Found this Remington daddy barlow with box and papers today.
Another daddy barlow to add to my quaint little collection of them
A 16th century French man said it even better! “ Man is born from a women’s womb, then spends the rest of his life trying to get back in!”You made this dream comes true .
One day I've heard a great french actor , Alain Delon, now an old man looking back his fantastic life and saying: " All his life a man remains the little children he has been ".
For me your Old Barlows are the symbol of this permanence.
Thank you for this (and for the rest )

Utica made good traditional Barlows! They made them for Schrade Cut Co at one time, for their own brand Kutmaster, and for Case!!

Hey Barrett! The Utica Kutmasters are barely 1/8" shorter than the #15 pattern that Bill made for me! But as you might see here, the Bolsters are beefier than Bill's and the blades are also wider. Bill fully blades his knives - nice and long, one of the many things I appreciate!Good looking Barlows, Charlie! What’s the closed length on them? Those look a little “thicker” (if that’s the right word) than, say, GEC’s #15 pattern. Maybe not quite as stumpy as the #25 Barlow, but somewhere between maybe?

The TC has a nice taper, more graceful than the Uticas.
I wanted proportions closer to old NYK Barlows, and that's
what I (we!) got!!
The Uticas are great in their own right, a more "rough and tumble" pattern if you will. They are thicker also!
Gosh, I love Barlows!!View attachment 1391882 View attachment 1391883 View attachment 1391885 View attachment 1391886 View attachment 1391887
Thanks, Barrett!!I think a lot of us are partial to the knives you produce, Charlie!
Here’s one.
