What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

~P stands for "first with the Pics"!!:D

The two blade looks great. Thanks Sarah - as usual.:)
I hope they post a two-blade in the closed position. I'd like to see how the pulls line up!
 
I thought I would only like the 2 blade versions from the first run but I found that I love the single blade versions just as much! Which means one of each blade and color configuration....*sigh*...Losing weight will be easy this next month!
 
You guys are in for a treat. I have a knife whose blade is a dead ringer for that clip point.

That broad blade should last at least a couple of lifetimes.

What knife is that, Christian? I cannot read the tang . . ..

How about a guess, Charlie. Queen/Dan Burke cattle knife.

A good guess, but no. It's the Queen/Dan Burke Rancher. IIRC it was released in 2006 or so. I suspect the same person was responsible for designing both blades.

The cattle knife was a three blade affair. Think cattleman, with a clip point main instead of a spear. The Rancher is a single and shares the cattle knife's clip point blade. The cattle knife also had carved bone covers, the Rancher used stag.

Jason, I was hoping that GEC wouldn't make any 15 jack knife versions of these new barlows, because I really can't afford any more at the moment, I'm already getting two of the new barlows.

I can't even lie and say that I wouldn't get one. That Remington is outstanding.
 
Guys I have a question. I really really don't want to miss out on the new #15 barlows GEC is making right now. Back on their page it gives contact information, but I don't know what SFO stand for. Do I need to contact that person to buy one, or where can I get one? Please pm me, I'd greatly appreciate it.:)

SFO stands for Special Factory Order, and your in luck "that person" is Charlie AKA Waynorth who has been posting in this thread. Send him an email and I am sure he can fill you in on how to pick one of these up when the time comes.
