The 2nd original design from Austin Jackson, the Lake Champlain Barlow is named after the Essex-class carrier USS Lake Champlain CV-39. This mighty ship is the carrier Clarence Risner (founder of C. Risner Cutlery and Austin's Grandfather) served onboard during his time in the U.S. Navy. Built tough, just like the ship, the Lake Champlain Barlow features two different blade options and multiple different handle options.

This is a splendid, well built knife. The quality is flawless. I cannot imagine how it could be improved.
I've got many different versions of the Ohio River Jack and this is my first Lake Champlain Barlow. As expected, the fit, finish, and function are all flawless. Well centered. Snappy walk and talk. IMO the brightest shining star is the blade grind. It is one of the best grinds I've ever enjoyed on a production knife. Very nicely done! In fact, I liked this one so much that I've ordered another in a different blade/scale format to add to the collection. If you are on the fence, just get one. You will be very pleased.
I've completed my review of the clip point/camo carbon on YouTube - so would defer you there. But in short, this Lake Champlain model builds on everything good from the Ohio River Jack, and takes it to the next level with a deep hollow ground, a perfectly crispy (but not uncomfortable) spine, lots of cover options, a nicely blasted integral Ti bolster, and full-handed sizing. EXCELLENT!
