I enjoy seeing your Big-Box-o-Barlows show up from time to time, Ed!

It really is very generous of him, and if it will fit in the sheath I use for my sodbuster Jr it may become my new favorite user.
I always have a hard time using new shiny blades, but an old carbon blade with patina usually becomes a close friend and trusted tool.

always see these on the bay, are they any good? some look to be in decent shape actually!

Personally, I would not buy off the bay. There are more reliable sources, especially for the new made Schrades.

I should check and see which are the Imperials and see the different colors. Could use a current picture also.

They are good for light duty. You can get them sharp easily.

I certainly be interested in what colors were available.
Also could you tell me how they tend to be as far as blade play is concerned ?
