Did Buck ever make a Barlow?

[MadTrapper]

If so, what was the model #? USA made? Thanks much.

Yes they did. I have a Buck Grand Daddy Barlow. Guessing by the way it looks it was made for them by Camillus. I'll see if I can find it and post a picture for you.

Much appreciated goldpan! Thank you.

They were made by Camillus as an SFO for Smoky Mountain Knife Works. The yellow handled ones are rare birds. Made both large and small barrows.

Here ya go! Hope the model numbers on the box are readable.

Thanks much useem and goldpan. That's what I was looking for. I thought that Buck had in fact made a Barlow but they're not so easy to find.

Here is some good information (and photo's) posted recently on the Buck Forum at Blade concerning the Buck Barlow knives. OH

Yes, that link has a overview of the Buck marked Barlow info. We must be precise in the answer to MudTrappers question "Did BUCK ever make a Barlow." They were in fact made by Camillus, via special order to be sold by Smokey Mountain Knife Works with Buck on the bolsters. Notice none had model numbers stamped on the tangs. Camillus would make them ship them to Buck and Buck would re-box them and send them to SMKWs. Only sold a short time and not many were made. Check out the link for more details and photos of all of them. Camillus had some close copies of this design they sold with their own markings. And more than likely some other peoples markings as well. I think I am pretty close with my best guess of 1,000 each or less were made. But, I have a hunch much less than that of the jigged bone were made.
