Very nice set of “daddy” barlows! I’m curious about that Russel with the saw on top. Was it fresh out of the factory like that? And is it actually any good at sawing if it is a saw?

That's an old Russell with the serrated blade back - too precious to saw with!! However the teeth are not cut with sawing in mind - no "set" or "rakers" - I suspect it is a pattern made for a fisherman; for de-scaling!!
