imperial barlow

[old timer90]

I have a old imperial barlow. It was my great grandfather

[philco]

They were never an expensive knife to purchase, and it seems they are often overlooked by collectors, but those old Imperial knives sure have some great blade steel and were and still are a good knife for the money. Looks like Grandpa got some good use out of that one.
Don't you wish it could talk?

That one looks like my grandfather's knife. He used a grinder on it. My dad never did sharpen his old barlow. But it is worn down too.
