Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hello Rob looking good on the barlows. It is a never ending task to find all the makers. you will soon want to find all blade styles with each brand, clip, razor, spey, sheepfoot & spear blades. It never ends but the hunt is fun and addicting.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Haha, I know you are right, I already have 2 Ulster and 2 keen kutter with different blade styles. It's a great hobbyDARRELL MAINES wrote:Hello Rob looking good on the barlows.

As far as I'm aware there is no restriction on messages for non-premium accounts. Bryan, has that changed?
To keep the thread on track, here's a curious and well-loved Kutmaster advertising Barlow. I suspect it's a salesman's sample:

Picked up this Matthew Furness this week, unusual in that it has had little use and still shows original grind marks on blades and bolsters. Seller stated that it had been found in the wall of a fallen down cabin in PA. Not marked England, thinking this one is 1860's to 1880's.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
This is an Imperial shell handled Barlow that I just finished customizing just for the "halibut". Used the blades and springs from the original, made new liners, bolsters, elk stag rehandle. I went with kind of a "faceted" bolster look with domed pivot pin. Am now toting it in my pocket.
