What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Thank you Charlie for a great knife and a cool hat! :cool:
Thanks Paul for, um, just thanks! :D
 
I'm basically a Barlow collector, it's hard to find vintage Barlows in high condition, most were heavily used, so I was pretty stoked when I pulled this mint unused Camillus 4 line Tip Top out of the padded envelope. I swear I cleaned some original shipping oil off the metal. Has beautiful saw cut ebony handles.

That is a stellar looking knife - I love the tang stamps, classic stuff.

Wow, awesome score :thumbsup:
I used to spend many weekends at my local flea market hunting for Barlows; browsed through at least a hundred over the years and never found one that wasn’t “sharpened” on a grinder or sidewalk with very little blade left.

idk if I showed it in those videos, I plan to in the longer video, but they also had a little surprise on the bottom of the tube. Idk if the ones sold through dealers will also (these were from the factory):

Tell us how you really feel, Bill :eek:

I didn’t really get the story on why these were included but I’m guessing it means these are the “no BS barlow”
