Was reading Primble's Old John Primble Knives & Display Case thread and decided I wanted a Primble Barlow. My requirements were:
1. Wanted one from MY childhood so the 1968 to 1986 fit the bill perfectly. Belnkap Inc. Stamp.
2. Wanted a user. Meaning it will be in my pocket so no pristine models that I would scratch. Didn't mind honest wear.
Really liked the delrin scales on this one over all the ones I have seen so I bought it. Going to use it for every day carry so I am not worried about the worn blades. From what I read this is made by Boker.
The pen blade is in good shape, the main blade looks like it saw some use with a rounded tip and the slight curve in the middle
The blades snap great after a good 000 steel wool scrub (didn't take the dark spots off though) and then a WD 40 soak and dry and 30 seconds on my paper wheels and both blades are shaving hair.
Nothing fancy just a pocket carry to go with my Buck 110

We miss you mate
That is a nice example that you found, some of those barlows that I have come across were shadows of their original form...
