What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Good morning for Barlows, found 3 unusual ones at a small local knife show, first is a S&M from 2004 for the Mason Dixon knife club,

Then I found this old straight line Russell,it is handled in oak, not sure if it came from the factory or it was rehandled sometime over the last 100 or so years,
