I’ve never been a big fan of very red redbone. I’ve always liked deeper maroons and the sort. But this picture really has me rethinking my taste. Those just look amazing.

The 2022 Golden Rod Sawcut bone 14 TC Barlow was the democratization of the TC Barlow. GEC made sure that everyone that wanted one could find one. 1,267 made.

Here's a nice old Case in delrin that I picked up at a flea market a few years ago for a couple bucks. Tang stamp puts it from sometime between 1970-79.

Barlow overload.. Absolutely fine looking knives there. I use to not care for the spear point Barlows but as of recent years they have really grown on me. I’ll have to add one someday.
