Heres an Old Barlow that has had lots and lots of use - still has the snap authority of a new Knife - and LOTS of deep Stamping going on everywhere - very long, strong Bolster Southern & Richardson & Co, Sheffield - the good Ol' Nest Knife......


fes showed us one some time ago- from memory in a lot better shape that this - dont get me wrong folks, this knife has NO side play, fantastic snap - the Main is shortened down from use.

Thank you Phil, Dean, Tim and Gev.

Ron, agree with Gev, Charlie gave you a nice Barlow, nice pic also.

Duncan, nice old one, lots of interesting stampings on that one.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I sure did, hosted my parents who luckily are still in my life. Dad is approaching 90 and Mom is mid 80's. I feel blessed that they are still around. They just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

So as far as Barlow content, how about a Queen that you can tune a skate with? Picked this one up awhile back and never took pictures. Really is a beautiful Barlow, really sharp spear blade and a screwdriver blade with skate key. Probably will never use the skate key, don't think my old fat ass would last very long on a pair of skates

Had to include a picture of Mabel again, if I'm outside shooting pics she has to get involved, I'm afraid she is going to step on one of the knives one day and hurt herself, she was getting pretty close to the Queen and it is sharp.

Great knife Augie love that stag and the skate key.

Gus, a great photo of a great Barlow. I like the little sparkle of sunlight - really sets off the knife.

Willy, two matching beauties you have there. Sawcut really does it for me.

Nice Barlow! But Mabel is a Queen too!
Never let her see such a thing :

she would believe it as Duna did (sadly missed since last year october)
