Nice schrades David.

That's what I was thinking.

[DM11]

Thank you KS81 and geocash.

A favorite Barlow:

Henckels Barlow #HK-16-B, carbon & bone, Boker Tree Brand Whittler #280, carbon & bone

[Old Hunter]

I can certainly see why your Henckels Barlow is a favorite - nice bone color! OH

[geocash]

Thanks, OH. It feels, at least to me, to be well-made, too.

Thought I'd carry one of my favorite Barlows. I don't know much about it but I reckon it was made in 1963 or before & I'm pretty sure it was well-made. But when I got it I dropped it, just one time, & you can see a little chip of bone is missing under the pin on the left. Sure, it bothers me but then I'm missing more chips than my knife.

And Geo, is your barlow a Queen ?
And QS, please ID your yellow friend.

Love that bone on the Barlow geocash. Love sawcut anyway, but the color is great too.

[geocash]

kj, that Barlow from earlier today is a Cattaraugus #2159, & thanks, Iman. The bones on that thing look old & warm.

[Corso]

couple of smalls today

neither is my fav EDC but they are pretty close

[Quick Steel]

kj, my knife is by David Boye. The blade is made of the dendritic cobalt steel he developed. Besides maintaining superb sharpness, it is rust proof; literally it cannot rust from even salt water. I will likley sharpen it soon. This will be the first time it will be sharpened after about 7 years of light to moderate use.

This #72 lockback and German pen knife traveled with me for a 3 day weekend of making wood bows with a few close friends in Michigan.

Greg,

That's a sharp pen knife but I can't quite make out the tang stamp.

I thought I might just carry another favorite Barlow. You can see some deep pitting on the steel bolster but most of the corrosion that came with it polished off of the blades & bolsters. The blades are tight, the springs are strong, the bone is good & it was made in the USA. I think Queen made the toothpick.

Boker USA #493 Barlow, carbon & bone, '98 Winchester #W15 1924 Toothpick, carbon & bone

Thanks geocash. Tang is stamped: Solingen Cutlery/B. Svoboda/ Germany
The shield and pattern look like a match to a larger Klaas whittler I have though.
