What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

What's wrong with you Barlow lovers? I don't think I have ever seen this thread at the bottom of page 3 !!

Needed a bump ! :D:D

Just received this 1916 Keen Kutter Barlow from my good friend Jon Slider. It has some blade wear on the main spey and secondary pen, but walk and talk are awesome. Great snap on both blades.

Thank you Jon! :D:thumbup: I have liked this knife ever since seeing your pictures of it when I first joined BF in March of 2014.

Mark, that is one classy Barlow. Something about the style of the old ones.
 
I found another of these Queen 1972 Drake Well Barlow's. What I really like about the older knives is the saw cut bone they used, it has a real depth and glow to it. I don't find it as much on newer knives in saw cut.
