When the mood strikes to carry a barlow I like this old schrade. It's been around the block a few times. The center pin was broken (probably for many years) and Dale
fixed it up for me.

I think the 1 or 2 blade Barlow style knife is one of the best pocket knives ever. I have 30 ranging from the mini to grand daddy Barlows in my collection. The picture is a display of about half of them.

Thank you, that is 1 shelf of the glass cabinet with a mirror back. Here is a pic of all the shelves in my home office and the jewelers cabinet in the middle that is full of knives.

Trying to revive old Barlows these are users that I have in rotation.my favorite is the long line Camillus because of the flush joints'the Boker is my favorite looker and the Colonial can be used at anytime . All three have great steel and hold a keen edge.

gdogg, I have always thought the stamped bolster of the "Treebrand" Barlow was an eye catcher. ::nod:: The only one I have has a steel bolster.
