattle show this year. This sweet little guy was on his table. My dad really wanted it but never pulled the trigger, so we picked it up after the show. Just gave it to him for fathers day, so I can post the pics now. :)
It has a great damascus blade, bolsters and spacers. The amber stag is just, well, superb.
I made a nice little bison hide pocket sheath for it.

I love it. Ben, you're a man after my own heart.

A beauty for sure!
I like the Barlow pattern, I acquired a Barlow that was Bill Moran's

That's a beauty, Ben. Doug is one of the good ones. The Barlow pattern is about my favorite, I have one in my pocket at least part of every day.

Beautiful knife. Your dad should be proud. :thumbsup:
Really Nice! Lucky Dad!

I got to fondle that one-your dad has good taste. :)
Doug is such a great guy, I was really happy to finally get to meet him (and you too Ben). Bet your dad was all kinds of happy with that knife and sheath package. Thanks for posting it up.

Very nice!! I have a soft spot for Barlow style knives. That's all I've carried for years
Some great guys Jung here :clapper:
WOW! I keep coming back to look at this beauty. A work of art!
You did very well for your Dad, Ben.
I want to reach thur my computer screen and just fondle it, you Dad is a lucky man for a few reasons...
Super gift for fathers day mister Ben. That's one cool folder Doug made.
