Having trouble finding...

barlows with delrin scales. Anyone know of any decent production barlows with delrin? I can only seem to find the Russell barlows. I'm starting to lean more towards synthetics on my traditionals. Thanks, Dylan.

Utica/Kutmaster might still make one, but would be stainless steel.

Boker for many years still had a carbon steel/delrin barlow in their line - check the factory web site.

Colonial...maybe but I'm not sure.

This one has delrin scales:

The Camillus 551 had Delrin.

Camillus made Remington's from some years back. The older USA Schrade's had lots of offerings in synthetic scales. And many more. There is a mess of them on the Bay at any given time that can be had quite inexpensively. If I were you I'd go there and do a search or two.

Happy hunting,

Anthony

As sunnyd mentioned, you should still be able to find Schrade Barlows...especially in Ivory Delrin, made for scrimshaw/hot stamping...on eBay. Here is one example...

...some have artwork, some do not. Probably $25-$30.

Good hunting.

Too bad there's no yellow handled barlows around.

I thought the same thing today. Maybe some one will prove us wrong with a pic.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have pretty much given up buying and selling on ebay. The last two purchases that I made I ended up waiting for my knives for nearly a month and a half. Still waiting for an Imperial Barlow as a matter of fact that I ordered on March 10. But, I did find waxmanknifeworks.com carry a few Russel barlows in delrin and they take paypal. Just an example. I ordered four knives from them on a Saturday and received them on a Monday, USPS priority. I was surprised.

I have just been checking the local antique shops today with no luck. I have caught a few great buys from antique stores. Sometimes people don't know what they have. The yard sales will be starting soon too.

I ended up getting this Kutmaster and like it so far. I carried it as a third last week and performed very well. Edge holding was better than I expected and I like the more rounded bolsters. Thanks for all the advice guys. Still have to try a Boker. I like the one that you linked, Blues.
