i guess you could say that im somewhat new to traditional knives. ive always had them and knew alot about them, bu havent been much of a user. ive been more attracted to the "normal" knives. the ones with 1 blade, and a clip. recently, ive had to use something else for a knife, (my cold steel mini AK-47 went for a road trip on repairs.) so, i chose my Rough Rider barlow. been around 1-2 weeks now. im loving every minute of it. im getting into the traditional knives. i like the look, the feel, the history, and therefore. i wanna see your barlows!
ill get the ball rolling

No problem, Ed. That thread has so many good pictures, it's worth having it linked here twice.:D

Folks, ashamedly I only have the one Barlow, and a very cool and special knife. Please forgive the "used before" photo, here is my '64 Red Bone Case, born the same year as me.
Hopefully there is lots of room and time for my collection to grow, and I can promise there will more Barlows, next will be a Dan Burke Queen Barlow if I manage to get hold of one, anyhow....here is my sweetheart of a Barlow, hope you like it...
The scratches you see on the Clip are actually so slight and are factory rub, and the lighting while taking photo's makes them stand out, in "real" life you can hardly see them.
Again...such massive thanks to my Bladeforum friend for this wonderful lifetime gift, just incredible.

I love Barlows. Maybe because it was my first knife when I was about 10 years old my neighbor who was like a Grandpa to me bought me one from the hardware store. I wish I still had that knife. Here's mine.
