What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

BEF30188-6B8A-47D8-8630-BE142905261D.jpeg This is a Kabar on the left and a Colonial on the right.
Both are fairly old , at least 70’s era.

They both have excellent walk and talk, the Kabar is the better made one but the Colonial is no slouch though.

The thing I love about both these knives are the nice thin clip blades.
Both will slice most material with great ease.

They sharpen up very easily also.
The steel is good and is easily as good or better than what GEC and Case are using today.
