Still day 25
I just received another Barlow from my recent fishing trip in the bay. The Case Grand Daddy Barlow! It has a couple chips in the bone but the blade is intact and it has great action. I’ll carry this one the rest of the day into this evening.

Thank you and that was a fine fine fishing' trip you took !!!
Go fishin' and catch a nice Barlow ...... I'd be all in for that !

I guess you could say I caught a mess of fish.

I would say that you caught a mess of quality fish !

Day 25

Listen, I know a #25 would have been the natural choice for today, but it wasn't in the stars. Maybe if I had a full-blade model, but I don't, and while the Beerlows excel at tasks such as slicing gherkins, olives, and other diminutive vegetables - it's not that kind of day.

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling so hot. Now, my GF seems to be experiencing bizarre mood swings. As crazy as it sounds, I think it has something to do with the moon... maybe she's a werewolf?

In any case, to weather this storm I needed the comfort and confidence of a trusted and reliable tool, so naturally I grabbed this 2022 GEC-made Remington Granddaddy Barlow (show of hands, how many of y'all are sick of seeing this one? I see... ... ... no hands! Cool! Me neither!)!

I don't know where this packing slip came from, but ol' Warehouse Employee #25 sure can pick 'em! Keep it up #25!

Day 25. Carried the HHB around town to run errands today but left it at home for work. Still counts as carrying.

Well..... I loved your purty grandaddy Remington ............ but it cost me some money today cause I went looking for old grandaddy Remingtons. You see my hand ?

Of course it does !
Nobody said you have to carry it all day. Gotta love the Hartshead !

If I came across an oldie, I don't know if I could resist!

The plan though, as it stands now, is to make this current one an old one... it'll only take a few decades!

Kinda like when you give a couple an acorn as a wedding present and tell them it's a furniture set for their great-grandkids!

looks like yours is well on it's way ....... you might get there sooner than that.
The GEC version is at least as good or better than the originals ..... something I usually don't say when it's a repro vs. original.
Yours has some beautiful bone too !

Giving you a partial peek of my grandaddy on its way. I hope it makes it here before day 30.

Missed yesterday so making it up with a set of Ulster salesman sample barlow, this set will never be broken up. Thanks Charlie.

Such a cool set!

Here Schatt & Morgan Barlow is in Lilliputia with some other pygmy pals

DAY XXV

But wait there's this one trying to qualify too..... Moki lockback, it's long bolster and not slanted...

I’ve got a questionable one along the same lines (though not as nice) but I decided to play it safe and stick with the sure bets.

Diggin' up bones ..... two dimes and a nickel says it's Day 25. I dug up my saw-cut bone E.C.Simmons Barlow and a very nicely jigged bone .

Last night, I dug your pretty bone out from my old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four
I read some old Barlow letters right up 'til the break of dawn
Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
Exhumin' things that's better left alone

"Hi-ho, the derry-o ! " ............ just five more days to go.

I love that keen kutter and the Randy Travis.

Day 25, good knife, good mug, bad picture.

Days 22 & 23

At least some of the Barlows coming out of Italy today are being made from the best of modern materials.
Materials such as M390 blade steel, titanium frames and bolsters and synthetic covers, like micarta or carbon fiber. They're being designed and built using the latest manufacturing methods and tools. These changes from the more traditional materials and means may enable them to outlast anything that came before while functioning at near perfection.
Is it possible that Barlows like lionSTEEL could become the next generation of classics? Only time will tell.
Whether a modern become a classic or not, I for one, have already found them to be excellent knives.

Have a great weekend, Fellow Barlow-ITES

Day 25
Another Boker today, this one is a bone covered and carbon steel example I caught fishin' in the bay recently.

Those are some fine prizes you're offering Mr. P! Thank you for your porchiness generosity, and thanks for creating this challenge it's been fun!

Another superb example, you have a top Stable of Barlows

Primble 'Thus Spake Elijah J.' Who am I to mess with the authority of a Maine-Coon ? I think it was that damnable Lanyard hole that capsized my efforts...should have shopped it (don't know how...)

My Princess Tabby is more 'democratic' her interest in knives runs to "Ah look the Uncle has left another one of those things on my territory..I'll just paw it off and see if it flies (cracks) "

Yeah, my Shuffler gets carried more than my other Barlows. The Lionsteels are lightweight, made of modern materials, and use one of the newer super steels that hold an edge for a long time. What's not to like? I don't know if they'll become the next generation of classics, but they sure make good users.

Day 25
The Shuffler again.
