Thanks John. It's my favorite barlow that I own and looks even better in person. And you're right... could easily look cheap, but that's not the case on these Canal Streets.Most Gold Dust handles look really cheap, but that one is very attractive.

As someone who has been carrying a Barlow on & off since the 1950s, calling these Lionsteel Barlows "traditional" is maybe a bit of a stretch; but the combination of the awesome M390 blade steel & modern materials make them outstanding knives no matter what category you put them in.

I love barlows, second only to my SAK Tinker. Where did you find that model? Several of my usual dealers carry LionSteel, but not the barlow

My wife's maternal grandfather lost his arm on the last day of World War I...when she was a child, she assumed "Armistice Day" was in honor of her grandpa. After the war he worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad, I have heard he carried a pocket knife like all good railroad men do but I have been unable to determine if he carried a "Razor Blade" or "One Armed Man's Knife" as I have heard them referred to....so cool, necessity being the mother of invention!
Great photos Charlie. Thanks again.
