The Venerable Old Barlow

[cudgee]

Here's a recent acquisition, a regular schrade cut barlow in good condition, barely sharpened. The etch reads "beighley hdwe & tool co".

Mate that is a sensational acquisition

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.

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.

Thanks Mr. Dan for the Nice Compliments!!
How about an old Keen Kutter to shake up this thread
Kindest Regards,
Mark

That's a beauty, E.C. Simmons too!

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

[Waukonda]

Here are a couple.....Russell from the Harrington era and the Robeson has the 1922-39 tang stamp.

Beautiful pair of barlows, Ike!

When the mood strikes to carry a barlow I like this old schrade. It's been around the block a few times. The center pin was broken (probably for many years) and Dale
fixed it up for me.

[1967redrider]

Great looking Schrade and nice work, Dale, in fixing up that beauty.

That's a nice old Barlow Paul.
It has the honor and dignity of hard work.

I think the 1 or 2 blade Barlow style knife is one of the best pocket knives ever. I have 30 ranging from the mini to grand daddy Barlows in my collection. The picture is a display of about half of them.

[1967redrider]

Cool display case!


Might as well post my Remington trio here too.

[TPK]

Looks very nice David!!! Never seen that type of display case. That's really "High Speed" to put it in old Army slang.

Excellent trio of Barlow knives 1967redrider.

Looks very nice David!!! Never seen that type of display case. That's really "High Speed" to put it in old Army slang.

Thank you, that is 1 shelf of the glass cabinet with a mirror back. Here is a pic of all the shelves in my home office and the jewelers cabinet in the middle that is full of knives.
