TC Barlow SFO
Charlie, you've done it again!!!!
This model is sort of a 'reverse trapper' in that the blades are reversed from a usual style trapper. It's also smaller at 3 1/2 inches closed; a lot of blade in a very compact package. Thanks Charlie!!!!
The TC Barlow is one of the sweetest, pocket friendly and useful knives to come along in a long while. Charlie Campagna (upnorth on this forum) based it on a hundred year old New York Knife Co. example and other similar vintage Barlows. It features half stops on opening/closing, 1095 carbon steel blades, quality materials and all steel construction for a couple lifetimes of durability. The walk 'n' talk on these is incredible!This model is sort of a 'reverse trapper' in that the blades are reversed from a usual style trapper. It's also smaller at 3 1/2 inches closed; a lot of blade in a very compact package. Thanks Charlie!!!!

Re: TC Barlow SFO
That's a great knife Perry! That was probably the most popular bone color in that run and they are gorgeous!

Re: TC Barlow SFO
This model is another winner! Sorta like a mini-trapper barlow with the clip and spey blades, but in reverse order with the spey in front. Another difference from the trapper is that both blades open from the 'front' or mark side of the knife. Really a sweetheart pattern!!!
I had a hand in the etch design of this model, so it's really special to me! Thanks Charlie!!!Barry

Re: TC Barlow SFO
I have the sheepfoot in blackwood as well as the spearpoint version in sawed bone (thanks to Big Monk!) but the spearpoint with african blackwood handles is nowhere to find!

Re: TC Barlow SFO
Ah, that is a stunner right there. The spearpoint version probably went first.
But here's what you're looking for maybe.

Re: TC Barlow SFO
I should so like to see more of these. Grabbed two when they first showd - a bone clip and an ebony clip/pen.
They see much use time and I'd like to get a couple more. Just about ideal pocket wear.
Nice one Charlie C
