That's long overdue...now, if they make nice (non-SMKW-looking, guady scales) it can be even better

Re: Barlow Returns!!
The most recent Case Barlows are pattern x2009 (x2009 1/2 for clip master blade), 3 3/8" closed length. Technically there could be a x1009 (1/2) but one-blade 009 Barlows seem to be rarer than hen's teeth, if in fact any exist.Modern Slip Joints wrote:What pattern number are they or how long are they when closed?

With any luck they will run some more 62009R (one-armed man or "razor" blade) which I don't think we've seen from Case since the early '70s. Make red sawcut bone great again!
SHC I believe is Shepherd Hills Cutlery, a knife retailer.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
I avoid following links from one site to another so I went directly to Shepherd Hills Cutlery. I found both 62009 1/2 and 61009 listed as being back ordered. I assume that they sold a significant number of 61009 spear point Barlows while they had them. Is it only the clip point 61009 1/2 that you haven't been able to find?Tsar Bomba wrote:The most recent Case Barlows are pattern x2009 (x2009 1/2 for clip master blade), 3 3/8" closed length.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
The Case® Barlow, a traditional favorite, will be previewed to the public at the 2019 SHOT Show, taking place in Las Vegas from January 22 – 25.
^^ This taken directly from the SHC web page.
All 7 knives on the page are "backordered", so I would presume
they will not release any of them until after (or during) the SHOT Show ....
Looks like they're taking a page from GEC's bullsnot selling tactics ......
This is purely speculation on my part, based solely on the available information.
Feel free to dispute this theory.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
Any time CASE takes a knife out of the vault they debut it at the Shot Show then it hits the market..
Don't know what you mean by "GEC bullsnot selling tactics" ?? GEC makes limited amount of a run.. CASE does not do this..

Re: Barlow Returns!!
In case anyone besides me is up and checking emails this morning, Shepherd Hills Cutlery is taking orders on the Pilot Test Run Barlow. 2 blades and natural smooth bone. Better hurry, the last pilot test run I saw ran out in under 1/2 hour.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
Thanks for the heads up, ordered one of the blue Rogers bone with single Spear blade from Shepherd Hills; been needing that variation of barlow and I like the bolster etch as well. OH

Re: Barlow Returns!!
FYI, CK has these on earlier reserve and they are a bit less expensive than Shepherd Hills. But Shepherd Hills got the Pilot test run of the smooth natural bone. I don’t see those at CK.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
I like everything about that one too. Resisting the urge because I don't really need any new knives. Sure is nice though.Old Hunter wrote:Thanks for the heads up, ordered one of the blue Rogers bone with single Spear blade from Shepherd Hills; been needing that variation of barlow and I like the bolster etch as well.

The SHC website has me confused. In the header they state that these will be "previewed to the public" at the SHOT Show in January yet they state that this model and some others are shipping this week. Anybody know what that's all about?

Re: Barlow Returns!!
I think the Pilot Test Run smooth natural bone is shipping the first week of January. The rest are going to be released in Jan and maybe some in February. If CK and SHC have them for sale, I don’t think you will have any trouble getting ahold of one of these. With the exception of the pilot test run, that one will be limited. And it is no longer listed as available on SHC website. Two are showing that they will ship this week, don’t think I would take “this week” literally. The navy bone and the Caribbean blue bone are the two. I am holding out to buy the curly maple and the bonestag along w/ the natural smooth bone I already ordered. I learned a long time ago that when you can get the 1st production or pilot test run from Case, you are wise to buy those.Railsplitter wrote:I like everything about that one too.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
This is what CK has to say on their Early Reserves page for the Case 2019 Barlow run:
Anticipated prices are also listed on the Early Reserves page. There is no Test Pilot run available through CK.These are all TruSharp and essentially as-pictured. They are not taking orders until Shot Show (end of January); so I don’t really have a delivery date and details are subject to change.
But I think we have enough information to offer reservations on them.
Everything's better with a Barlow
Re: Barlow Returns!!
Just picked a 2 blade pilot test run off of EBay, there were 4 of them and they were going fast.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
My Case 61009 SS Blue Rogers Barlow came yesterday, I was very surprised because I never got a shipment notice from Shepherd Hills Cutlery - I thought SHC was still waiting on Case to manufacture the knife. Those folks don't mess around with a knife order! The blades have very nice W&T (a snappy "6" both ways), nice F&F, an even deep blue color on evenly jigged bone (in my pictures the pile side color is correct - the mark side color is darker in the picture than in reality). Backspring pressure is even on open and on close (this knife has half-stops). Blade is "using sharp" right out of the box; box marked as packaged on 12/13/18 but tang is stamped for 2019. The bolster stamp is very smooth (only black in the picture - I don't think it is your everyday etch if it is an etch). Case did themselves proud on this re-introduction of the traditional Case Barlow - there is nothing not to like about his knife! Happy New Year! OH

Re: Barlow Returns!!
That's a real beauty, Bruce! I seem to recall you have a fondness for Case blue bone, and that is a fine example.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
Thanks Mike! You recall correctly, I used to collect blue bone Case pocketknives- not avidly anymore but if I buy a modern Case and blue bone is a choice, that’s the one I pick. By the way, this knife has great action, been using it all day. Cut the pork roast from the package, been opening boxes in my shop, etc. OH

Re: Barlow Returns!!
Wow Bruce that is one nice looking knife. Now I’m excited about the mail coming. Hopefully my natural smooth bone Barlow will be here today.Old Hunter wrote:My Case 61009 SS Blue Rogers Barlow came yesterday, I was very surprised because I never got a shipment notice from Shepherd Hills Cutlery - I thought SHC was still waiting on Case to manufacture the knife.

I am really fond of Rogers jigging, and that one is really well done.

Re: Barlow Returns!!
My natural smooth bone 2 blade Barlow came today. This is much better looking in person than in the photos. The photos on SHC’s website had me questioning whether I should buy this one, but now that I have it, I am glad I did. The natural smooth bone is speckled w/ black flecks in the natural bone, it is top notch. Really glad this is back in production.
