Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Drooling over stag is kind of humbling...
I love the stag on each of those knives for a different reason. That clip-point seems to be a "second cut" perhaps? The knobby stag on the Wharnie is just awesome and I love that heavy burn on the sheepsfoot's handles. Those are all on the #69 frame, right? I think there's a trick of the angle on the middle unstamped knife making it look almost shorter than the other two.
Teriffic trio! I'm going to have to go work off this envy.
Lansky and Duffer, you have got some fantastic Barlows there as well. Appy and Schrades, something I can't get enough of in a Barlow!

Cuz!
Wonder if Wolfertz changed manufacturers at one point. Pins different, pulls different, stamps different.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
That's a killer display!
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
VERY COOL !!!
I am intrigued by two of the barlows shown in the drawing (1st photo): the one at the top appears to have a sheepfoot blade and the sixth one down appears to have a wharncliffe blade. Those two really spark my interest.
In the 2nd photo, the third one down from the top looks like it has a wharncliffe blade?

At this point I just use his posts as a checklist/Barlow bucket list for knives to find. Especially the "PERSONAL COLLECTION NOT FOR SALE" ones.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Sanders knives thanks for sharing photos of your great barlow collection. They are prime.

No I don't. I honestly don't have very many Daddy Barlows.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Matt, have to agree with Dimitri, what a fantastic collection of vintage Barlows. I did see a Gardner in that display case, here is an unusual unfinished one.
