Questions about the Boker Barlow

[Nathan Dewey]

You know how it is when you have a list of different models you want just to have and try out...
What's the average weight (german made bone model), f&f, pull strength, ergos?
Thanx for any help!

I have a Grey pick bone carbon steel 3 3/8" barlow with a long plain bolster for less than $30
Pulls standard easy Boker

Excellent classic example and a worker

I have the grey bone also. Fit and finish on mine isn't great, have a pretty significant gap between the spring and covers, but it's a solid comfortable user.

I've got a stag handled one and a deep canyon brown bone one. The stag one has a nice spear, but workmanship on it is not as good as the bone handled one. Anyway, the bone handle one is a pretty decent pocket knife for the price point. I like the one I have. I like both of them actually although I would like to find a better example of the stag one. I bought them back when we had an earlier Barlow fixation here on BF. Now that we are having another one, I'm looking for another Boker, maybe an older Tree Brand with the tree stamped in the bolster.
