Stockman, Barlow, or Sodbuster?

As a collector of Barlows and inspired by the snappy verse supplied by Thomason I gotta go Barlow. The only negative I have is that they're a little too much on the 'heavy' and bulky side for my EDC. Lightest ones in my collection are the Queens, but they're still a bit big in my 'office clothes' pockets.

That said I love the clean, simple sturdy look they have and more history than any other slippie style of which I'm aware. Seems to be a pick up in the frequency Barlows are being mentioned recently too. And that's fine with me.

A Barlow booster:cool:
 
Mine will allways be a Two-Blade-Barlow, I have 2 with pen blades (big+small)
and one from the UK with a "big" lambs-foot and a small pen-blade. It is so good and easy to open the blades from the same side :D
 
They sound nice; why not post some pictures!?!?:thumbup:
 
A stockman seems to slipp into a pocket without being to heavy, but I've been a Barlow man since age 13. My first was a Sabre two blade Barlow, clip point, black handles. I sure do miss it. Lot's of good barlows and stockman knives on Ebay. Just stay away from the pakistan garbage. they're really pushing them.
