A.G. "Barney" Barnes, M.S., Moran Style Upswept Hunter, Curly Maple
$1,595.00
Aubrey G. Barnes was a friend, neighbor, and student of Bill Moran for 45 years, and he provided the inspiration for A.G. to become a knifemaker. He worked for AT&T Communications for 31 years. He began making knives part-time about 1982 as a hobby and continued until he retired from AT&T in 1991. Along the way he was able to attend the first class at the ABS School of Bladesmithing in 1988 that was taught by Bill Moran and Jerry Fisk. In 1992 he became a full time knifemaker. His work consists of fixed blades, hunters, camp knives, bowies, and fighters, all with the Moran influence. He has been a regular at the Blade Show in Atlanta since 1993, and will continue until "my anvil rings for the last time". His work has been published in Knife World, Blade Magazine, Knives Illustrated, Knives Annual, the cover of Knives ’97, The Wonder of the Blade, Art of the Knife, and magazines in France and Brazil.
The knife comes with the original heavy leather belt sheath with keeper strap, also made by A.G. Barnes. A.G.'s knives are difficult to find and / or acquire in the secondary market. This hunter is a beautiful example of his work, and would be as comfortable (and functional) in the field, as it would be in any collection.
