## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I got a great one
*by L***. on October 1, 2021*

So when I saw this knife offered I got really excited. The Barlow is the quintessential working man's knife. It came into being in the 1700s. I wanted a true to form Barlow knife reminiscent of the originals, the same spirit. There are so many cheap Chinese imports which I didn't want. As for Bear and Son I'd heard mixed reviews on their knives, some inconsistent QC and the like. However, they are a US based company and I gave them a shot. I am an avid knife collector, from Victorinox to Reeve and Hinderer customs. I know knives and I was blown away. The knife is very well made with no blade play and good snap on both blades. No gaps or obvious flaws. The rosewood is smooth and fits well. It should be noted that a true Barlow is a working knife so it doesn't have that Case polished collector's feel on it like a stockman with true sharp. That being said, it is pretty in the utilitarian context (as it shouldbe). It feels genuine. Like it wouldn't be out of place in a soldier's pocket at Gettysburg. It's perfect for what I wanted, a quality knife at a great price, made in the USA. Some may have gotten lemons and I can't speak to that, but will say the quality fit and finish are spot on with my knife. And it's NOT from China!! Great job Bear and Son, I'll be back for more.Thanks for readingBest wishes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic Beauty
*by T***N on October 6, 2023*

Perfect! Just beautiful and very well made. Don’t settle for one of the many cheap barlow knives out there. For under $50, you get a classic knife easily worth twice as much. As you can see, the rosewood handle sets the blades off nicely. Great for a gift!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ its a well appreciated gift
*by C***W on May 30, 2024*

Knife is finished beautifully....the only improvement IMO is if the factory crew would spend just 2 min. more on the belt sander this piece would be perfect.
