Barlow bargain day yesterday!

[Mort Canard]

PLC,
Great bunch of knives and a great find. I am curious about the Diamond Edge Imperial. Is it a solid bolster or sheet metal? All of the D-E Imperial Barlows I have seen have had sheet metal bolsters but it is hard to tell from your pic.

What he said.

 

[PCL]

They are sheet metal.

What a find. This is the essence of pocketknife collecting, finding them in shops and such.

 

[btmccutcheon]

Impressive find! Would love to stumble on a cache like that!

 

[Mort Canard]

They are sheet metal.

Best looking Imperial Diamond-Edge I have seen! Most have gaps between the bolster and the covers and a ragged edge where the metal is crimped to the scales.

That is a nice grouping of knives! Wish I had found them!

There was another bag of knives at the store but after looking those were the best.
