I prefer a small fixed blade ala the Bark River Essential or something like it.  I'm just not a fan of traditional nail nick folders, Barlow or otherwise.  A more modern one hander with a locking blade is OK also.

Please count me in, Barlow. Thanks

I vote Barlow, my second choice would be a Texas Toothpick with nice jigged bone handles,

Being new to iKC I command little power and therefore by "stepping in it" so to say I would like to concur with those recommending a fixed blade. I attach just a teeney - tiny sample of the possibles for consideration by all that are transfixed by the siren's call of the "Bowie".

I would be OK with a two blade  Barlow with an engraved bolster, preferably in carbon steel, but I would be in with whatever is decided upon as long as it is traditional.

Yes ! Barlow

I like the Barlow as pictured.

I'm particularly fond of the combination of a wharncliffe blade with either a clip or spear blade.

If possible, I'd like it to be a minimum of 3 1/2" long, or longer, with either wood or jigged bone scales.

And please, how about D2 steel or better -- no 1095!!!

Well Jan...I say Barlow with a wharncliffe blade...or maybe a two-bladed Barlow with both a wharn and a clip.

The more I think about that Essential.  The more I want it!
