Two Crandalls in a very nice olive green jigged bone, Half Whittler and Peanut. I believe there was a SEAHORSE in that series too!! It could be a myth though...

The Case Razor Barlow has a Case Brothers tang stamp. I've never been sure what series the W.R. Case tang stamp Barlow belongs with (bought it at a gunshop - it was the only knife they had with that stamp). OH

The razor is the Case Bros. Cutlery Co. and the Barlow is the W.R. Case brand.
 
I have had others, but the only family brand I currently have is this Kane Cutlery 100th Anniversary Swayback Jack. As Kane is a family name
of ours (paternal grandmother's maiden name and lots of uncles and cousins) this one has special meaning to me. Limited to 250 pieces, it
has beautiful dark antique Rogers jigged bone covers with long tail C engraved numbered bolster, a collectable medallion and badge shield.

I've got several of the Case Brothers versions, and one Crandall Cutlery somewhere.

Only one I have a pic of at the moment is a Case Brothers Tiny Trapper, chosen more for the Wharncliffe/Clip combo than anything else.

 
My little brother did some work for an old farmer last summer and he found an old Kinfolks knife in the barn and he told my little brother to keep it. I had never heard of Kinfolks at the time so I looked it up and read all I could about it. Was very cool getting to learn something different and new and one of the reasons I like collecting old knives. So much history with a lot of these brands. I will take some pictures of it next time I'm over that way and post them up to this thread. It's pretty beat up.

Please rattle my cage first if you plan on giving up that razor...I really, really want it; badly.:D

P.S. I'll settle for the Barlow if you must keep the razor.
