I've always liked um and don't hesitate to pick um up when I can. You know back in the day Barlows were kind of a poor boys knife. Not so much nowadays as they seem to be a hot pattern to collect. Here's a few that we're handy to take pics of. Got a good many more id have to dig out.

You guys have some real nice collections of Barlows. ::tu::

I found two to show for now. I've only got a few more than that.

Western
Robeson
I’m not a big Barlow fan, but that old Western! Man I like that one.

I have been wondering why on what must be the worlds most easily recognizable pattern do so many makers feel the need to stamp BARLOW on them?

This is far from a comprehensive album of all my Barlows and there are duplicates scattered throughout but there's a good representation of what I've got.

(Can you tell I like Barlows?)
Tony, Barlows may not aspirate my engine but I can't help but admire that excellent collection and the pictures are top shelf.

Tsar Bomba, I just reviewed your collection of Barlows and don't have the words to describe how impressed with it I am. I suppose magnificent will have to do as my impression. Loving that Boker at the bottom of your first page along with a score of others. Congratulations on your sustained effort to compile such a fine collection. ::ds::
