What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Fox79]

Vintage sawcut bone scaled Boker 492 that was rescued from a junk box. I replaced broken main blade backspring, removed broken pen blade layer. cleaned up the rusted main blade, reassembled the knife and it's ready to carry for many more years.

@ScottK - nice job saving the Barlow! How did you obtain a new main blade spring? Just curious.

I found my first Barlow. As some here on the "porch" know, I've only just started collecting Traditionals since November, so I'm way late to the party. However I found my first vintage U.S. Barlow, a Schrade 206.
I love it!.........Also I need more Barlow now

Also I need more Barlow now

Nice old Schrade, you opened a can of barlow worms with that one!

Hope everyone is staying warm up north! It is mid 70's here, perfect weather for a beach barlow!

Ya got that right! As soon as I wiped it down, and put it in the case, I immediately started looking for another Barlow. It's a damn sickness, these Traditionals.

had one of these converted to a single blade, thought it was a good idea at the time

I just bought a used 2016 14-TC Barlow with copperhead sawcut Covers! It’s in transit.

I’m excited for my first 14 TC.
