Is it still a Barlow?

That would be great. I like the new jigged bone model but the pocket clip doesn't set well with me. I would remove it and then there would be 4 open cavities in the butt end of the handle. Just enough to keep me from getting one.

I've got an AG Lockback Rancher. I threw away the pocket clip and the little screw holes don't bother me much. It's one of my favorite "user/beater" knives.

That probably wouldn't bother me either but these appear to also have a slot on each side where the clip slides between the covers and the liner. Remove the clip and you're left with 2 screw holes and 2 slots.

I'm just being picky but I do like the jigged bone model otherwise.
