Cripple Creek Barlow Question

[MadTrapper]

Did CC ever make a standard Barlow (not a daddy Barlow) with a blade other than a spear point? Perhaps a clip or a lambsfoot? Also, were they always single blade? Thanks.

Not an expert,but Only spear blade main made,that I have seen***___ They did make two bladed Barlows,in a variety of handles** ___ there was a clip point CC made by GEC (2009) on their #25 pattern frame (3 1/2 inch) that had a clip blade** --- hope this helps ---- you can find some of the older models for sale, on e-bay most of the time

Thanks big monk that's helpful. Since posting this I did locate a 2 blade model but have yet to see anything with a main blade other than a spear. I'd not seen that GEC model.

Here's a pic of a set of 4 barlows with 4 various master blades. During the Bob Cargill Lockport IL and Old Fort TN era of Cripple Creek there were a variety of barlows 1, 2, and 3 blade with different master blades. Then, when Cripple Creek sold to Black Jack, there were one and two blade barlows in stag, brown, and strawberry bone that I understand were made by Queen. Then round about 2009 for a short period Cripple Creeks were being produced by Great Eastern. Attached a few other barlow pics.

Nice. Thanks for the info and pics bkazz5. Now that you posted it, I do recall having seen that Wounded Knee set somewhere in the past, just don't recall where.

I finally got around to pulling everything out of the gun safe and re-organizing it. This little gem has been MIA for about 10-years and was hiding in the safe that normally I don't keep knives. I didn't know where else to post it except here. Any thoughts on value? Tom

..don't know much about CC values, but I really like that one!!!..... ..........

Tom, just shooting in the dark here, but based on the sticker on your knife, maybe $52 ?

Ok maybe not............

Phil - thanks for the great laugh, I truly needed that!

This knife was one of the first non-Scout knives that I ever purchased. There used to be a small cutlery shop in downtown Hartford Connecticut that I liked to stop in and the owner told me that one day this would be a very collectible knife. I always liked it and hence was disappointed when she went MIA.
