Todays carry is an old classic. I’ve carried this for around 25 years

Hi. I'm Paul and I have a problem, lol.
Yer welcome… and that’s one Sweet Barlow!JimVH wrote: 20 Nov 2023, 13:56 I bought this some time ago, but it's been sitting on a shelf in the box. I put it in service today because Jocose.
Well.. dang man.. the last thing I need (want is another matter tho hee - hee) is another Barlow knife but after reading Bloods post I realized that I didn’t have a Western brand Barlow.JimVH wrote: 09 Nov 2023, 15:28This place is rich with enablers.Jocose wrote: 09 Nov 2023, 15:17I’m now looking at these on the bay. Yer a bad influence.Bloodhound wrote: 08 Nov 2023, 13:23 When I was younger, I carried a Barlow pocket knife almost every day...you could get them at any harware store for a couple of bucks. I either broke a blade or my little brother would steal it (That's another story), and I would replace it with another Barlow. I didn't know that any quality knife companies built that style. Well when I was able to afford a little nicer quality knife, I kind of forgot about the Barlow shape. I am a big fan of the Old "Western" brand, that was an off shoot of "Case", and made just up the road in Boulder, Colorado. Then this past week, I ran across a Westerm Barlow...well it had to come home with me...here is the latest and what will likely be the last knife I buy in 2023. Western dates are a little hard to figure, but it looks like it may have been made in the late 70s. I'll work on polishing the blades and it will join my EDC pile/rotation.

Penny and I will be on the road for Thanksgiving...just the two of us and an open road. So I polished and sharpened the Western Barlow and it will be making the trip in my pocket. First time I have carried it since I got it.Jocose wrote: 21 Nov 2023, 18:37Well.. dang man.. the last thing I need (want is another matter tho hee - hee) is another Barlow knife but after reading Bloods post I realized that I didn’t have a Western brand Barlow.
So I’ve been looking on the ‘bay here and there and finally found one I liked, it should be here in a week or so.
