Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Any of you old Barlow guys recognize this Bolster stamp? I thought it was NYKC at first but its similar but different. I like to take cheap gambles on BIN lots on eBay at times, have this mystery knife on the way.
Looks like a full length drawn swedge on the pile side which ive seen on some old knives like Furness etc.

Mark - that Barlow is a beauty! I really like the pocket polishing on the bone. Even the worn blades wound up with a cool profile!

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hey Guys, This is just a Quick Story & is one of the Reasons Why I LOVE AAPK & have been a long time supporter. Not only can we help our New knife collectors steer clear of fakes on ebay through the "Counterfeit Forum". We can RANT about Ebay & their stupid policies & We can Share knives & Knowledge with those who love them like we do.
I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Mr. DARRELL MAINES for helping me out this last Xmas. Most of you guys know I am a poor guy & barely make ends meat most years, Some years are better. This last Xmas I was dead broke & sold all my knives & had to reach into my "Sentimental Stuff" for a knife to SELL so I could buy my kids Xmas Gifts. I contacted Darrell & asked him if he would be interested in My Grandpas Russell Barlow that was given to me before his passing 10yrs ago. Darrell said of course & bought a few more old knives that I had put back. The Russell meaning the most too me & the funds received went to a WONDERFUL Christmas for my kids.
I got into better financial shape this year & I called Darrell and asked him if perhaps he still had my grandpa's Russell & He said of course he did as he put it back aside with my name on it. Guy's I told Darrell when I sold it too him that its his knife to do with as he pleases. This is the kind of MEN we have all over aapk & the knife World. I always consider everyone "Family" because that is who I am. A Christian, Proud USA American Father of 2 & a Son of an Honorable USMC Marine 70-76.
I hope you guys will give Mr. Maines a Pat on the back for me. This gesture meant A LOT too ME & was a selfless act on Mr. Maine's part. I feel very Blessed to be able to express my Happiness on aapk & all it has done for me over the years. Thank you Mr. Darrell for ALWAYS being a Stand up guy.
Kindest Regards & Blessings to ALL

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
I've recently picked up 2 Furness barlows, 3 3/8" and 3 1/2" with decent blades considering. The larger knife has excellent blade snap. Including a picture of the information from Goins related to Furness barlows.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Nice story, Mark, and kudos to Darrell Maines!
Great find, redrider! That pair is certainly true to the wording of this thread, venerable! I would love to find one of those old Sheffield barlows.

Beautiful Keen Kutter, Mark! How about posting it in the Keen Kutter thread. It hasn't surfaced for awhile.
