I don't have a Barlow to share, Just a Barlow story...
My brother asked me to fix the rosewood handle, cracked, on his old, 1930's?, Barlow.
Wanting him to be impressed that I had salvaged grand dad's old knife, I spent hours on it.
I cleaned the old greasy knife, epoxied the handle, used Flitz and a tooth brush to remove the oxides, and sharpened it.
It looked barely used when finished.
When I returned it to him, I said something about grand dad and carrying his old knife.
He got weird look on his face and said that he picked it up for a dollar at a yard sale....
Back at'cha![]()
I really like these barlow circles so I had to do one with my little collection.
