What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

what is that handsome knife?

 

Beautiful Barlow. I’ve never seen this handle shape before, I love it.

 

Hi, It's a Barlow from Cosimo De Benedetto from Rome :

Been a good couple weeks for acquiring pre 1970 Case red bones.

 

3 very nice examples John Case sure had pretty red bone back in those days !

 

Nice finds!

 

Thanks Rob, they sure did, some of the best bone of all time in my opinion.

 

Bulldog barlow, one in stag and the other in ram's horn.

 

A beautiful and rare pair.

Lambfoot Barlow

 

this ones pretty good

 

How is it possible that such a bouquet of flowers is not produces any more

Ditto on the above. Very nice knives. Makes me wonder though if it was rebladed? Or a factory knife? Anyone know? @Augie ?

 

Thanks Eveled, it's factory, the pattern number is 62009R, R is for razor. I have a 10 dot in the collection also, picture of both that also shows where Case changed the pen blade to behind the main, this occurs right before the 10 dot from what I have observed.

 

Very cool! Thank you.
