Yes, and thanks! It was an enjoyable event and already looking forward to next year. All three have spectacular bone covers, but yes, the DE is extra special and the pile sides are just as nice.

Can you tell me about the Russell in your picture. No offense, but is it a repro or reissue? Doesn't look to me like the old Russell barlows. Really curious about the source. Might get me one (if still available) to go with my old Russells.
Thanks.

No offense taken. Not certain of the date of manufacture.

I bought this one from a AAPK seller whom I have come to trust. This is how he described it ~

"This is a Russell Green River Works Barlow made by Boker under contract in Solingen Germany. The handles are some very pretty smooth brown bone that are chip and crack free. The blades have not been used or resharpened and retain their factory edges. Measures 3 1/8" closed OAL. Good snap and no wobble or play."

No reason to even suspect that he misrepresented it.
