One arm patterns with the cut out at the tip the blade. Useful or silly?

It was named after Charlies uncle who lost an arm. There are minor tweeks in each usage.
Sorry I have made a mistake, my Bad. It was Charlies Father in law. :D
Best regards

No one said you couldn't call it "pink underpants" if you want to. This is a discussion forum so there's no need to get your panties in a bunch for me merely stating fact and taking it as a personal attack (like Mark personally attacked me for no apparent reason)

Read it again and tell me you aren't sniffing too much glue!

^^ Haha, good one Mark. So original. I suggest you focus on coming up with more new and original interesting Barlow designs, since reading comprehension is clearly not your strong suit.

Uh, it was his father-in-law. Thanks for honoring Charlie and his father-in-law by totally doing a hack job on the FACTS.
 
Respectful discussion is what works in this sub-forum. Keep the school yard antics out of here. If you can't play nice here, play somewhere else. Trolling WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

If you have questions about what is expected, read the guidelines or PM or email Frank or me. Thanks.
 
I will say that the #15 one arm works well, but man that horn can get a bit uncomfortable if the knife isn't wrapped in your pocket.
 
I carry mine horn down in my watch pocket. Works well that way. I'd be afraid to carry it unsheathed in a front pocket.
 
They'll eat a hole in your pocket pretty quickly. I carry mine in the old "sheath" that Charlie sent with the knife.

Best regards

I got a GEC slip I carry mine in too. I tried using a handkerchief for a bit but the horn kept evading the folds and would lie in wait for a good jab.
 
I love reading the history that Charlie details on the tubes of each one of his knives. :D:D:D

Going back to the 1950's, circa 1948 to 1959, this was Robeson's contribution to the genre.

Does the one hand blade actually work one handed? Looks like it wouldn't help in the slightest.


Pretty bone though.
 
Figure this thread deserves a little bumpsky.

Queen #19:



Boker and Russell-branded Barlows made by Boker:



The Queen is trivial to open catching on the seam of a jeans pocket. I imagine it would shred many thinner materials, though. :D
 
I owned one of these years ago prior to becoming obsessed with knives. I don't remember the brand and had no idea what the blade shape was for and I have never had any desire for one since until this thread and now I think I'll get one to check it out. ( My knife ODC has kicked in. ) :D
 
Remington RB47

I picked this one up on the exchange here just cause I wanted to try one out. It worked pretty nice, but I don't see myself using that feature at all, so I decided to modify it. I really like this style clip, and I made the pen blade into more of a Zulu shape. Came out pretty cool I think.

Anyone who carries one of these - how much piercing utility do you gain over, say, a spey blade?
