I've owned a few and never took to them for one reason or another.
It struck me the other day, it's because I dislike EZ Open notches and the little size didn't feel right for a Barlow.
If I had started with one as nice as yours, simple and beautiful, I'd probably still have it.
Really nice example you have. :cool::thumbsup:

Thanks, John. Do you think it’s the thick/stumpy proportions that you dislike about the #25 Barlow? How do you feel about the #14 as a Barlow? (Same length, but obviously slimmer.)

Today with Portuguese Curel.;):thumbsup:


Interesting shape! I like the symmetry when closed. :thumbsup:

Hoping fall colors will bring fall weather ;)

Beautiful color on that! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Decided to go with another #25 today.

I think it's the round bolsters that don't look right on a Barlow.

I'm not generally a big fan of barlows in general (despite having and carrying my 77 lately). I think it has to do with me preferring more handle and less bolster. Same reason I prefer no shields. Oddly, the biggest exception I can think of is the rounded barlow bolsters on the 25s. I think it fits somehow perfectly with the size and shape of the knife as a whole. Go figure! :D
 
This is the only multi blade knife I’ve carried (except for a SAK) in a very long time. I didn’t even know it had carbon steel blades. The patina was a hint. Hahaha Now to try and get the clip sharp. Sharpening is not one of my strong points no matter how much I try.View attachment 1411490
Looks like a great knife! :thumbsup:

I haven't been able to decide lately how many blades I like. Used to think it was just one. But my current favorite is my 29, which has three, or two plus a punch, depending which one! In between I thought my 92 was the only one I ever needed... two blades.
