What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Dwight, I think that's the first Schrade Cut I've ever seen as an
advertising knife!!

Charlie wouldn't you say that is celluloid?

I'm pretty sure it is Dwight!! The timeframe probably precludes vinyl or acrylic as knife handles.

I gave the exclusive Boker Olive wood another go. Sure glad that I did! The shield sits slightly uneven, but other than that, the fit and finish is really, really good. Excellent snap on the blade and boy does that Olive wood have nice figure!

Wow! You really did hit the jackpot with that one, fantastic grain, well done!

Fixall that olive wood is darker than what I normally see out there, it's a definitely a keeper

Another straight line Russell for the pile, this one has very nice saw cut covers.

Several years ago, Eric Albers @ea42 at my request, replaced the old, faded and shrunken Delrin on this Schrade (1975) Russell Barlow Commemorative Issue.
Eric just happened to have some sawcut Mammoth "laying around waiting on a project".
So no, it isn't original ... but it is one of a kind, and some of it is at least a few hundred thousand years old.
Well so there's that, and Mr Albers worked on it for me

EDIT: Little clearer

Thanks to a lopsided and overly generous trade with @willard0341 ...
I ended up with a lovely Tom's Choice Barlow. Thank you very much, Ode.
