This is a little different; a saddlehorn with rather nice mother of pearl covers. Bigger than usual, also, with 3 7/16 frame.

I’ve always liked Barlow’s but this is the only one I own. I had an orange handle Schrade from when I was a kid but gave it to my 22 year old daughter last year when she was visiting for Christmas because she always liked it. I figured it was time for someone else to enjoy it since I had it for about 37 years.

You hit a home run with that find Johnny. And it appears to be flawless!

Obviously the two there and mine are all imported from Japan by Jim Parker. I thought so. Thanks for the illumination!

I believe it was the short-lived Meteor Industries, which licensed him to use the Wostenholm name
