What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[rcs86]

From what I can see , that was a pretty good deal . But we see ONLY HALF of it . Really like Russells and the great history .

A whole bunch of stunners there What's the one in the upper right corner? Thats the lowest riding blade I've ever seen in a barlow.

Thanks, that one is a TSA Trestle Pine. Come to think of it I believe that it was my first barlow.

Nice collection, I was just getting ready to ask about the Trestle Pine also but Misplaced Hillbilly beat me to it.

Wow
That's a beauty
What a nice gift
For the folks at home, I looked up the tang stamp and it was only used in 1972. It will have its 50th birthday next year

That Barlow caught my eye. The bone is really amazing. Pretty solid knife too! You guys should have seen the gunk coming out of it when I first oiled it….

The action on the main blade is beyond awesome... super solid and snappy.
I oiled the joints, put a good edge on it, and it's serving pocket duty today... Love It!!!

Thanks, Harry. I have a few #25 Barlows, as well, but didn’t include one because I don’t have a single clip that would’ve matched the others (they’re all spearpoints).

The red and black Micarta is pretty nice.

With the new TV barlow released, I can join in this thread and show this one off.
