Nice ones,Joe....I really like that first display.

Here's a baby Bower barlow (2-3/4" long) .

Lets all look at some Ka Bar Barlow. I may have some Jacks in here and have them listed wrong.

Please correct me if I have any errors.

Nice knives Ken

Tim

Here are a couple. No duplicates & the Case's are in a different display. I kinda like Barlows too.

Hi Big Barn. Welcome to AAPK.

Looks like a great collection of BARLOWS you have there. Any chance of some closer in photos so we can see a little more detail?

Phil

Welcome to AAPK big barn, awesome barlow collection!

Sorry for the lousey picture - camera phone. If there's anything in particular I can get a closer picture of it or maybe in a group? I doesn't help much, but when I click on the photo I get a larger image with a zoom-in feature. Still fuzzy though.

Wow....nice barlows and awesome displays!!

Welcome BigBarn. Nice showing. Did you make that case?

No the case is a hardware store display for 'Case' knives. It didn't have the orginal display board so I made one to fit. It is a little larger than it looks - there are three locking drawers for storage below.

Finally got around to snapping a pic of the Barlows that I currently have:

Top to bottom: Camillus "Tip Top", Camillus #50, Colonial "Old Cutler", and Queen


And here are a couple of the one my dad carried while he was in Vietnam (not sure of the maker--the stamp has rusted out--probably an Imperial or Colonial?):

The Top two Barlows in the top picture give me SERIOUS knife envy!

NOR,

I just wrote up a comparison of the two with more pics in the camillus forum--take a look.

Here is an old Nathan Kastor Germania Cutlery Works Barlow. Got some pretty "plain jane" horn handles on it and maybe the strongest backspring of any knife I`ve ever handled. Man you guys sure have some pretty fancy dandies in this thread.....thanks for showing them....

Bob

That is pretty dandy right there trutemper!

Dang at all the Barlows! I've only got one in my little knife collection.
Here's my schrade...

Thanks Dave!

You are most welcome Trutemper! I just LOVE Spearpoint blades!!!!

Yup, I`m partial to spearpoints too....I suppose since I`m old as the hills and so many of the older knife companies seemed to favor the spearpoint blades as a master blade. Somthing very noble and "old timey" about spearpoints.

Bob

Here are two other cases of Barlows. The table top CASE display are all Case barlows. T he other 3 tier are misc brands. Again, no two the same. I kinda like the Barlow pattern.

Those displays look great, BB.

Morglan, that old Barlow that your Dad Carried looks to be an old Hammer Brand knife. Nice collection of Barlows!

Bob

Those Hammer Brand knives, (the shell handles) were made by Imperial.
Nice to have the knife your dad carried.
I still have the Camillus TL-29 I carried in Vietnam.
It was issued to me by the Marine Corps.
