Wowwww...Thanks! What a beautiful svelte piece and what a lucky guy. Imagine, cutting an apple with a Bose knife... probably makes it taste better

I was watching Hugo this evening (a pretty good and visually striking movie) and the main character, Hugo a young orphan, was made to empty his pockets. In his right front pocket he pulled out a bandana, some jute twine, and what appears to be an IXL George Wostenholm Barlow. Can anybody tell me more about this knife? It immediately caught my eye.



Also, talk about a prepared kid!!! I'm completely impressed by his load out!

I've just been re-watching the 3 series of Deadwood. I can see why it wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but it's packed full of traditionals. In one scene though, the knife changes mid-scene.

I don't know much about that particular barlow, but I've got its cousin.

I'm even more impressed that someone knew to include that knife in the movie. :thumbup:

Thanks for the screenshot.

Toddwalla,
The covers on mine are a dark smooth root beer bone. Quite nice, aged well. All steel construction. Walks & talks with the best of 'em!

The show is Midsomer Murders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65zA9vrPWGQ At 1:13 minutes we see the murder weapon.

It is a British Army Clasp Knife. The one with a sheepsfoot, can opener, and marlinspike. The marlinspike was used to pry pebbles from horse’s hooves.

The pattern was first issued to soldiers in the British Raj, in 1905. It was a general-issue soldier’s knife during both World Wars.

Barnaby says, "That's an old Lewis Clasp Knife."

The doctor replies, "No soldier leaves home without one."

I don’t know who Lewis is.

A weird appearance, but in Malcom In The Middle, on of the cadets is sharpening a Case Bowie in the background.

I watched Hugo after reading this post. Excellent film!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was impressed by the movie from beginning to end. My only wish was that the barlow had made more appearances

I watched Hugo after reading this post. Excellent film!

In "Kings of Summer" When the boy sits down to eat the rabbit he cooked, next to his plate is a pocketknife. I lean over to my friend and whisper "Buck 379 import solo with jigged bone scales." He just rolls his eyes. Maybe this belongs in the 'you know you're addicted to traditionals.....' thread

A hugely underrated film with knife content to boot.

I have been rewatching the first two films of the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy" in anticipation of the final installment. Tonight I was enjoying "Hot Fuzz" when I noticed that Danny Butterman "stabbed" Sergeant Angel with what appears to be an Opinel No. 8



If you like gory British comedies these aren't to be missed. Plus, you'll get to spot at least one traditional knife!

Just saw the Lone Ranger this weekend. Quite a few knives in it. Tonto uses his knife in a few scenes and Butch has a cool Green River style skinner,even though he's a bad guy and does some nasty things with it.
There are a couple nice bowies in the Comanche lodge scene too.

Was watching an old movie on TV a few weeks ago (The Plainsman) - in the opening scenes Gary Cooper (playing Wild Bill Hickok) has just been discharged from the Union Army. He is hanging around a boat dock with a boy, using a fixed blade knife to cut on stuff. After he meets up with Buffalo Bill and boards the steamer he throws the knife to the boy, sticking it in a post on the dock. I was amused by the scene, but I bet a lot of boys loved it way back when and dreamed of owning a Wild Bill Hickok knife! OH

Just because I'm all about the sgian dubh right now; Liam Neeson uses one to humble Tim Roth in Rob Roy.
