Case Canoe (2015 if I’m reading the X’s correctly) is one of my favorite knives for EDC

That is a beauty! I love the jigged bone and the etching on the main blade!

Tnx, I’d have a lot more Case knives in my collection if cost wasn’t prohibitive. They are a special treat every now and then.

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.

My dad carried that color Barlow for a long time when I was young. It seems like that's what many of the old timers carried, too. The little blade on dad's had been sharpened so much it looked more like a punch than a blade. I wonder what ever happened to it.

The Barlow shape seems to have fallen out of favor. I have a yuge one in my toolbox that's probably 8" long when open.
Here's a 'fishing' knife I bought at a local auction a couple weeks ago. I kept one just like it in the tackle box when I was kid.

My Rough Rider Barlow. This is an amazingly good knife considering it’s made in China. The 440 is razor sharp, no wobble and has excellent snap, all in all a quality knife, affordable too!
