Japanese "BARLOW" Knives.

[New_Windsor_NY]

These two money clip style pocket knives arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I purchased. These two particular money clip style pocket knives were NOT the targets of my purchase. They are both identical, BARLOW JAPAN, single blade, single tool (file), 1 1/16" X 2 1/8" closed, single tang stamp, money clip style pocket knives. Each one has the same, identical, tang stamp, "BARLOW - STAINLESS - JAPAN." They are both in VERY GOOD condition. They both required a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

They are both BARLOW, they both have two blades, they both have a single tang stamp, they both measure 2 3/4" closed, both are all metal pocket knives. The main blade tang stamp on each pocket knife reads, "BARLOW - STAINLESS - JAPAN." They are both in EXCELLENT condition. I took some pictures and here they are.

This money clip style pocket knife arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I purchased. This particular money clip style pocket knife was NOT the reason for my purchase. This is my third, BARLOW JAPAN, single blade, single tool (a file), 1 1/16" X 2 1/8" closed, single tang stamp, money clip style pocket knife. The other two money clip pattern or style, "BARLOW" pocket knives have been previously posted under this topic or thread. The tang stamp says, "BARLOW - STAINLESS - JAPAN" It is in VERY GOOD condition. It did need a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This money clip and or lobster style of pocket knife arrived recently in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. This particular pocket knife was NOT the reason for my purchasing the group or lot. However, as it turned out, it is a keeper and will make a nice addition to my general, foreign made, pocket knife collection. It is a BARLOW, one blade, one tool (a file), 1 1/16" X 2 1/8" closed, one stamp below the clip, one tang stamp, money clip and or lobster style of pocket knife. It may have had an advertising insert at one time. But it definitely does not have one now. The main blade front tang stamp has the letter "B" inside a circle. On top of the circle is a curved or arched "STAINLESS" On the bottom of the circle is a curved or arched "JAPAN" The "B" in a circle, "STAINLESS" and "JAPAN" are all in a larger circle. On the back, below the clip, it says "BARLOW B60" The main blade has a good half stop and a good opening and closing snap. The tool has a soft half stop and a weak opening and closing snap. Overall, it is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning. I wiped it off, took some pictures and here it is.

This advertising, lobster pattern or style of pocket knife arrived in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. This particular pocket knife was NOT the reason for my purchasing the group or lot. However, as it turned out, it is a keeper and will make a nice addition to my general, foreign made, pocket knife collection. It is a BARLOW, two blades (one serrated), four tools (a file, screwdriver, heavy duty tweezers(?), scissors), one tang stamp, 5/8" X 2 3/8" closed, lobster pattern or style of advertising pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "BARLOW (over) STAINLESS (over) JAPAN" The main handle side says nothing, it is blank. The other handle side has a "CN" logo and says "Official Opening - June 7th, 1984 - Prince George-Diesel Shop" Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD+ condition. It did NOT need any cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

A very interesting knife, Skip! The heavy-duty tweezers look like they might be a tick removal tool. And I have to wonder if the knife may have originally come from Virginia or Maryland, both of which have counties named Prince George.

A.....

Thank you, Dan.

I believe the C N logo is for Canadian National railways. The Diesel Shop likely repairs locomotive diesel engines.

If this pocket knife was NOT made in Japan, I apologize for posting it here.
If this pocket knife WAS made in Japan, and I believe it was, then I'm in the right place.
Anyway.....

Not too recently, this pocket knife arrived with another pocket knife that I had purchased. This pocket knife was included as a gift from the seller. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It was also added to my "foreign born" pocket knife accumulation. It is a BARLOW, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 3/4" closed, one spring, "scrimshaw" handles, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "BARLOW (in a rectangle) (over) USA" The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "STAIN (over) LESS" The main handle side has two images of an American bald eagle. The other handle side has one image of an American bald eagle. The main blade has a soft half stop, with an ok opening and closing snap. The secondary blade also has a soft half stop, with an ok opening and closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT require any cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Hey Skip, I just saw this thread. I have a couple of Barlow brand Scrimshaw knives. Mine are marked Stainless under BARLOW on the Mark side, Taiwan under BARLOW on the back of the tang. Here they are for your info.

Hey.....

Kerry, I wasn't too sure about the country of origin of those last two pocket knives
that I posted under this topic or thread. They could have been made in Taiwan.
But, since you know that yours ARE made in Taiwan, could you post them here also:

They are a fine looking pair of pocket cutlery.

No problem, Skip. I just did it. I missed the topic somehow, I saw your Taiwan made cutlery, "not pocket knives", but missed the other one..
