Case Barlow is back

[pat9198]

I just got an email advertising two new case Barlows. Is it out of the vault? Will there be more cover options? I don’t know, but it’s exciting!

I missed out on some of these when they came outta the vault in 2019.

I will not make that mistake again.

Well, that's interesting. Wouldn't the new vault knife be for 2024? Are they being moved from vault back to catalog?

 

[Spillproof]

I'm REALLY hoping that they make some with stag.

It would appear that way, to me at least. Otherwise it kind of takes away from the whole idea of the vault.

They're both on back order/out of stock.

Maybe they are going to offer the Barlow as a standard pattern going forward. No more vault. If so, I hope they have more offerings them in CS.

Interesting! I enjoy a good Barlow!

I just saw this email come out, too, and I was intrigued. I always talk myself out of them because, as a matter of personal taste, I feel like the clip blade is too chunky. Part of me always thought it would be a meaningful knife to add to the collection of users.

I also hope they have some in carbon steel. I’ve been carrying a lot of stainless knives, so I need some more carbon in my life. I passed on them last time around because I thought it looked like too many pins, but I could probably get past it this time.

I have always found the Case Barlow clip blade very attractive.

And yes, here is to hoping Case offers some in stag. Barlow and stag go together like coffee and chocolate. Made for one another.

I'm not sure about the shield on the purple one, but I just ordered both barlows. Hopefully the wait is brief.

1 thing I don't like, I wish they would take actual photos of the new knives, and not just take a basic frame/blade setup and photoshop on different handles onto it. Same with the blade etch. I suppose if they aren't released yet, that may be the reason. But I've noticed this happens a lot with Case.

I’ve always like the Barlow. Currently only one. If the have a good selection of colors I just might grab one or more.

Heck I’m not sure why but I usually only carry my Barlow in the Fall.

I mean, having a seasonal preference for a style is pretty awesome. Fall feels grandfather-ish to me, and the Barlow is a perfect grandpa knife imho.

Where are folks putting in orders for these?

Now, make one with a bottle opener...

I ordered mine from a non-supporting vendor. It’s a herding farmer in the hills of Missouri if that helps.

In the text above the barnboard red bone series, it says "including several that just re-entered production".

Grrrrrr… back ordered! You savages!
