Who EDC's a barlow?
For the last few days I have been carrying a Colonial USA barlow. However today I switched back to my Case Mini Blackhorn. After carrying the Case for a couple of years now, the greater size and weight of the barlow just didn't feel right in my pocket.
Anyway it got me to wondering. When I was young, at least where I grew up (a very rural area, mostly farmers), a barlow was one of the most common types of knife carried. Now I don't even remember the last time I saw someone carrying a barlow.
So the question, who carries a barlow?

I carry a Case XX era barlow nearly every day. I also have one on my computer desk.

I used to carry a Barlow for a while about 25 years ago. Haven't since.

I'm with you, Charles.
When I came up, you could always find a display card full of barlows in most every hardware store. They were some of the first knives that I accumulated. -

This one started in 1990 Carry it off and on. Especially if I know it is going to be wet outside.

Normally my preferred edc is a trapper because it finds my hand well but for Labor Day it was too large to wear with shorts so I switched to shrade Barlow and it handled all my cutting needs without weighing down pocket, will likely use note often now
