Good call Dwight, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a very well made knife with a strong back spring, just the way I like them. I’m going to make sure it gets out more often.

Locking Curved Barlow??

Barlow Stockman??

Just because it has long bolsters doesn't mean it's a Barlow! This is a Barlow!!

This is one of the best knives I’ve ever had, l lost it last summer when visiting family, still hoping it might find its way back someday

Concerning the Ulster Barlows:
I know the Number 10 had a Clip Point main. The Number 11 was a Spear Point. And, the Number 12 was a Sheepsfoot.

QUESTIONS:
Did Ulster ever make a Barlow with the One Arm blade?
If they did, what was the model number?

Thank you kindly, Charlie. Nice to hear that.

Those are great, Paul! I especially like the New Day with the jigged (pick?) bone and blade etch. Great knife!

Very nice Day’s Work! Looks nice in Ebony (or we’re those African Blackwood?). I need to go back and read up on what other covers they did those in. I’ve got this one in smooth yellow bone.
