Again, too lazy to list them all, but I'm sure everyone will recognize most of them by sight. J.O'.

I just fished a Boker 495 outa the bay.
It has some discoloration on the pile side cover but the blades look nice.
It needs a good clean-up and then it will go in my Barlow collection.

Nice! I was given mine, and it seems to be one of the more uncommon ones. Boker Barlows in general are a little spendy. I kinda lean more towards Kutmaster (since they're cheap AND solid bolster), Imperial (because they're cheap and common--I have three now), and Colonial (which I own no Barlows, but several Ranger Stockmen) as they are rather inexpensive, and common. And, something I'm never afraid to carry and use.

I got another Robeson by Queen Barlow. I am working on trying to collect them all. I have another one coming next week w/ sawcut bone. This one is strawberry bone.
Here is a look at some of my Barlow’s. I don’t have my TC Barlow’s in with these, I have them with my other GEC knives. Between Congress’s and Barlow’s it’s a fierce competition in my collection.

Thanks Mike.
Here is the sawcut bone RCC I bought last week, it arrived today. The prices on acquiring these is getting high. Higher than most of my GEC’s.

Nice Ivoryman, Very nice group of Barlows.

I got in another RCC, Robeson Cutlery, by Queen. This one is the Granddad Barlow with smooth red bone handles. I love that RCC on the bolsters. I can’t resist these Barlows.

David, I bought it for my collection. But I am always willing to sell most any knife I own. I did pay a lot for this one, probably more than I should have.

That probably means more than I could pay.
But it sure is a beautiful knife!

Hey Cudgee , that’s a good looking piece, do you EDC that one ?
For some reason out of all the knifes laying around here only have 3 Barlows,and of course they are Camillus. It’s a very nice pattern and have been looking for a #9 Daddy short line with bone for over a year .
Was neat to read thru the pages here and see some dandies !!
