Your favorite Barlow
I was unable to find a page here at AAPK dedicated to just the barlow style of knife. As the barlow knife is a well loved design I thought you might have a favorite you would like to share? Here is a LAKESIDE CUTLERY CO. made for Wards pre-1929 by Challenge Cutlery of Bridgeport Connecticut.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
Nice old barlow.
I learned something. I have a slick old Lakeside ebony handled jack knife.
I bet Challenge made it too.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
Yep
This barlow snaps like its new, speaking to the quality of the build.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
I only own a few, but this one is my favorite - I like the combination of an etched spear blade, the jigged bone handle, and the engraving style on the bolster.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
I've shown this elsewhere but it is my absolute favorite: a Queen/Dan Burke with D2 steel.
Re: Your favorite Barlow
I have one of those, marked 'Luka State Bank' on the handle. And, I got outbid on two separate Electric Mate's this weekend.knife7knut wrote:Here's one of my favorites(bottom knife):A Colonial Barlow with a screwdriver/wire stripper secondary blade.Have yet to see another one.
Odd blade barlows seem to have become my collectable favorite.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
Some nice barlows here. Thats an interesting New York Knife Co. that you have there singin46, I like the double headed arrow on the bolster. And I really like that Queen Quick Steel, she is very fine. Thanks Philco, I don't know how I over looked those. And now, more reading fun!

Re: Your favorite Barlow
Here is my small but growing collection of barlows. Nothing really special. Only my 2nd attempt at posting pics, so bear with me
The three Case XX were all EDC at one time or another, but have been rotated out.
Next, a Colonial electrician's, a Prov R.I. spear and Imperial clip, both shell knives. And last is a Rite Edge POS the wife gave as a stocking stuffer last Xmas.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
Here's a few more of my favorites:
A Kutmaster Utica NY that had the pen blade broken.Ground it flush and cleaned it up for a great EDC.
A Camco with the center liner extended and punched with a hole;presumably for a ring.
A Camillus Tip Top that has one bone scale and the other side wood(a replacement).Still a good EDC.
An older Ulster.
Second pic:
A Kent NY City with unusually grooved scales.
An I*XL with jigged bone scales.
A Russell with a sheepfoot master blade.Really nice except for a small crack in the pen blade.
An unusual small Barlow single blade marked Swan Works Germany.

Re: Your favorite Barlow
here are three of my favs. one boker, a tidioute grandaddy that was put togther with authentic tidioute parts by vern atkins, according to david, [ paknives], and a scrimshaw with complete filing work done by sam mcdowell. the mermaid looks like she's been in the water much too long.
Re: Your favorite Barlow
Hey Chet that is one cool lookin' Mermaid knife! I'd be showin' that one off all the time if she were in my accumulation...interesting secondary blade on that one too, sort of a drop point spey blade...very nice.
