I'm drooling..

Its a good thing I really dont like these Barlow things....

I don't feel so bad anymore about my six! Nice collection!

I am taking these two as my edc's on my trip to visit the land of Jack, my good ol' Flat Belly, and my Ebony Spear that sports Sarahs PPP initials
being a bit cautious not to take any blade over 3 inches long, so these will be great to have with me..

 

[silenthunterstudios]

Are they going checked or through the post?

 

[Campbellclanman]

Packed in my suitcase - not on my on-board bag, should be ok, my wife's Step dad went home with his traditional gifted from me, as did Sues Brother.

Dave, I didn't know you opened up a distributorship! Can I order......

Lol! Just when I thought I was done getting Barlows, Charlie would come out with another! Im sure its not over with either!

Wharncliff barlows? Razor barlows? Was it a dream or did they make razor barlows already?

Wharncliff barlows? Razor barlows? Was it a dream or did they make razor barlows already?

So far, the only main blades That I have seen on regular-sized vintage Barlows are these five:

Spear
Clip
Sheepfoot
Spey
Razor or One-armed Man

Out of respect for collectors, I will produce no more Spears or Clips for at least one year.

so, no wharncliffe, no drop point, my crystal ball says yes, a Spey and a Razor Charlow are coming. After next May 10th, I suspect a round of spears will follow after the expiration of Charlies 1 year moratorium on spears.. There may even be a fantasy trapper, with a spear and a sheepfoot... pure speculation at this point <g>

Shouldn't be a problem at all Duncan, I've flown with some large FBs and locking folders checked in my suitcase, perfectly legal so long as you're not carrying them onto the plane :thumbup:

Thank you Jack!

Thank you Jack!

Wishing you and Sue a safe journey my friend

One thing that makes a barlow traditional is minion approval. It is after all a classic working knife.

PS Thank you Charlie, I love it.
