What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Just messing around with the camera today, seeing if I can improve my picture taking skills, got a long way to go to catch up with Primble and others.

Augie Sir.
I don't think you have a long way to catch up at all my friend. Nice- no - VERY NICE knives btw.
I love setting up my knives and catching the light on the Swedge exactly as you have done on the Soup Clip point (3rd down from top ) - it keeps everything in perspective - keeps major sheen off the face of the blade and of course highlights the Swedge.
I actually very much love looking at your photography of stunning knives Sir.
 
Great photos of great knives, Augie! My favorite of today's selection is that long pull spear!
 
Love the Russell Sarah, a decent Russell has been high on my wish list but no luck so far.
 
Very happy to have corralled this old and all steel Fayetteville Knife Company Barlow, circa 1911. Should have it this week some time. It reminds me a bit of the old Southington Co. Barlow that I once owned. :D:

was switching out some knives in my Boker cabinet this afternoon and ended up with this HS&B in my pocket:
