What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[solphilos]

I'd love to be able to find one of those nice barlows, but I am afraid I do not understand how to order one. I see nothing available from any of Charlie's dealers. Does anyone have a moment to assist? Thank you kindly.

I’d recommend calling, emailing and subscribing to their email mailing lists.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate that. I'll give it a shot. My apologies, I was under the impression that they were available for purchase currently.
Thanks again, and best regards.

I have a very modest collection of Barlows and even more modest selection of TCs.

We used to only talk about the knives themselves here. NOT the buying of them.
To be honest I’m not sure what rules still apply here.

Also, I don’t think it hurts to have a sales history with them.

some of the listed places have been radio silent unfortunately, but hey worth a shot

I really like the soup bone, I wish they made that available as a cover option more often, especially the 15s.

I think you’re right, in my excitement I seem to have forgotten that.

Here’s a pic to help get back on track

Been looking for a nice red bone Henckel's barlow for a while... this one caught my eye

These Cases turned out so nice!

Really fantastic looking knives there, thanks for sharing. The picture reminds me that I have a F.A. Bower, but in jigged bone. Nothing fancy, but I like it a lot.
I'll have to snap a picture later.
Also, who is the maker of that fine looking one with stag covers?

It’s too bad they’re going back into the “vault”
I really like mine, not the best action but overall it’s nice.

I like soup bone as well - when I first saw this TC with the Red Soup Bone, I knew I was going to have to find one. It took some time and patience but it paid off. I'd love to see it on more knives, for sure.

I agree, that particular Case Barlow was the one to get out of all the new ones they have produced - I'm still keeping a casual look out.

Thank you, my friend. That Stag Barlow is a very special, very limited SFO, designed by our very own @Jack Black.

That may very well be the best Case Barlow since the Soup Bones .

Wonderful Case.

They can certainly multiply quickly, even without chasing the older more experienced models.

They did a really nice job on these, not a gap to be found anywhere on my sample, centered blades, pins nicely done, no blade play. Whenever the honeymoon phase is over with my newest knife this one is always makes it back in my pocket.

Nice collection
I like the variety of bolster stamps they offered this go round. That green bone with the bit of “soup” looks great.
those brokers ain’t to shabby either

This is not the extent of my Barlows , but it is all of the TC Barlows that I have and I am very happy to have gotten that many . Thanks to @btb01 Barrett and another friend for my being able to get 2 of them .
