"Barlow" Style Pocket Knife - Bone or Horn Handle with Shield

Being fortunate enough to get one of the first batch I was delighted with the make and fit of the blade and workings. I own a modern Barlow with multiple blades so I was especially glad to obtain one period correct.

A great purchase. Thank you.

Very pretty, handy and well-made knife. My first pocket knife, almost 50 years ago, was a Barlow (not nearly so nice as this one, I hasten to add.) This will ride in my pocket for upcoming events. The blade is sharp, the scales fit nicely and the shield is a great touch. I gave it a quick patina so it looked like a well-loved piece and am ready to go.

The knife is nice looking and quality built. Very sharp.

I love this knife. Sometimes I just open it and look at it. Very nice and sharp. Very nice authentic piece.

Excellent pocket knife.

Great knife!

It has been hard to find a sturdy practical Barlow style knife with a sharp carbon steel blade, carbon steel liners and bolsters, natural bone handles, and a pinned on shield for $20! Finish is above what one generally finds on many original early-mid 19th century Sheffield export knives of this type destined for "the working classes." Also as it should be historically, fit is workmanlike rather than elegant. Everything one could want in a period appropriate knife to use for daily cutting chores.
