These two have been getting almost all of the pocket time for more than a few weeks now. This Tear Drop has been carried almost as much as the Barlow since it arrived. (Cross-posted in the Case thread.)

Still my most favorite knife, the Expedition Barlow.

In a forgotten corner of a deep drawer, I rediscovered this JBF Champlin repro!!

That is a Barlow that sure has a lot of History wrapped up in a new knife . IMHO Evan really did a Job on that .
