Sweet Barlow. Excellent pick up!

Thanks, Todd! I’m really liking this one.

Best part of Bokers is you can actually buy them. View attachment 2044180

This! This is the great truth!

Some of my favorite Boker’s…

Again my only wish with Boker is that they will Make a slightly bigger Barlow someday. I love mine but would like a slightly bigger version option

Agreed completely, and perhaps with a second smaller blade, like the Case Copperhead idea but a Boker Barlow style.

I don't get why they are making single blade versions of stockman and barlow these days. Their quality is awesome but single blade? I'm not that zen.

Amazing action on these little Barlows. I wouldn’t mind seeing a larger Barlow from Boker either, but man what a bear trap that would be!

My absolute favorite Solingen made knife, incredible bone jigging that I just swoon over.

That is gorgeous Jeff. How is the action on the secondary blades? I ask because I have several 7474 stockmans and the action on the main is fantastic but the action on the secondary blades is disappointing.

Looking good.

Thanks Gordon, yeah, liked to see that one.

I’m a little late to the party here but figured I’d join in. I had this one with me yesterday fixing a little fence.

Looks great Bart, how’s it holding up in the field? Can it handle the work?

I really live that knife

Thanks, Todd. It’s done well, although I haven’t used it too hard, just cut open a few bags of salt for the cows.

Thanks! IMHO Boker has been producing some real stunners the last few years.

How is the action on the secondary blades?

Very consistent, with 5 pulls on all three (cam tangs, no half stops) and good snap. Not crazy strong closing snap like on some Queen/S&Ms, but solid.

Good to hear. Mine have very little snap to the open position but good snap when closing. I’m not afraid they are going to close in use or anything, it’s just they don’t have the satisfying positive snap.

Pair of coppers for the weekend.
