Nearly a decade ago, we were so thoroughly impressed with the new product line from lionSTEEL, we asked them to make some modern traditional patterns for CollectorKnives.  This collaboration produced some of the finest knives made in this genre and it started a movement in the industry to replicate our success.  The original barlow pattern we created in 2017 just won the "Blade Show Slipjoint of the Year" in 2026 and has been featured in the Spring 2021 Blade Magazine.  Nearly 10 years of accolades!
