All About Pocket Knives

Anybody collect BARLOW knives?

If you've got em, it's time to show em.

Let's see how many different makers and variations are out there!

Cool! Here are a few big fellas:

Eric

I just have the one... Its a Parker with damascus blade and stag handles.. It came as part of the set for the first Case Classic XXX..

yes

Whatever Queen was using to dye those Barlows in your last pic, Johnnie, they hit a home run! I have one too, and they are just beautiful! Nice collection!

Did someone say Barlow?

Nice Barlows guys. I'm looking forward to getting a large barlow out of the mail in the next couple of days. Wish it had pretty Red bone handles on it though. Who could love big knifes and not like a Granddaddy barlow?

the 43 is about the only one I ever cared for...

This is one of my favorites. An older style Case Tested, with flat beveled bolsters and a cool blade!

Great stuff so far guys, but I know there's a lot more out there waiting to be shown.

Dale, I like the modernized look of that Al Mar. Do my eyes decieve me or is it a lockback barlow?

Charlie, all I can say is

Keep em coming!

I don't have any fancy old knives like you guys do, but here's my contribution been posted before, but I love to show em off



Northfield in stab. blackwood, Tidioute in some really freaky mammoth Ivory

I really like those fancy springs/liners Dale

I like those GECs! They are the perfect coin pocket knife!

Here are some more older ones; 4 old Russells, and a Camillus repro at the bottom.

Here's my little collection; you guy's have some nice one's. Upnorth, love that old Case with flat bolsters.

Great knives, guys. Man, that Tested Case set my heart to throbbing. What...A...Knife.

Here are ten Robeson Barlows. Sorry for the size of those first three photos. I do not know why they are so large.

Here are some more Robesons, and two Terriers, one with "TCC" embossed bolsters.

Now that I have finally figured out how to post these pictures, here are a couple more Barlows I have.

Philco- Thanks for all the help on getting pictures posted.

#1 is a Russell Barlow 1875-1975 Commemorative Issue
#2 SC506 Dark Covers, 19 SCHRADE 83 Shield
#3 SC506 Scrimshaw
#4 Schrade USA 206
#5 Schrade 506, Single Blade, Brass Bolsters

This last one is an SC506, however, it has only a single blade versus two like the other Barlows I have posted and it also has brass bolsters. Anyone have a comment on this particular one??

Now that I can post pictures, I'll work on taking better pictures.
Double click the photo to enlarge.

Here's a C.F. Wolfertz ( I have 7 of these with different blades or different stampings ) and another Wolfertz with an Ulster baby barlow.

Nice collection of Robesons Charlie! Very comprehensive!
You wouldn't take a right arm for that Terrier would ya??
I carried a Robeson Barlow for years. Here's a pic of it with a Case. Note how it is more pocket-friendly, with the eased shape.
It's a nice carry. I appreciate Robeson's "pocketease" philosophy!

Here is a pearl Baldwin, new orleans

Thanks, UpNorth.
Most of Robeson's barlows were made on a true sleeveboard frame with rounded bolsters. I've seen catalog images of the one with squared off bolsters still carrying the "RCC" embossing. I've never had an opportunity to buy one like that. What a find that would be.
The two blade Terrier with the "TCC" bolsters is really rare I think. I've shown it to avid Barlow collectors and none have ever seen one like it. That knife came off Ebay.

The ivoroid handled Robeson with the "RCC" embossed bolsters and the spey master blade is a good rare one too. I don't think that knife was ever used or sharpened, but it does have some pitting/staining one would expect in a ninety-three to ninety-nine year old carbon steel knife. I love the glazed finish on the blades of that knife.

Uh......I have a good right arm. I have no use for another. And, no, the Terrier is not for sale.

Nice Baldwin, Kaleb!

"I Cut Keen"

Left arm, Charlie??

Sadly, I have no Barlows now but I have to buy one soon because it's drivin me crazy.
You guys have real Barlow beauties.

thanks Charlie C
