Haven't seen much discussion on the Beard bars.  Anyone have one? Which one? and how's it working out for you?

I bought their 20/10 and I'm liking it but it's a little short compared to the Tipton RT1 that I generally play. The ends are not quite as sharp but they are sharper than the Scheerhorn bars I have. I think I think I play cleaner with the Beard but pulloffs are not as easy for me at speed

Thanks for the reply Otbreso!

After using the Stevens bar for 30+ years, then the Dunlop 925, a brief flirtation with Shubb SP3 and the Lap Dawg -  I broke down and bought the Beard 1010!  It fits my hand good, has good weight and good tone.  The edges of the playing surface are a little sharper than I like and had some debris or chrome drip over or something that made the edge real rough on one end.  I was able to clean it up with some extra fine emery paper and it is totally exceptable right now.  Seeing you and I have the only two in existence we better hang on to them as they are bound to be collectors items!! LOL

I would love to try one some time, but I am happy with my scheerhorn stainless and my shubb GS1 right now.
