Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Barlow Knife Chant
All that stuff about some guy called Barlow making one for George Washington is of course a load of old Hooie. The Barlow Knife is a good old knife made in Sheffield, England and exported in large quantities to the colonies. The facts are all here, a good website.
