Yes. It’s nice to hear him enumerating the characteristics and issues of the knife in his decision to purchase. Also, I love a barlow! The extra meat of the bolster provides added blade stability over other popular pocket knife designs in a compact package. A classic design.

You have the patience of a sage! I don't screw around with old knives because I inhereted a bunch of them. All over sharpened. My mother once came to a shop I was working in and deemed our bench grinder with a stone wheel a "knife sharpener". That is exactly why my inhereted collection is not salvageable, Grandpa did it like that! Another important note, you must scrub your stones clean after every use. I have met many people in their 70s who can't get a blade sharp using their grandpa's old stone because it is all clogged up and they are afraid to screw them up. I use pumice hand cleaner on mine after every use. My stones sharpen lots of tools as well as knives.

High quality ceramic has eliminated a LOT of that problem nowadays. Few licks on a DMT coarse and straight to Spyderco ceramic. It HONES the edge, instead of grinding off steel so much. Also the major component of both ballistol and remoil is lightweight mineral oil, and I use food safe grade

Good tutorial. I have watched your videos a few years now and always look forwarded to Sunday morning with your postings. Your knife restos have given me inspiration to clean up the pile of knives I have from cleaning out my grandparents, parents and my wife's parents house. Had a box in my garage and started going through them and clean, fix and display them even giving my daughter a few from her grandfather. You did a video a few years ago on making a display stand for knives and I have made a few of them as it is quick and easy to make. The best to you, thanks.

I also heard that the big front bolster is like that because the oversized steel is supposed to support the handle covers underneath them and in an attempt to keep the handle covers from splitting if you torque the knife during hard use. Later models had the oversized bolster more for show, because by that point, customers had associated the large front bolster with a Barlow, which had by that point established a reputation for being a rough use knife.

I used 0000 after the 600 grit to polish the metal. I used 0 to clean out the blade grooves.

Chuck doesn't wear eye protecting when we're polishing by hand.

I find that the polishing compound is waxy and it can gather in the pores of the steel and serve as a protective coating and limits oxygen getting in to further corrode any existing pits.

@@357magdad Update: It's a Schrade made on Ulster tooling. Ulster at that time was part of Imperial/Schrade. The same knife was marked under both Imperial and Ulster names.

The world wants to know what music you and Chuck listen to while sanding. A good Jersey boy should obviously prefer Frank Sinatra, but perhaps Chuck is one of those kinds of today who choose Springteen, Bon Jovi, or J Geils.
