I just sold a HJ because ive got way to many knives and need to slim down.

20 minutes later one of these came up for sale on FB and I bought it.

Honestly whats the point, why do I bother,just relax and accept it my son you cant help yourself.

I'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news ................................... but it sure looks like to me that you collect them.

We are all helpless collector deniers.

If you're gonna carry a Barlow every day, why not this one? Super useful blade shape, indestructible covers, and looks, well, rustic. Thanks, GEC, for cutting the BS and making another fine Barlow.

Added a Case red bone 1964 to 1969, advertising knife for Russell Badgett Jr. Most of the Case advertising barlows seem to be delrin and I have another from his coal company, he must have bought quite a few knives as gifts. He had an interesting life, Naval aviator for 3 years in the Pacific in WW2, mining and coal companies and banking. Always nice to tie a little personal history to vintage knives.

If I do have one Harry, I don't have a photo of it. Next time I get into the "barlow box" I'll keep an eye out.
Here's a couple others from Queen... I do believe the `09 Bladeforum's Barlow was the very first S&M stamped knife with D-2 blade steel.
