Barlows does anyone else love them

[toomanyknives]

Wow Iman, those are some real beauties.

TMK, those three with sawcut handles are nice. I love saw cut jigging.

Thanks SSK!

[Quick Steel]

TMK, between you and Iman, I've spilled my coffee. Very fine Barlows gentlemen.

Recently, this "BARLOW", pattern or style of pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But upon discovering it among the other pocket knives, then holding it and then finally, just admiring it....I decided to give it MUCHO pocket time. It also got added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a REMINGTON R44, two blades (the secondary blade is broken), two tang stamps, two bolster stamps, 3 3/8" closed, long main blade pull, two springs (the secondary blade spring is broken in half), "BARLOW", pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "U.S.A. (vertical) REMINGTON (over) UMC (inside circle) MADE IN (vertical)" The main blade back tang stamp says, "R44" The secondary blade stub, front tang stamp says, "REMINGTON (inside circle)" Both bolsters are stamped "Remington" The main blade has a very good half stop, a good opening snap, a not so good closing snap and is SCARY SHARP. I faced a minor dilemma when I found this knife. What to do with it! Choice A, get the secondary blade put back in. Choice B, reduce the knife to a one blade pocket knife. Choice C, leave it the way it is. I went with leave it the way it is. The part of the secondary blade spring that is missing is on the pivot end. I can close the secondary blade stub further than if the spring was not broken. Therefore, no part of the secondary blade stub sticks out to catch on skin or fabric. It also reinforces that part of the liner. Overall, this pocket knife is still in VERY GOOD condition and I am going to love looking at it, carrying it and using it. A very minor cleaning was required. I took some pictures and here it is.

Those are very cool, Skip. My only "old" Remington is one of those. Mine had two broken blades, so I had mine "repaired". I don't like to do it, but since the tangs were good, I had blades welded on. I just couldn't let this knife go to the trash bin. It had survived too long to be thrown away. I just keep it in my collection with a note stating that it has welded blades in case anyone gets it after I die. It will be with me until then.. I believe the RB43 was the spear blade version..

Those.....

Thank you, Kerry.
(there's only one knife)
Your REMINGTON is a real LKER!!

Nice Iman!
I love the color of the covers, they really stand out on your knife.
Great pictures too!

Though the Barlow is the favorite of many collectors, is there anyone who doesn’t like the pattern ? Here are my newest, a modern take by Smith & Wesson and oldest, a very old and worn Case.

Wow! Beautiful knife. I can see why you repaired it, but I can't tell where it was repaired. Nice work!

All three are fantastic examples, Iman! I especially like the GEC with the spear blade.

Welcome, GTR! Two beauties there for different reasons. That old case has stories to tell.

I assume your screen name is for Guitar Click track? Are you a session player? I'm a guitar guy.

Great old Queen there, David. Your collection never disappoints!

Here's one of my favorite Case knives. I really like the Appaloosa bone.

Wow! Beautiful knife. I can see why you repaired it, but I can't tell where it was repaired. Nice work!

Thanks Jeep. Both blades were broken just above the tangs were snapped off. The pen blade was replaced and the main blade was welded back on by Gary Claxon. He's very good. I can do many things, but welding is above my pay grade! Plus, he had the blades. Like I said, I normally wouldn't go to these lengths, but this knife was way too nice to let it go to the trash pile..

“Gtrclktr” is guitar collector. Sadly I am far from a session player. I like to say, “I don’t play guitar, I play with the guitar”. The last story the old Case could tell I a long time knife collector/acquaintance of mine recently purchased it for $10 and gifted it to me.

Ahh, collector makes more sense! I too have that affliction! That's a great old Case, and it came to you in a wonderful way..Nice to meet you! BTW , there is actually a music sub-forum. Another member, "Ridgegrass" is a big time collector and player.
