What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Great shots and knife, John!! I think these newest TC Ancients are among GEC's best work.

pretty nice bone on that one!

These Bulldog Tobacco Barlows are pretty well made . One with a Spey and one with a Sheepfoot . One with a Normally Curved handle and one with a Reversed Curve Handle . Green Bone

Good looking knife! By the way, I'm just a few blocks from the King Ranch Saddle Shop. Is that a briefcase in the photo? They have a lot of beautiful leather products. They also have a Case knife display case containing knives with the King Ranch's Running W brand.

Thanks! I have a king ranch f250. I love the leather and it makes for a good back drop!

Hi guys its been too long since I actually posted in this fine thread. Thought I would post a picture of my much slimmed down TC collection and a Queen I surprisingly like a lot.

Just got this Drake's Well 1972 Queen barlow. I have yet to hang onto a Queen knife.. keep hunting for one that strikes me especially with the unfortunate closing of the company. I must admit I like this one a lot. Excellent walk and talk.. centered.. no play.. I love the non symmetrical bolsters and the scales are beautiful.

Nice Barlows Drew, each and everyone of them. I have a Drake Queen like that and is absolutely a favorite of mine. Like yours, excellent walk and talk, centered with no play and of course those covers

Thank you Paul! Yeah I am very happy with the quality for sure. I will be researching more about them, but do you happen to know the blade steel used?

My small collection of GEC barlows grew by one today (the stag 773115). Hopefully soon I'll have a pair each of 14s, 15s and 77s.

I was looking at the various Ancients yesterday, remembering all the little details that went into them. I am continually amazed at how attracted I am to those uncouth little beasts!!
I doubt I can ever put into words how completely attached to them I am!!
Nice choice, Ron!!
