All About Pocket Knives

trail wrote:Great barlows, every one. Big Monk, that Bear is a fine looking knife. I think the reason it has two pins is because it is bare-headed. Looking at the Bear Catalog for 2009, I think all the Barlows have two pins, except the yellow handle 4th Generation which has 3.

Thanks Trail I only have a few of the Bear & Son,but I'm impressed with the quality,and price !!!!! Have you used one for a long period of time ???? I was just wonderin' ,how the scales ,hold up ??,since they use the one pin / glued on process ???????

Here is a few of my barlows I dug up.

A couple of mine..........



This ones been weeeeeeeeeell used. Belonged to my father-in-law who grew up on a ranch in Colorado and passed away last year.

I thought it was time to add some BIG DADDY Barlow's by S&M.

I am just a softy to the black S&Ms on the bolsters.

Monk, I was on a mission in a knife rich environment.

gino, I like that Boker. What do you think of it so far?

Mike, I really like it. It has a little thinner of a profile and that really makes it feel good in the hand.

I may have to find one of those for myself! Perry was carrying one like that too awhile back...

Yes, this was his. He was kind enough to trade it with me. Perry is a great guy!

Just can't beat those old barlows. Here are a couple of Cripple Creeks. A 6th annual AECA and the Blood Brothers set.

Those are some fine looking knives you guys are posting. I"m glad to see this thread revived once again.

The first pocket knife my father bought me was an Imperial barlow...44 years later it is still in my collection and in fact still in my EDC rotation. Next to it is a much newer Boker in red washboard bone.



Some of the other barlows in my collection...



Here is a favorite, Queen/S&M and my all time favorite a Fight'n Rooster One Handed...

Here are some Bulldog Brand barlows that I just got in but they did not last long. They are headed to sunny California.
