What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Charlie, that's a cool one, and different than the others of a similar ilk that I've seen. The ones I'm familiar with have a similar curved blade with fork tines, but they're automatics with a push-button.

Picture from the ol' internet:

Simple answer-- NO. It would be much slimmer in the pocket, or in the hand if using the pen blade.
 
Thanks for producing that beautiful knife, Charlie! I can't wait to see the sheepsfoot run...
 
Being relatively new to this game could someone show a photo of what the sheepsfoot blade would look like. What I have found on the internet looks almost like a pruning blade.
 
I can't believe it, but I Just lost my 2 blade clip at work today. :(
I think its in the wet grass around the grape vines somewhere, but I'm hoping we'll find it as my workmate Barry has a few metal detectors and has found a bit of gold in his time.
Hopefully if I find it, it hasn't rusted too much.

I feel naked without it, even with my other knifes with me...

Ack! Just make sure you get out there and look again, before anybody mows the grass...! :eek:

I'm very excited for this sheepsfoot barlow. Couldn't swing the forum knife this year, due to monetary restrictions, so when this one comes in at 2/3 the price I'll be a happy camper! :D
 
Havn't seen ths thread until now.

I received a barlow of my own a while back, a Camillus TL-29, courtesy of paulhilborn. He gave me a great deal, and the knife is in great condition, considering how old it is. (Thanks!!!! :))

Anyway, I love it. It's my favorite knife.

I finally see as waynorth does!

The old Camillus TL-29's sure are nice! ...but they're not barlows...
 
That redbone is gorgeous! I regret not picking any up.

I am really looking forward to the sheepsfoot TC barlow. :)
