I think I have one some where........ at least my list says I do.

Does anyone have any mini-Barlows.
I will have to dig for mine, but I think I have a couple Hammer Brand (Imperial) ones...................................somewhere. THE LIST, says I have a 2" & a 3"

Dale

At least you have a list!! I must get organized!! As it is, I find mine by chance sometimes, only then remembering I had one!

I make lots of lists........I just forget where I put them.

Which is super scary when you know that they are all on my computer.

My list tells me I have 52 Barlows, (many far from mint), which means if I tried to find all of them, I might only find 48, due to trading some off, or I might find 65, due to being lazy and not entering them when I get them.

Such is the life of the modern, computerized, Good Ol' Boy.
You realize that just collecting pocket knives, makes us Good Ol' Boys?

Dale, Charlie, et al, you guys have some fabulous barlows! Dale-that's the first Ulster grand daddy I've seen, very nice! I think I've posted these somewhere on here recently, but I can't remember where. Sorry if I'm getting repetitious:

Nice Barlows guys!

ea42-
No problem with showing a fine Barlow again!

That DE is a nice one. I like the 80TH Anniversary Daddy Barlow as well as the Stuyvesant Daddy Barlow. Those are real sweethearts!

Does your GDOT have a serial number? They cane some with & some without. I real beauty! I some times EDC the one I have without the serial number. It is a great EDC & a real eye popper when you pull it out of your pocket.

Rusty-
I like that Mac Daddy Barlow. Great etch on the bolster.

Keep them coming guys!

I don't believe anyone has shown one of these in this thread.....

Well I finally worked up the courage to show my weak attempt at showing a barlow or two...

Here's a couple more barlow's

ea42 · Post by **ea42** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 1:12 am

Thanks Dale! The GDOT is serialized, #10440. I've actually been seriously EDC'ing the DE. Very useful on the job and the clipped bolsters and plastic handles don't make me feel bad if abuse them. It's a good knife, and once I reground the edge it cuts like gangbusters!
Sunburst- Weak attempt?!?

I wish I could put out a "weak" spread like that! VERY nice everyone!

I will trade you one of your "weak" (so called) Scagels for a nice scrimshaw Schrade.

Those Scagels are nice.

A Barlow is, IMHO, one of the most useful all around patterns. Even some of the less expensive old ones are great tools! They cut better than a lot of the new knives on the market today.

not a fancy knife but many were sold and used. imperial r.i. still tight and sharp.

All very nice. I especially liked the Scagel and the Schatt & Morgan.

steve · Post by **steve** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 10:02 pm

Johnnie,
There are so many of those still on the market, there has to be something "right" about them.
I still find (& buy) them in hardware stores occasionally. They seem to epitomize the Barlow concept; i.e., the quintessential working man's knife. Inexpensive, durable & sharp. I think the last one I paid full retail for was $6.99. It was a #278 & the 2004 MSRP was $6.95, (I was gouged 4¢).

Thanks Sunburst!
I'll admit I know more about photography than knife collecting. But I'm
closing the gap day by day.

orvet · Post by **orvet** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 2:38 pm

Here are a couple more. I don't think anyone had posted them yet.

One is a Boker Arbolito, made in Argentina.
The other is a Craftsman Barlow. I believe it was made by Schrade.

Paul M- I wish I could take pics like that. Nice knife & excellent picture!

Let's keep the pics coming guys, this is awesome

Very nice Dale, the Boker is really catching my attention..

Here are two Robesons that I really can't figure out if they are barlows or not...You be the judge and let me know..
