What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

How does one even find knives like that Fodderwing Fodderwing ? Pretty cool old collection. I've never seen any knife worthy of a 2nd glance in the antique stores or flea markets around here. Maybe Mainers just use up their knives beyond usability or recognition. :rolleyes:

Ray it's the same way here when it comes to local sources. It's a never ending search mostly world wide web. But you gotta find em when Charlie ain't lookin...😁
 
Funny to me that the bolsters on these knives are reversed engravings one side to the other. Writing faces the spine on one face and the blade slot on the other face. I have one like that too, assumed it was a mistake but I've seen others.

Was there a reason for this?
