I came across these Barlow style razor knives but I don’t know anything about traditional knives. Looking for info on quality, collectibility, etc. Thanks for looking

Top knife is a Schat & Morgan
High quality.
Very collectable, even before Queen Cutlery (owner of the brand) shut down earlier this year.
Second looks like a German Bulldog, made in Solgien, Germany.
High quality, and collectable.
The 3rd might also be a German Bulldog.
All three would also make a good EDC user.

The "One Armed" blade was introduced during the late 1860's from what I understand.
 
I've heard them referred to as razors too. In fact, I believe Case stamps an R or RAZ on the tangs of these types of blades.

Not the only knife or pattern to go by different names.
Look at the Sunfish/Whaler/Elephant Toenail/British Rope Knife/Pocket Axe. :)
(Whatever you call it, it is a very practical EDC, as well.)

Ain't that the truth.:) I only posted my comment to help clarify that TexMac wasn't incorrect when he referred to them as "razor knives" in his original post.
