Beautiful, Steve, as good as a Barlow ever needs to be. The sunset bone is some of Case's best.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm pretty enamored with it as well!

AusLoX AusLoX - I think I may have mixed you up with another member regarding Reddit posts, but the rest still stands!

Did you win the GEC raffle?! I admire your collection frequently.... See your posts on Reddit as well. Always a pleasure!


Some really fantastic collections and just outstanding Barlow's in general here. Mine pales in comparison, but I love what I have.

Current obsession.....

That’s a beauty there! I really want to order one of those, but I am a little hesitant based on the stockman that I recently received from that series. Lance

J Just Tom. You are very right there, fact is the Barlow was always an honourable inexpensive work-knife , it's only lately it's become some kind of costly fetish ;) But some are undeniably really fine too :thumbsup:

Very true words! While I think RayseM RayseM Barlow 'The Stag Barlow Night' is absolutely exquisite, to me the Barlow has always been the cheap heavy duty working man's knife. I've gotten a few people at work to carry them because of that association.

Thanks, agreed. That rock you show with the Barlow really rocks too, something special?

I completely agree that the BARLOW is a quintessential work knife. I love the form and have always found it cool and useful.

It was perfect timing though when I found the Lloyd and at the same time Sarah Ladd was just starting to post her work here on the forum. Was impossible to resit - the big canvas of the barlow bolsters and the beautiful details of Sarah's engravings. I asked and proposed the theme and she agreed and took up the challenge. She far exceeded my expectations. Since receiving it, I have not dared to use it. Was out in the woods for a few photos but otherwise a safe queen. A silly fate for a barlow I know but after all a worthy respect for this singular piece of art. The moon and the sun are colored with real gold. :)

I don't even like Barlow's but this one is a beauty! Does Sarah still post here? She's has amazing skill.

Sadly for us - I hope good for Sarah - she has not been posting here since January of 24. Maybe it would be worth a look to see if she is on Facebook or Instagram with her work. I don't have access to either.

It's not really a silly fate for a barlow to me. Even though I view the pattern itself as the original beater knife, yours is a true work of art!! Nothing wrong with a gentrified work horse! As for safe queens, I have way too many of those myself!

I didn't realize that Sarah did engraving. It is phenomenal!

All barlow's are welcome here..... Thanks for sharing that one!
