Lot 23: Pocket Knife by: Scott Summerville

Artist Scott Summerville, a loyal auction supporter, donated this Barlow knife. A very common 18th century design, the Barlow name was written in 2 lines ‘Bar Low’. This knife is made of 1095 high carbon steel. The blade has a typical 18th century spear point tip. The bolster sets off the handles and blade perfectly. The scales are pinned for a lifetime of service. The quality and fit on this knife is more in the officer’s class than the common Bar Low.
