Lovely.

I snagged myself a Wostenholm IXL Barlow this morning.

Sellers pic..... it looks pretty good I guess.

It needs a good clean-up.

[doglegg]

Looks like it has lived a full life with a lot left. I bet it looks pretty good after clean up as well.

It looks great! Nice pickup.

To answer the OP directly, I have never had any "love" for the Barlow knives, however, I do have some sentimental attachment as I had Barlows as a kid.
Bought at the local service station, from a card hanging behind the counter, for a dollar if I remember correctly. They do fit in with my hoard of pocket knives, because I prefer to gather in "working men's" knives, rather than high-end collectables.

Neat old one, LF&C single clip with checkered hard rubber covers.

Outstanding. That bottom left one is beautiful. Love the bolsters on that.

Got another addition to my Barlow collection. It’s a Robeson by Queen red bone stag Barlow. Just thought I would take a group shot of all the RCC knives and a group shot of my Barlow collection

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Going to post this one here. Not sure if this is a Barlow or not? This is one knife from the latest collection I purchased that I am keeping for my own collection. I have never come across this pattern before. I really like this pattern. There were 2 of these in the collection, one is posted for sale in my store.

Beautiful collection brother!

And yes, it is a true barlow.
The large barlow is the oldest knife pattern of them all; 4000+ years (ancient Egyptians). My favorite is "Granddaddy Barlow". Thank you Case!

A very beautiful knife, but I would not call it a barlow.

I agree David, it's a very beautiful example...

But I kindly disagree that "it's not a barlow". The barlow pattern IMHO, is the frame design. You can chonk any blade/combo in there, and it will still be a barlow, to me atleast...

Thoughts?
