It looks more like a Folding Hunter than a Barlow to me.

I don't care what anybody says, that is not a barlow.

Even a Granddaddy Barlow would be a stretch, from the picture, in my opinion.

I agree, not my definition of a Barlow. But then, I wouldn’t call the Camillus 72 a “whittler” either. But they did.

I think your description is very apt. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when it arrives.

Hoping it shows up before Wednesday.

Just learned something new about Weed & Co.- Mr. Gilbert _________ who bought the Queen machinery and moved it to Ohio, is also making new Schatt & Morgan and Col. Coon knives.

Interesting ….

Y'all must have missed this old thread https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 20&t=68838

I did, thanks Ken.

Well, what would you guys do if this was your $175 knife?

Send it back!

What he said. Send it back right quick and in a hurry.

Well that’s not a very good start for this new endeavor .

Yeah, now starts the process of emailing Cutlery Corner to get the exchange/refund ball rolling.

That should have never made it through. Send it back to cutlery corner and also private message me your address and I’ll get you a replacement out ASAP.

Are you a principal in this endeavor?

Will do and thank you very much!

I emailed Cutlery Corner this morning but haven't heard back from them yet regarding their return procedure. Will PM you now.

That’s a disappointment, especially at that price point. Hopefully it’s just an anomaly and fit and finish is much better than illustrated by that example.

I just picked up this from Frank's Classic Knives, hoping for better luck of the draw-

Schatt & Morgan First Run--Weed & Company Hardware Store and Cutlery Red Jig Bone Trapper.
$ 125.00

Introducing the new Schatt & Morgan produced at it's new factory location in Winchester Ohio and owned by Gilbert Cooper. Please join me in welcoming the factory's official first run---The Weed & Company Hardware and Cutlery (circa 1818) Trapper. It is 4.1" closed. Beautiful Red Jigged Bone. Weed & Co Etch. Tang Stamped Weed & Co, Winchester Ohio, 2021. We will see a lot more Weed & Company knives in the future. This run includes a Hunter and a Two Blade Trapper and each come in four different handles. All will be listed on my store.

The one's selling at Frank's Classic went like last Winter's snow!

Those Weed trappers look to be nice knives, but at over double the price of a basic Case bone handled trapper, they should be pretty nice.

One interesting thing - the tooling for those looks nothing like the tooling used by Queen/Schatt for their trappers - look at the Queen #19 trapper, the Weed trapper frame and blades are a lot different.

The frame and blade tooling for the Weed trapper to me looks more like the tooling used by Boker on their Asian-sourced knives.

May not mean much, but I find it interesting since Cooper Cutlery is said to be using the old Queen/Schatt tooling. I just don't see it.

Might explain this quote from a prior post in this thread.

"Parts were sourced with foreign and domestic parts. All parts assembled in USA."



IIRC the lower priced Böker line uses parts made in Asia (China?) and assembled in Germany.

I agree. Don’t look nothing like a Queen trapper. Blade shapes are way off. To me these weed knives just look “off” to me. To each is own though and if some folks like um more power to um.

It's a bummer you got that one John, Gilbert was still working out the kinks in his company.
He has to train up an entire staff from scratch, so there is always going to be issues with some of them; it's the nature of the business.
I guess He feels ready to go full run with it now, I wish all the best to Him!

Matter of fact, I've aboslutely fallen in love with his German Hunter, buffalo horn, matchstriker long pull,

Brother Mark is helping me out, ordered me one here from Franks. Fingers crossed that's it's what I'm hoping for; I can live with some slight funkiness, as long as it doesn't take-away from the knife itself...

There certainly is one being sent. Just not seeing any connection with the good start up story and traditional knives...
