Great Eastern daddy barlows

[silenthunterstudios]

Just saw these on Collector Knives. Really like both. No idea which is which, I'm guessing that Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer never used a glow in the dark barlow. Any information?

The Sawyer Barlow is the fancy bolstered one on the left, and the Huckleberry boy's knife on the right with end cap.
These are 3-1/2" barlows, not daddy barlows, which are usually closer to 5" closed. Thanks go to waynorth for these.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the usual length of a 'grandaddy barlow' (these aren't terms that are used over here)?

I saw the Boys knife for sale but not the Barlows.

I believe they're usually 5" in length? But fear not, someone will be along shortly to correct me if that's wrong.

Also, to clarify the upcoming GEC offerings: the #15 Barlows (Sawyers) are Charlie's doing, the #15 Capped Jacks (Huckleberries) are GEC's, as further developed on the same frame.

I think the terms "daddy barlow" and "granddaddy barlow" are used interchangeably. Same thing.

That Barlow is really nice. There goes some more of my money.

I love grandaddy Barlows. They're just a straightforward pattern. With that being said I can't make up my mind between the #15 Sawyer Barlow or the older Ben Hogan #65. I'll probably wind up getting both over time, if possible. Still I love the constant surge of new knives that are being put out by GEC and their effort to get customers with different taste.

Sawcut and a long bolster...I like it.

If they make this pattern with a sheepsfoot/wharncliffe blade, or a 2 blade version with one as a secondary, I'll definitely buy one.

Im ok with the Spear tip....If it were clip I would be less inclined. Im with you on the Sheepsfoot or coping secondary. Im still getting two....lol!
