Canal Street English Barlows. One in Reclaimed American Chestnut Wood and the other in Stag. Some of my favorite traditional barlows!

Those look great!

The closest I've gotten to a Canal Street barlow is this Moore Maker from a few years ago. It's a great little knife.

I really like the looks of the Moore makers too! I’ve not had the luxury of having one yet, but I’m sure the quality is all there!

I sure love this barlow here. I don't know exactly why but it's been about my favorite traditional for many many years. I peened the pivot pin a while back and got rid of the blade play it had and now she's better than ever! At one point I cold blued the small blade. Please excuse the Pena.

Hey Fodderwing, what is the brand of the Barlow in the middle with the “H” stamped on the bolster?

Very nice barlow Jack! I hope I can get one someday! I may be better off just taking one of my smooth bones and trying to scrat it myself.
