Charlow Barlow History

[NirreBosse]

I was researching variations in the style of saw cut, types of handle covers, and tube art, on the Charlows and put together a pictorial that may entertain some of us. Not a complete listing of every cover material or tube, but gives an idea of the timing and variations of the various runs. The quoted images are all from this thread http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1009441-What-Makes-a-Good-Traditional-Barlow/

The first run Charlows are tang stamped with the 12 as the last digits, they were all Spear Bladed.

A Charlow from 2013 with some of my fathers artwork scrimshawed into the yellow bone handles. Maybe my favorite and the one that encompasses the spirit of a Barlow best to me!

Posted when I was laid up with COVID, this personalized Barlow in the previous thread makes a worthy note to bump this thread for research purposes!! Thanks for posting that great Barlow Eads1999 !!!

No guessing with those two, they definitely belong. Relevant knife content…posted elsewhere a couple weeks back BUT I think Mr. CC’s personal execution on the BF86 is worthy of being called a Charlow!

I've been referencing this thread for a while and it's a great resource. I'm not sure why it isn't active but I thought I would post up some 2014 walnuts and maybe get it rolling again. Have a great day.

Great threesome right there! I have the same single clip and love it.

Just missing the ebony (Spear) on this fun 2016 SFO run. With a production count of six pieces, I may be contemplating this missing link in my final thoughts in life

Great set Alex! Those 2016s are hard to find. I hope you find the last one you are hunting.

Couple sawcut Sunday charlows from the history books (2012)

13 years goes by quickly. It seems we've been friends longer though. The "not a Farmers jack".

Here’s a couple of oldie PPP Charlow 15’s and a contemporary mod knife with some fancy paper micarta. I also have the amber sawcut single blade from this run…and I’m keeping my eyes peeled for the yellow sawcut

Coon fingering and chicken eyeing!!!

 

[waynorth]

Found this knife and bought it (back!!) at the April Oregon show, 2025!!
The second anniversary of the TC Barlow (born 2012) , in 2014!!


Red Soupbone, and a few in Brazilian Rosewood (now restricted) were the handles-du-jour!!!




That little pic of two candles was extracted from a woodblock print of my oldest's second birthday cake! The woodblock was carved and printed by Joanne!!
Both second birthdays had me very happy and exhilarated !!!
