Two For Tuesday, Two Nice Affordable Barlows
Two Barlows that make great work knives. So many knives that we collect are higher priced or just are not knives that we want to use everyday. These are working knives!

The Kershaw Federalist is a modern slipjoint with detents instead of a back spring. While it seems like a good idea there are some serious problems.

Why didn't you get the big ones?
Your right! I don't know why! 🤣
wish the uk had your knife laws
The knife law that you guys have to put up with really stink!
@@LastChanceKnives it’s a pain in the arse i can’t even legally carry my leatherman without a good reason but i’ve never been searched and don’t see a reason why i would
What's better, my glock 19x
No matter what you pick to carry.....there is always one better!
My Glock 19.
I’m a 20 fan myself but for sure a pistol. Rock beats scissors every time
Hey that’s cool, I didn’t think the emerson wave was on very many blades outside of Kershaw
I wonder if they licensed it or just made there own version?
FACTS 🔪🗡️
Absolutely! 🤣😂🤣
I have the Bark River JX5, and would love to add this one to my collection.
I missed out on the Bark River version...... It was not going to happen again!
@@LastChanceKnives Ya, I got one from the last run. To bad as it's a great knife!
The issue with the Arc is that they flex way too much, then you have to spend way too much money and be careful not to do heavy work cause they are like a princess and may bend horrible. I’m not a fan of those magnet system. Also, the saw, I think can only saw in one direction.
I have been carrying either a P2 or P4 for the past several years. They have proven to be as strong as the Wave. I believe the flex is more from running the plier pivots a little loose to get a smooth butterfly action rather then any serious flex. They have stood up and I have confidence in the tool.
Nice.
@danshim2644 Haha fun knives!
lmao
@@brokapotato5066 Just having a little fun! I'll have some slipjoints to look at next week followed by some more multitool mods.
wish you would you of listed web links to purchase items
Just about everything in the kit is available on Amazon and pretty easy to find if you want an item or two that is in the kit. If there is a tool that you are looking or I would be more than happy to post a link to it.
I always carry a Spyd. Military & a SAK...=)
Just about everyday I carry a modern folder, a slipjoint, and a multitool. In addition there is a Screwpop on my keyring. It is a small lightweight razor knife. It comes in handy for tasks that would trash a blade.
good mix of get it done blades..
From hacking and slashing all the way down to finesse.
I cannot believe someone at SOG did not think of turning the end of the file into a flathead screwdriver. That just seems like a no-brainer to me. I would be a little hesitant to turn the bottle opener into a screwdriver as the metal is pretty thin going out to that tip. I am sure it would be fine for very light duty stuff, but I could see that snapping easily if it got torqued wrong. I also kind of feel the same way about the can opener. That was a great video, by the way! Thanks for sharing!
I am glad that you found the video useful. The bottle opener is not that bad as long as you don't apply a heavy hand. It is a small light duty tool, but after the mods it is much more useful. I like having a good compliment of drivers built into the tool. I just did a few ARC mods and am in the process of modding a P2 and P4. I just can't leave things alone!😂
Excellent two for Tuesday showing! I really like the Barlow pattern and those are very nice examples of nice knives at a reasonable price. Thanks for showing them to us.
Many times I like the simple more reasonably priced knives more than expensive ones. Plus my kids like to eat.......do they really need that much food??? 🤪Knives like these help keep things in check!
Sweet looking knives.
I really like these two. They knives are great users!
@@LastChanceKnives oh yeah
Great pieces, buddy! I've got an A. Wright barlow with rosewood covers, awesome little work knife👍Cheers!
They do make great work knives! The Taylors Eye Witness was the first Barlow in my collection. It was a gift from JerseyKnifeGuy.
These are fantastic! I have both as well, not bad at all. Great video my friend!
I love them both! The Taylors Eye Witness is from JerseyKnifeGuy!
Very nice Ken. That newer stag on the A wright looks much better than the old stag that I have. Im wanting to pick up another when they are back in stock. Thanks for sharing.
I have had the A Wright for quite a while now, just never got around to showing it. Maybe I just got lucky with the stag?
nice looking simple knives you dont have to worry if you use..Thats a good knife..Have a good day/night
They are old classics. Knives of this type have been made for well over 100 years. It's a simple working knife that has stood the test of time.
2 great blades right there, i have both of them and they will definitely stay in my hoard!! Thanks for sharing these!!
They are great knives! The Taylors Eye Witness is from JerseyKnifeGuy. If I remember right he sent you one too.
Bro, I "liked" your video before I even watched it. Almost all of the other ones seem to be newer style knives. I'm 61 and looking for something more like what I had when I was a kid. Nice to see them reviewed.
@larrybellucci4708 Thanks! I like and use all types of knives, so you never know what you are going to find here. I even make custom fixed blades, modify knives, and fix knives. A typical carry for me is a modern folder, a slipjiont in a leather slip, and a multitool. Plus a Screwpop razor knife on my keyring. Look them up. The Screwpop is the best small razor knife that there is and they are only 10 or 12 bucks!
Nice job on that Boker👍 It would be dear to me, if I had fixed it up like you did 😊 God bless you Ken 🙏
I love that Boker. Even though I have newer technically better knives in new condition, it is still one of my favorite carries. Somewhere in my channel there is at least one video showing the restoration.
You carried those knives only at home,if you live in UK.
@69barnet I am fortunate to live in a state where we can carry whatever we want. Of course law enforcement would still probably be suspicious if the situation came up. What I did was carry them at work for the day.
What a wonderful review. I’d also had the same impression of the Mini-Trapper clip-point blade, that it looks worn away. Now I’m hunting for the RoseCraft!
The Rosecraft Briarpatch is a great work knife. You will not be disappointed with it. Take a look at traditionalpocketknives.com they have a great selection of Rosecrafts.
🔥
@@trackerbishop821 It sure is! A great knife at a great price when they were on sale. I have no idea what the current price is.
The worst part about the wasp series is the color. Too loud. After you use them for a while they grow on you though. I never thought of dying them.
@glenh4971 Changing the color is what made me love the series. I tested them with hardness files and the 60HRC file will not scratch the blades. That means they have a better than expected heat treat and they do hold up well in use. VG10 is a great stainless for traditionals. I still want to try a dark blue dye, so that will be coming up when there is time to do it.
Damn. 😮
@MacBeanScottishFitness Just a lil old pocket knife!
Thanks for this excellent long-term review and I love all the clever mods you made to it. Well done! 😁👌Take care my friend and Cheers!
Well as you know by now I can't ever leave things alone! 🤣
It's the largest mainstream, check out midgard messers odin's toothpick, it's bigger than the espada XL with a blade length of 8.75 vs espadas 7.5
I checked out the Odin's Toothpick. It looks like an awesome large knife. More a a Kukri than a toothpick! Thanks for the info!
That's a dang machete lol 😂
Yup pretty close to one! 7.5" blade and maybe 9.5" handle!
😅 that's a knife!
Surprisingly it actually carries quite well in the pocket.
Damn that’s a great mod and ideas! I’ve been carrying bits with mine
Sometimes I carry bits, but the tool should be a bit more complete without extra bits. The mods have worked out great. If you are handy, give it a try. Most of the time I carry a Leatherman P4 or ARC. Both are great tools. I just put up a video of the mods I did to an ARC. Check it out if you are interested.
I love my ARC. Used it a ton at work. And it saved me many trips back to the shop. I did mod my tool to remove the saw. I replaced it with a t-shank adaptor to hold metal jigsaw blades. Much more useful and I can put a wood blade in if needed. It was a bit thicker so I deleted the can opener cause personally I hate can openers on a multitool. And I found a local guy to laser engrave it to make it much more personal! It was also just a fun tool to play with when bored lol. I liked the design of the P2/P4 but hated the tool set. I love the ARC kept the design but fixed the horrible tool set! Still trying to find a good tool to replace out the awl and micro bit driver. I lost a micro bit at one point after using the tool as a hammer lol. Also I used a really nice leather sheath to hold the tool and bit set. That one it comes with is junk for actual work.
I also have a P4 and added a T-Shank adapter. It did require the removal of one of the skinny drivers. I'll have to make a few mods videos for other multitools. Of all of them the modified ARC is my favorite.
I really like the scissor modification!
It is pretty easy to do. I used a small belt sander. You just need to have a steady hand!
@@LastChanceKnivesI may have to give it a try on one of my Arcs. That is just a fantastic idea in my opinion
@@Genesis992 It solves the biggest issue with the scissors, a lack of precision. They work so much better for many applications after thinning them out. The mod is definitely worth doing.
If those are mids pls tell ne what are the large or extra large ones
That remark was sarcasm !🤣😂🤣The Cold Steel Espada XL and the Rajah II would be considered large pocket knives.
I agree the surge is heavy for edc or someone who walks a lot for work.
I still have a Surge and carry it when needed. I usually know the days work ahead of time and carry what is appropriate. But for normal EDC it is a bit much.
I like the tools set on the p4 better and it’s a cheaper. You could buy a magnate for now for cheap.
The P4 is also a great multitool. I have a P4 and 2 P2's. All of them have been modified and improved. I will make a video on those tools and the mods. There are a couple mods still planned.
Thank you so much, I've just tried this and I'm over the moon to say it worked. It had been bothering me since I'd bought it. Great tip" kind regards Cliff
I am glad it helped! If just one person put the information to good use the video was worth making..
@@LastChanceKnives ❤️
To me, the flat bits are the Achilles heel of leatherman. For one, they’re junk, practically disposable bits, that are ludicrously overpriced. Give me a full size bit driver. The thing I do love about the arc is, for me, there’s no need to modify, it’s my preferred tool set. I mod my waves to have the exact same tools, only better scissors from a Victorinox. My wave is my go to, cause I don’t particularly care for the extra length of the arc. I do love the arc tho, and am a leatherman die hard, just don’t like the shitty flat bits.
I have found the Leatherman flat bits to be ok. They are not the greatest, but not junk either. Being flat makes them easier to carry when needed. One of these days I may do a new heat treat on a flat bit and run it harder than Leatherman does. I make custom knives so the heat treat is no problem. I have done some mods to a few other tools. My P2 has a 4mm bit driver in it and my P4 has a 1/4" bit driver. This allows me to use Wiha bits in both tools which is a big upgrade.
I’ve got the 90s camp carbon version with the clip point being delivered today. I have a feeling just off aesthetics that qsp is also the one doing jack wolf’s oem with given the almost identical walk and talk, hardware and finishing. Ben won’t divulge the oem, but I’m betting it’s qsp. Even the letter font is very similar. I haven’t seen reate doing any special lettering for anybody so it more than likely isn’t them.
I have also suspected the OEM for Jack Wolf may be QSP. There are not that many companies that do this level of fit and finish. And as you said they are remarkably similar in materials and quality.
Excellent work!
Thanks! I like the tool a lot more with the mods. It solves a few problem areas that it was lacking in.
Very nice, I have kinda wanted to get one of those in my hands
I can't wait to get it outside for testing!
Very cool! You have a wonderful eveningbud.
@@jeffjackson5331 ohh yah Today is a happy day!
@@LastChanceKnives oh yeah
That is a really cool design. It's kind of hard to imagining exactly what task that knife couldn't excel at. But as usual, your comments teach us much. That was probably bad grammar. I did better at math..... LOL
@martinparmer I hear you on the grammer. I had to take the remedial english my first semester in college. Math and science, no problem. After all I am an IT guy and don't need no stinkin english I tell ya!
sweet looking blade
@MacBeanScottishFitness Work Tuff Gear makes a high quality knife. These are a little bigger than what I can heat treat in my oven.
I always wanted to try one of them…… they are such good knives I’d love to take one of them in the woods 😊thanks for showing it Ken stay safe brother
@@jerseyknifeguy6382 WTG does make an excellent knife! These are the only 2 that I have. They are a little larger than what my knife oven will hold, so I can't heat treat something this big.
those packing peanuts killed me more than the knife ever could LOL!! BUT having said that, That is a nice looking knife. WOW...Thats no joke right there..
@thebodybeatdownDiTi I laughed when I saw those peanuts! What the heck were they thinking??? The only use that I can think of is to test how the knife slices! The knives are pretty serious tools. They will out chop a hatchet by a large margin. They are woods tools. Oh and most important just plain fun! 😊
Great modification Sir! You need to sharpen the inside of the can opener too with a rounded file, so that you can use it as a box opener. I am using the Wave Gen1 since 1999, after I lost my Swiss Champ. Eyeing to get the Arc too. Surge is to heavy for me. Have it in the EDC toolpouch for traveling.
The Wave is another great tool. Either one will get the job done. The ARC is more convenient and with a few mods is hard to beat. I'll take another look at the can opener like you suggested. Thanks for the idea!
long term review 6 months. i have a Gerber 400 multi-tool i use it every day on my farm for the last 26 years. has been shit on it by pigs, trampled by horses, run over by tractors, lost in the mud for weeks, luckely got it back. send in to have some tools replace and a broken plierhead, all 0 kost great warranty by Gerber, and still using the same Gerber 400 today. 26 years hard use and showing no sign of giving up. that my friend is a long term review.... ps and a fair one.
I had a Gerber back in the 90's. It may have been a 400 I don't remember if they made several similar models or not. It had the same slide out plyers. I carried the thing for about a week and then gave it away. It was junk! The main problem was that when using the plyers the sides of the tool came to close together and were a painful pinch point. The onboard tools were mostly short and didn't feel all that sturdy. A much better tool back then was the Victorinox Swiss Tool. That was a quality tool. 6 months of use in the trades is plenty to get to know a tool. Especially since I carried it's predecessors the P4 and P2 for several years prior to the ARC, which is nothing more than an upgraded P4.
@@LastChanceKnives that is your point of view, but there is no! arguing with 26 years hard labour. and that for the fraction of the price of any Letherman.........
Another example I will give you is that I have had the original Leatherman PST since the mid 80's. It has been carried, used, and abused daily on a farm for 20 years (about 1985-2005) and still functions. The tools on it all show considerable wear, The knife and screwdrivers have all been reground several times, but the tool still functions properly. That said even though it is "proven" there is no way that I would even think about carrying it today or any of the new Leathermans with similar construction . Tools have advanced quite a bit since then. Same with the Gerber 400, a Wave or Surge would be a better option today. After the PST a Victorinox Swiss Tool then the lighter Spirit X were the next tools that I carried and for quite a few years.
26 years is certainly dedication to a tool. Most of my hand tools are all old tools I got from my grandpa. Kinda hard to beat a vintage high quality tool. And the best part, with the plastics aging and breaking down they smell awful. lmao makes sure no one else will ever steal my pukey tools! But I do like my modern multitools. Good advancements in the steels and operation that I like more.
@@braixeninfection6312 With so many neat tools out on the market there is no way that I could stick with a multitool that long today. Way back there were not many choices so the same one was carried for a long time. Now for hand tools I do have all the tools that I bought as a teenager and quite a few from my grandfather. The tools were all quality US made and have stood the test of time. They will probably get passed down to my son some day.
