"Mary gave him a bran-new "Barlow" knife worth twelve and a half cents; and the convulsion of delight that swept his system shook him to his foundations. True, the knife would not cut anything, but it was a "sure-enough" Barlow, and there was inconceivable grandeur in that...." Mark Twain

That explains a line of a song I enjoy. Shady Grove by James Alan Shelton and some other fella. "When I was a little boy, I wanted a (Barlow) knife...."
Back when I deluded myself about being able to play the guitar, "Shady Grove" was a favorite. Doc Watson was the man to imitate.
I still have my Barlow. It's around here somewhere. JAGSC
