First Impressions: Looks as good as the picture, maybe better. Sharp, just used the pen blade to eviscerate a pile of Christmas deliveries. The color is perfect, if you’re looking for something nostalgic. Great for fetching, “Go into my knife box and bring me the one that says ‘Barlow’.” Fit and finish are great, so is the pull, and the price is great too. I think a little oil may be beneficial. And both nail-nicks are accessible! This is only my second Bear & Sons knife (1st was the 4″ Barlow), but it won’t be my last. I am very happy with this knife.
