What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Thanks,you wont believe what else I bought.

I was literally going through my change to pay for the Barlows and some other nice stuff at the end of the day,I was tired.

As I handed the money over he said did you see that one its called a bunny knife?
I said sorry what did you say?
He proceeded to tell me all about bunny knives and said he had another one somewhere which actually said bunny knife on it.

He couldn't find it,so I put one of the knives back and bought the one he showed me instead,its a Rogers in very nice condition.

I was surprised because we had been talking about Barlows,electricians knives and how much import tax he had to pay from the US he was American himself.
I asked him if he was on the forum and that's why he mentioned it, but no it was pure coincidence.

Its a small world sometimes. 😁

Humble pie.

Waynorth sorry I spook out of turn on the other thread,I didnt message you to say that as its clear you are swamped and I didn’t want to burden you further.


I just noticed someone,somehow has turned me gold,to who ever did that thank you very much.


2 quick Barlows I got today,both a delight.

I spent every penny in my wallet today in fact I ran out and have to Paypal one of the dealers at the show (very trusting).

Cash was king,so they said,after 14 knives I wasn't so sure 😁

All comments welcome as I have no real knowledge of them,he did put a premium on these saying Barlow where more popular nowadays.

Nice finds. Congratulations. I especially like the saw-cut bone on the Lambsfoot Barlow.

Imagine if GEC made a Lambsfoot Barlow like this C. Johnson? That would be an extremely popular knife.
 
Wow ! Charlie, I did'nt realize you've been tired by you last trip .
So I hope to see your knives well used will bring you a little drop of energy 😁
