Here are three Barlows I found at the OKCA show recently. I sure didn't see very many vintage Barlows for sale. From the top Simmons (EC Simmons), HBS & Co. and a Remington with some sort of white synthetic? handles.
Nice finds Loyd. That SIMMONS stamp just sings.

Charlie, Dean, Lloyd, Augie, Phil, Harry, Tim and Mark...Thank you all. When I saw it posted I thought "WOW, I won't even be able to type I'll take it and it will be gone" I was surprised to see that it lasted as long as it did. I felt the price more than fair but still wrestled with the idea of buying another knife. I didn't have to wrestle long until I came to my senses and told myself, it's meant to be
It really didn't take much to justify why I NEEDED it

Will the release of these 14s slow the new runs of 15s? Are you firm on the TC label on the bolster?

The form for forging the #14 "TC" bolster is complete - carved in stone so to speak - (steel actually). So I am firm - can't change it now as it's too expensive. It is of course a smaller version of the well-known TC!
I will continue with the 15s, but less frequently - I can only make so many knives per year! I will stick with the "traditional" principles I have touted over the years as much as is practical. I might use some different woods for wood handled knives; that's about as far off course as I wish to venture.
I'd love to find out what some of the unknown woods of past centuries actually were!!
