What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Jack Black]

All the better that they made it home to you Jack.

Thank you, they were a very generous gift. I just don't come come across old Barlow's here, they seem to have almost all been exported. I treasure the few I have

It was made by Schrade Cut Co. The S stands for Schrade. The tang stamp is an abreviation of the company name, that stamp was used around 1917-1946

Thank you, so many variations, I like these old fonts too.

Indeed - I've been looking for a small Oates and son barlow for years with no luck

Great photo, 6Strings! I got several of Boker’s Barlows as do others around here, that’s one I missed. Yours looks fantastic!

Thank you, a nice whisky too if you like peaty flavours. There are some nice variations of the Boker barlow, the white bone only available in the US would’ve been nice to have. I’m also trying to find some of the 90’s American Hunter series, would live to complete the set.

I have these two:

Dwight, you've really been showing us the goods lately.

Thank you John for the encouraging words my friend.

Very nice, the grain in that Deer Hunter is fantastic!

 

[Fodderwing]

Another one from.... Zeee ... Germans...

I sure hope the two blade version of this has a "TWO" stamp

Nice user Ed, I've handled a lot of these Case Barlows and no matter how used they are they still don't seem to get loose.

 

[Modoc ED]

Nice user Ed,

Thanks Augie. I don't carry or use it as often as I should.

That is the Barlow that was included in the 1992 Schatt and Morgan Keystone Series set, made by Queen. Love that crimson sawcut bone! The color turned out GREAT on that set!

Thanks Dave, didn't know it was part of a Keystone Set!

Super grateful to have these in the collection, especially what appears to be the last Waynorth SFO Sepia Saw cut. They’re all fantastic knives. I will likely keep the boys knife safe in case God blesses me with a son one day, or a daughter if she’d like it!

Thanks 6Strings!

Very nice, the grain in that Deer Hunter is fantastic!

I cleaned these two up, and they both came out great. Flushed, a little micro mesh, oiled and a coat of renwax too.

Boker’s the Farmboy 1983 rosewood.
Always lookin’ for these stamped bolsters.
Wonderful knives as y’all know
