What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[Half/Stop]

Wow Ron!!! I'd be honored just to own, let alone say I handled one of those gems!!! but my friend, if you let Duncan do the same PLEEEEASE, keep an eye on him

Thanks Paul! I would definitely have to keep my eyes on Duncan! Not that I wouldn’t trust him!

I heard a whisper some folks in these here parts are draggin’ me name through the mud ( sound of spit hitting the spit bowel with an echoing ring )

I didn’t want to pull this Ace out of my sleeve so soon - but Charlie asked me to take the Reigns of this thread and implement any measures I feel needed to keep you guys under control whilst he works out to come back stronger than even before ( go Charlie!)

I personally think a fine system is in order. Paul and Ron - I think $50 each to my PayPal please guys is a fair warning, and if you feel bad enough a few TC’s tossed into the play would be recognised as atonement

Duncan, I should have known hanging around Paul might get me in trouble! Here he has cost me $50 out of my knife fund! Please accept my apologies my friend! I personally think you will make a great Thread Master! I don’t care what Paul said!

What a Trio!!! Now that's a great get well card.

Thank you!

I’m totin this fine ole gentleman today!

Nice! I don't see many bone handled "skinny trees" very often anymore, and that one looks unused!

Thanks Rachel! Looks unused to me as well. Maybe a tad shopworn, with a pepper spot here and there. I'm not up on the different tree stamp variations, but I'm guessing this is a USA made knife from the '60s or '70s...?

I think so, but I can't remember when they switched to Delrin. I'll have to do some reading to refresh my memory.

 

[Fodderwing]

GE Jr Dating this particular knife is hard to get closer than within 20 yrs but I do know that in the mid 70's they began using just two pins in the sawcut delrin so yours has to be made prior to that.

Only wish it was in CV but it is very nicely done. Only gripe is slight gap on the bone cover on the back end but the snap is awesome. Thinking about getting another one and putting the best one up and using the other.

 

[556hunter]

That case is a real looker. I too, really wish that they would’ve made some with CV! I bought one in bone stag and it’s very well done all around.
