Thanks Charlie! They’re not bad for a pair of “S” knives are they?Nice pics of great jigging, Ron!!
I thought it stood for “Special” Charlie. Because they always seem to be!Several of my GEC's are "S" models, Ron!! Stands for "Super"!!![]()

Saw this on the forums a while ago but didn't save the user. I had no idea some Barlows came with rounded bolsters!
Anyone know what model that is? (3rd down) Are there any other rounded bolster Barlows that are easy to get?
Here's a Tidioute version in acrylic:

Robeson and Utica made Barlows with rounded bolsters, in the past!!

Utica-made Barlows, some for other companies:View attachment 1331423
It is sometimes easier to find an "antique" than it is to find a GEC!!

They are out there, especially if you're not looking for fancy or brand new condition.Really appreciate this! Gives me more to look out for on the sales and auctions.
And if you don't mind "made in China" there's new production.
I know what you mean. I bought a Utica and had to do some modifications to make it usable. I took a dremel to the pull on the pen blade to move it out far enough from the pivot to be open-able. Also, they were mixing up their blades, so I got a carbon pen but a stainless main.I really like the old black carbon Kutmaster Barlows, they are great no nonsense working knives I carry one often (and keep a few in reserve). I agree the RR version is generally better executed and more like the classic ones than the final version Utica put out. I tried several late production Uticas Barlows and was disappointed, which has not been the case with the RR version. As a user they are hard to beat!
