What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[bigfish64]

Inspired by Old Hunter . Some two blade Barlows, in my opinion, are kinda chunky, but, Boker has the barlow figured out, even the two bladed ones are elegant.

Agreed!! A two-blade doesn't have to be ugly!!
My knife for the day!! Nice rounded bolsters, and semi-sunk joints, it's a smooth carry!

My favorite 2 blade TC, long pull spear (Genuine Barlow) with pen behind primary blade…absolute perfection!

A bunch of Queen made Barlows, Queen Barlows from this era are very high quality.

The walk and talk on this knife is superb, and the wood doesn’t look too bad either!

I agree. Queen made some nice solid Barlows.

In this blade position, this thing is like a loaded mouse trap!
