Vintage Imperial Large Barlow Folding Single Blade Pocket Knife Ireland (204)

Description

A classic Imperial large Barlow pocket knife from the company's Ireland production period.

This traditional Barlow features a long clip-point blade, oversized nickel-colored bolster stamped BARLOW, and dark brown sawcut-style synthetic handle scales. The blade carries the distinctive crowned Imperial / IRELAND tang stamp.

Imperial's Ireland-marked knives were produced during the later Imperial Schrade era, with collector references generally placing this production between approximately 1988 and 2004.

This example has been previously carried and used and displays the honest cosmetic wear expected from an older working pocket knife.

The blade shows scratches, fine surface marks and evidence of previous use and sharpening. There is visible scratching toward the point, while the blade retains a good overall profile and the tip remains intact.

The brown handle scales show normal age and handling wear but appear complete without an obvious major crack or missing section in the photographs. The bolster and other exposed metal surfaces have scratches and cosmetic wear consistent with previous carry.
