Barlows does anyone else love them

Post by r redden »

The Barlow pattern is my favorite knife bar none. Last year I went through an unexpected major change in my life and had to sell off most of my collection. For the last few months I've been rebuilding my Barlow collection and IMO it's starting to look pretty good.
I love knife pictures so if you folks don't mind how about posting your Barlows.
Here's mine.

Oh yes.... they come up from time to time.
I see some guy that lists the full set on ebay.... Not my kinda price tho.

:shock:

Of course... the Barlow is the hardest to find... in decent condition.
I have SEVERAL of the 58OT's...

Me too. Since I've contributed a goodly number of my Barlows to the Barlow thread in the Knife Lore forum, I'm just gonna put a link to my Barlow album here (while it's still working - Flickr's undergoing changes and they want $$$ soon).

https://www.flickr.com/photos/123828810 ... 5407714803

This is far from a comprehensive album of all my Barlows and there are duplicates scattered throughout but there's a good representation of what I've got.

(Can you tell I like Barlows?)

I like barlows, but tend to pass them by as the minty Case versions always bring more than I'm willing to shell out. I only have one barlow - and it's one of my fave's ...
