Dogs Head Barlow

The KA-BAR brand originated as a trademark of the Tidioute Cutlery Company. Tidioute was later taken over & renamed the Union Cutlery Company which continued making the brand until Union eventually adopted it as the company name in 1952. Cutco Corporation later acquired the company in 1996.

Dogs Head Barlow

Post by drm1017 »

Picked this up at a show Friday for no particular reason other than I liked the dogs head insert. And my wife liked it also. Probably will keep my eye out for more.
Regards,
Randy

I picked this one up a few years ago because of the Dog's head shield. Since then I've bought several with every one has great fit and finish. You got your first come back next year and tell us how many you have then :lol:

That's a fine looking piece there Randy. Congratulations. I think you'll enjoy having it. I only have one. I picked it up early in my accumulating, during my "one of everything" phase. (See, I have a stockman. :) )

I saw those as well Carrmilus, those are some beauties indeed! I believe that American chestnut on those dog's head knives is the from the same source that Canal Street got theirs from...beautiful wood!
