Barlow Knife

[Wangan]

Wow! Love the Ghurka, Kukri! I have always wanted one of those!Do you have the sheath with the little jugular knife too? I heard the Punjabs could actually lop a head off with one of those.My brother in law had one and by the weight of it,I dont doubt they could.

You have some nice looking steel there.I have a British Commando toothpick somewhere.Some of my favorites are a German bayonet and a Phillipean machete.Ill post a few pic.s later.

You have some nice knives there . I have a small fixed blade in a sheaf that my Grandfather gave me when I was a kid , made in Germany , will post a pic if I can figure out where I put it . I do not remember my Grandfather ever using the knife or where he got it , one day he just handed it to me and said , HERE !

Bruce , I just did a quick search on Google , and came up with a site to figure out how to date your Case knife . Go to the following site below and scroll down the page till you find the info to identify your knife . I do know that the series of the number stamped on a blade identifies the type of handle as well as other information . A certain space of the numbers will identify the date the knife was issued , I just do not remember which ones that do . It may touch on that on the site below, I believe you will find the information there to be quite interesting , Lou

That reminds me of what Dad told me the first time I asked to borrow his knife.He said "If I didnt have a knife,it would be the next thing I would buy".[]

I have had a knife since I was around ten years old Tim . I had saved a small bit of money , two or three dollars if I remember right , went to the hardware store in town and bought me a two bladed Barlow . I was really proud of it and thought it neat as all get out as for taking it out and putting it back in my pocket , made me feel all grown up . I do not remember what ever happened to it . I do remember cutting a couple of my fingers pretty badly while attempting to whittle with it , and Mom taking it away from me for a couple of weeks . My Grandsons are seven and nine now and I have been debating on when to give them a kinfe . Guess I will have to clear it with their parents before doing so .

My first knife was a knife my Dad gave me. He was in the Navy and it was one of those metal folding knives. These are what I carry these days.

LC,I thought I had a Barlow but it turned out to be a cAMco? pocket knife.I use a Gerber thumb flicker like that Road Dog.I had a part serrated one but the tip broke and I cant find it.

Here are a few I have.A couple are home made but all have good steel.The two handed machete was a project I was going to finish that a friend had started from boiler plate.I started a Birch handle but never went any further.The blade alone is two feet.I would probably get a workout just lugging it around.[]

What's that Jason Voreez knife there? Buck knives are nice. I have one like the one in the lower right. Opens smooth and real sharp. I have a couple of the assist opening types, two automatics and one switch. No bayonets. Whats the story on yours?
