Great looking knife. The ones that get handed down are the best. That is the knife that you're going to base your opinion of all other traditionals off of. None will ever measure up, nor should they.

nt know how old it is.. It dorsnt look as old as the ones on google images.

That's a good-looking Barlow, 'Truk, and getting it from your grandfather makes it really special! (And, as usual, I learned some cool stuff in this thread that I wasn't even trying to learn - like Case tang stamps and BBCode.)
