That walnut handle is beautiful...reminds me of cocobolo with that color streaking.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 12:02 amGood looking Barlow Mark. I like those older Ulster and Camillus Barlows.Working Edge wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 2:34 am Here is my lovely Ulster Old Timer Barlow which I found in a pawn shop in Gravette AR a few months ago.
This won't be an EDC due to the slightly wobbly blades, but still, it's a lovely old knife.

I picked this one up today. New in the box, one of the new Colonel Coon Barlows. Not sure who is making Colonel Coons now. This one makes me think of a Bear & Son somewhat. But it does have great snap, and decent fit and finish. Thought it would make a nice addition to my Barlow Box.

Far as I could research, it seems that's a USA made knife...heckuva nice knife and a good value..!!!

Appreciate it Mark. Yep, I figure for $32, it should be a decent EDC Barlow.Working Edge wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 1:24 am

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
I received this piece of Queen Ephemera today. It is the Box with Display for the Queen Steel #22 Barlow. This one is like knew with just a couple of slight creases in the back board, no major rubs and the die-cut straps to hold the knife for display have never been punched out. Here are some photos. I also included one with my 22 Barlow, but I didn't place it in the straps.

There’s something about the older sawcut bones on Barlows like yours , really wear well and believe they look better as time goes by with decent use .
Appreciate your sharing your pics

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Thanks JP, David and Smitty. I agree about the sawcut bone and Southington stamp. There is more yellow paint on the other side of the NYK Co. knife but I haven't messed with it.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Anyone know the meaning of " 90 Days" on this Imperial Mark Twain Barlow. Not my knife but a couple on Ebay right now.
Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
I would assume it is a safety awards knife, given if you made it 90 days without an accident.CluelessNick wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 7:25 pm Anyone know the meaning of " 90 Days" on this Imperial Mark Twain Barlow. Not my knife but a couple on Ebay right now.
