Help me find a good Barlow

If you like it, then it's a GREAT buy. :)
I carry my Imperial Barlow at least as much as I carry my Case Barlow.
I often wonder how many of those old Imperial Barlows were a Kids' first pocket knife?

Well I don't know if I like it since I only seen it in pictures. Might be forced to buy a few like I have with the Stockman pattern...

Once while out and about with my Dad, who has rode motorcycles since before I was born btw, when I seen the ugliest chopper at a gas station. I mean ugly color combinations, ugly fenders,weird shaped gas tank,I mean this thing almost made those OCC guys look tame. So I told my Dad "That has got to be the ugliest bike I've ever seen,aint nothing on it looks right" to which my Dad replies " By God he dont ride it for YOU does he?" I learned two valuable lessons, 1: never devalue anything someone else puts value on
2:It doesn't matter what others think as long as the things you have bring you enjoyment.

Lovely story indeed.
And I do agree.

Now I got myself a Imperial Barlow. It has the cheapest feeling of all my slipjoints but I really like it. It is sort of a good working, well made kind of vintage feel to it. A no frills kind of knife. I really wonder when it was made, it says Providence RI on the blade.

Regards Erik
