What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Pt-Luso]

That shade scrimshaw is enviable, PT! The bolster engraving is cool, and something about the ducks makes me want a knife with ducks.

... How's the walk and quack? Ba-dooh, tshhh!

Thanks "traumkommode"!!!

Not exactly a traditional barlow, what with that blade's lack of a pivot, but I think it's traditional enough to make an appearance.

Rob, love that Taylors, great old Barlow. Dave, love the Stew's blade and GEC's version is easily usable with one arm, some of the others are so rounded that it is hard to catch on something to open.
In honor of Veterans Day and Stew.

Thanks Dave and John, for the tributes to Stew, and his fellows!
They gave up a lot for us, and it's a tribute to their strength and determination that they accomplished so much afterwards!!

I really like the Stew's Blade Barlows, and hope to see another run someday, now that I'm wise enough to appreciate them. Quite the tribute to an amazing person!

My heart lies with the single blade sheepfoot though. I'm quite proud of my collection, but certainly am not delusional enough to expect to complete it. Won't stop me from trying though.

 

[waynorth]

Nice collection, Ryan!!

The best traditional Barlow's are the ones you get from friends.
