I had the first 3 KeenKutters for a while, then the fourth one popped up on A.G.Russell's website. Needless to say, I leapt for the phone!!

This is a 2008 Great Eastern in Patriot Acrylic. It was sold exclusively by Smokey Mountain Knife Works. I bought it on Ebay. GEC made a few models with the Patriot theme which included a great Eagle blade etch. Wonder why? The patriotic eagle etch was very well done.

Still in project mode, love em.

Nice Schrade.

I like old Barlow knives, the older the better!

So far I think Charlies Terrier barlow is the most attractive barlow I have seen

Here are some more...

Three old Russell`s and two old Queen`s

I really like the First Generation Bulldog Barlows. I believe they are very underrated and quite affordable compared to others though I have seen them sell for in excess of $250.00.

I think the stag on the First Generation Bulldog Barlows. is almost always very nice.

The other place I look for the First Generation Bulldog Barlows to have excellent looking stag is the club knives (such as the Old Dominion club knives) and also for the knives that have an S&D Our Best etch with and S&D Cut. Co. tang stamp.

Bulldog had a lot of Barlow parts (at least blades - 1986 English Steel) when Jim Parker bought Bulldog from Charlie Dorton. Maybe they were expensive to build, but another Barlow like the first generation Barlows was never built. The parts (blades) were put into the 3-1/2 inch Bullet Trapper in the second generation. They made between 750 and 800 of them. Lots of folks don't know what they are and they sell for very little - I got a couple for about $25 as my best buy. Here is a picture of one, they are often mis-identified on eBay.

You can see how easy it was to convert them, just make a bolster and handles, then drill another hole in the liner.

Fran,

Actually the second one and last one have a clip blade.

The second one is a two blade and the last a single blade.

I have attached pics of both with the blades open.

The last picture is a Daddy Barlow, with the regular size Barlow for size comparison.

I have a lot of Russell Barlow knives, they are the most common old ones to find.

Now to find that Wolfertz Barlow I have............

Here are my only two. The GEC speaks for itself. The Schrade is another matter. These came out in a SFO for American Express. There were five patterns, in Micarta, not Delrin. Each knife is signed, but not only are there different signatures on a given pattern, with slightly different art, but also different art on a given pattern by the SAME artist. I am amazed by this series. I think that every knife is indeed different, which is a mindblower when we are talking about Schrade, and I think that these knives are real sleepers as collectibles. I have an example in all five patterns, and two of one pattern, but I think one would have to accumulate a couple dozen to get a sense of how many variations there are.

I only have two barlows.......

One is a Case with the wrong blade in it (It has a 6235 1/2 clip blade in it)

The other is a Big Keen Kutter.
