All About Pocket Knives

There were two designs, a large Barlow and a smaller Barlow, but both were identical except for their size.

Anyway, I clicked on the link to the Patton Museum located at Ft Knox and filled out the purchase form for the large Barlow. I gave a 'donation' for the knife. These knives were commissioned through RHC and the knives were made by Bear & Sons out of Alabama. 100 of each were made.

I believe they did a really nice job on these knives...at least I'm very pleased with the one I received. I'll eventually end up gifting it to my Son in Law who was in the Army, albeit, he was never stationed at Ft Knox. But it will be a nice memento for him.

Thanks for looking...

First up is this absolute banger from LKSKNIVES (Steve). It's a Fox Cutlery with ebony scales. Half stops and rock solid snap on both blades. Really excellent condition on a fantastic knife. Steve also kindly included a Syracuse pen knife and another project knife in the box, which arrived with lightning speed. I reached out to other members of the forum to help with fair pricing and I would like to thank them for their time and input and for helping me to bring this lovely piece home. I can't say enough about how easy and pleasurable it is to work with Steve, thanks again buddy.

Next up is this Van Camp EO also with ebony. This knife came in smelling of fresh ocean breeze, but certainly not on island time. It shipped from Hawaii on the same day as the other, which came from the next state over, and they arrived same day. Riddle me that. Any who, this knife is mechanically sound and full of character, an excellent addition to my carry rotation. Couldn't be happier with my purchase or buying experience from QTCut5.

The Fit & Finish is much better than the US made Bear& Son Ft Know commemorative that I also received today.

I received my copy today and was a little disappointed to discover the stop on the back of the blade was not fitted correctly so that the blade doesn't open fully. When open, the blade is tilted like a Kukri.
