I picked it up on Ebay so I'm not quite sure what the story is with this one.

Looks like a well done repair. Ebay sellers are very good at omitting photos and facts, you never really know till you get it in hand.

I just received this beautiful MOP Remington. Its shiny and new looking all over. Turns out the blades wobble, and it was heavily cleaned to remove pits and patina, with a scotchbrite pad or something coarse, but after that they did a very thorough job of buffing it all out. They did a really good sharpening job too, Ive got the cut thumb to prove it. Im keeping it, the price was right. And the MOP is outstanding!

Historical trivia:
The tang stamps with UMC (Union Metallic Cartridge) suggest it was made during Alcohol Prohibition... 1920-1933. That time frame includes The Great Depression, American Women Won the Right to vote, and the Roaring Twenties.. when women started smoking, drinking, and wearing pants, in public. Remington used their weapons manufacturing facilities between WW1 and WW2, to make cutlery. They stopped making knives when we entered WW2 and went back into weapons production, which ended the Depression.

ps, sorry about all the missing photos, my bandwidth resets on the 24th, they should come back
testing picasa instead of photobucket: (seems to work.. woo hoo)

Here's all my Barlows...



The Spear Antique Yellow belongs to my 2-year-old son and the Single Spear in Rust Red belongs to my 5-year-old daughter.

Eye Witness single blade Barlow with 440c steel and ox horn scales. Single blade because it's thinner in the pocket.

 

[Jack Black]

Nice Taylor's Barlow :thumbup:

 

[Old Hunter]

Case Antique, Burnt Second-Cut jigged bone handles, mfg in 2010. I think a slightly larger size shield would have looked a little better - blade alignment is perfect. OH

I have wanted a Daddy Barlow for a while now but I didn't like the 5" handle so I made this one 4 1/2" and proportioned more like a regular Barlow. I tried to make it as traditional as possible with iron bolsters and liners. I did use D-2 for the blade and spring just because that it what I do best. It is my current edc.

Thanks for looking,
Gene

Really nice proportions, looks like a regular small Barlow, until you mention the dimensions. Great teardrop handle profile. Curious to see more detail of the bone, great color.

Choice quality, indeed. Premium yes. My old 72, Drake-well Queen.
Thanks to Jon Slider for encouraging me to post on this forum.
Crossing my fingers that it works.

If you don't recall, perhaps my little Goodell cutlery sheepsfoot will jog your memory.
Thanks again Jon.
Don't let Mr. Levine see it.

Gene, this is really an impressive knife:

Fantastic bone, four pins and good swell-end/teardrop. Great steel for this with an elegant Clip. I don't fancy the Grandaddy Barlow too much, too large! This scaled down 'Godfather' works a treat. Congratulations!

Going to try a Spear blade version by any chance?

Thanks, Will

 

[genewiseman]

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
Will, I hadn't thought of making a big Barlow with a spear point blade but I might give it a try when I get caught up on orders. I did make a regular Barlow with a spear point using old Remington bolsters. I posted photos a while back but here it is again.

Thanks a lot,
Gene

Modified Kutmaster with smooth Reindeer Stag.

Oooh!! Only just noticed this, fine long blade filling the handle and some nice nutty stuff for those handles, really turned out well.

Time to go into 'mass' production :thumbup:

Regarsd, Will

One from 34 years ago with a sheath I attempted long ago.

Quite lovely work on both barlows. I really like how you incorporated those Remington bolsters. Very nice blade shape, on both knives, as well.
