Before, and after - - - -err - -after and before!!
First TC ever used, and the prototype, below!! The only change from the prototype was deeper, more pronounced sawcut marks!!

Very kool saw marks but can they act as match strikers?

Well wouldja looky here. Found today in my upper chest pocket on my Duluth Trading flannel, like finding money in your pockets
This little #14 makes a fine traditional Barlow.

That's a beauty.
How'd you lose track of that one?

Thanks John, it wasn't gone long, it's a shirt jack that I wear and I had it on during the last warm spell a couple of weeks back I see a trend where I tend to leave knives in coat pockets and a more alarming one where I lay the knife down while working on a project vs putting it right back in my pocket. I've walked away more than once---I love getting old

I’d say what makes a good Barlow is one you can actually buy when you want one

I listen to tunes on an mp3 player when I work out. One day I had it on in the basement when I worked out. A few hours later I noticed that the tin I keep it in was laying open and the player and headphones wasn't in it. I hadn't left the house in the intervening hours. Therefore, it has to be in the house somewhere. This was months ago and it still hasn't turned up. I've gone so far as looking in the freezer and kitchen cupboards. It has to be here. Its driving me nuts

To stay on topic, here's a couple of Remingtons:
