This is one of my favourite Barlows, I keep thinking that one day I might take it apart and put a new blade in it, but I cant bring myself to do it.

Nice EO notch! Small and neatly made, I like it much more then some huge half of the handle width cutouts.

Here’s a Curved Drop Point Barlow. I had seen these in some catalogs and K’roo makes one. His is just over 4 inches with a blade @ 3 1/4 inches. The covers are African Blackwood. Here’s an old catalog image.

Love these yellow covers, perfect EDC pocketknife, would really patina nicely if I could bring myself to use it.

Added this RB43 barlow today, pretty much the most unmolested Remington barlow I have found, still has original blade finishes and possibly factory edge, some corrosion from sitting 90 years or so.

I would be surprised if he doesn't have a bunch of original Northfields and Tidioutes in his possession.
