The Venerable Old Barlow
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Few old ones and 1 new barlow, all with jigged bone handles. Jigged bone not as common as saw cut or smooth bone on the vintage barlows.

A beautiful selection of vintage Barlows, John. What is the spear-point with the long pull? I couldn't quite make out the stamp...

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Comparing with what is a newer Schrade-built Barlow, I think you're right. The pins are correct and from the angle the bolster looks right. I don't have a spearpoint Schrade to compare blades but everything else matches up. It's a real nice-looking Barlow!JohnR wrote:Thanks Tony, its only marked High Carbon Steel, I think it was made for Sears by Schrade.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hey Matt, I very sorry about my posting earlier on pg#38 talking about the "wrong way Z" as EVERYTHING is just the opposite Sir,,,I got confused until I ran across that Sam'L with an original Catalog Picture,,,So Goin's Book is showing the Correct "Z" trademark too. I am not able to revise/edit my Post about the "Wrong way Z's" on Page#38 or I would do so. Thanks everyone for not getting Mad at my mistake, I do Sincerely apologizeSanders Knives wrote:I don't have anything to add other than a picture of one I have with the Z going the opposite direction.

Killer knife Matt and the "Z" is going the CORRECT way, LOL and its got that Beautiful Extended Bolster too Not to mention a curved look and a blunt style blade,,,Really a neat piece bud

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Finally found a stag S&M Barlow with spear point blade to complete my little S&M #69 sub-collection.
He seems quite at home with his brothers...with a very happy father!

Q: Beautiful. A truly stunning collection.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Q, really like those S&M, beautiful barlows.
Added a couple old ones this, both with sheepsfoot mains, a bone Boker and a Schrade Cut Co. The Schrade has been customized with notches.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Picked up another Queen 50th Anniversary Barlow, really love the bone on these knives. They were made in 1972.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Wow great barlows, one of my favorite patterns.

Tony, I usually find these for around 50 bucks or so, I've seen them go for more but I won't pay the higher prices.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Here is a well worn Keeneredge Barlow made for C.M. McClung Company in Knoxville, TN. Keeneredge was one of the McClung trade names. Anyone have any idea who may have manufactured this knife for C.M. McClung?
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Nice find, shape of bolster and pin placement I'm thinking Camillus may have made it, pic of Camillus and a K-BAR.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Man I love these Barlows Keep showing them fellas! Here is an oldie. I would say hard to find. An early Landers Frary & Clark with Bakelite handles. Bakelite was commercially available at the time that LF&C started up. Iron bolsters and liners. Spear point master and pen secondary. That pen has been sharpened to where it looks like a wharncliffe. The master did not get used nearly as much as the pen. Nice old Barlow

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hello, I have had a few of these CM Mclung knives in the past. The one I am most familiar with is the 4 1/4" white bone Large Cigar pattern w/ Brass screws. I have seen this particular knife several times and it was made by Miller Bros. Now thats Not to say that ALL CM McClung knives are made by Miller but some were. I am sure other US companies made Mclung knives too. I hope this helps!!mountainad82 wrote:Here is a well worn Keeneredge Barlow made for C.M. McClung Company in Knoxville, TN.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hey Guys, Couldnt resist myself but to post this FRARY "Our Boy" knife. Looks similar to a barlow pattern I know but doesnt have the extended bolsters,,,so likely was just a boys knife. Anyways,,,I still intrigue in finding unusual FRARY Knives. They are tuff to come by. One of my friends has a knife just like this knife but its the 1-BLADE version. Pretty cool huh. I do think the handles are Pewter also & its 2 9/16" closed
