What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

A lot of meat on this Case 40-64 razor soup bone:

I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife"

Thank YOU Charlie! I'm lucky and proud I was able to hang on to one of each. A lot of TC Barlows have gone through my hands, many I wish I had back, but heck, I like sharin'! :D
 
Barry - that soup bone collection by itself makes a fine collection - the Anniversary knife of yours is number one of all I have seen. :eek::thumbup::thumbup::)

Lyle - beautiful Case XX Barlow. :thumbup::)

Brett - Great collection !!! :thumbup::thumbup::)

Paul - super TC and extra fine old Barlows that Mark sent you. :thumbup::thumbup::)
 
Well done Barry! That is a glorious group of soup bone. :thumbup:

Wlfryjr - That is a lovely Case Barlow! I echo Paul on that one. :thumbup:

Thank you to those who complimented my post a while back. It seems I have been limited on time lately and have only been posting and running.

Hope you all have a great one.
 
Thank you all for the generous comments. I am not a whole lot about newer knives,but these "charlows" seem timeless,as do most of GEC's efforts.

Forgive me for not acknowledging your alls knives individually,I do enjoy your proud ownership,marvelous photos ,and the friendship that has evolved here.This is a great thread,full of goodness.

Hey Perry,did you ever sing Shady Grove (barlow content).

If I can find my 3 ebony "charlow" pictures,I'll post later.
Here's a couple you might have seen before:

I know Charlie,I'm supposed to put the spring at the bottom of the picture,making the knife upright. Seems I'm not always upright.:)

Nice Barlows Lyle, one of my favourite Barlow songs too :)
 
You can play the contrarian to my OCD any time Lyle, as long as the knives are as beautiful as that I*XL!!:D
 
I'm honored to have my post acknowledged by legends on two different continents and a Vegas superstar.:)

And another vocabulary lesson to boot.
