Camco with steel liners, I have a knuckle that can tell you it's very sharp.

I have a Case Barlow that's about 80 years old, and it's still a tight, good looking user. I don't know if these new Crossroads will last that long, but I sure do like this thing.

Has anyone picked up one of these yet? I was about to hit the buy button and thought I'd ask first.
Boker Barlow, made in Germany with D2 and Checkered bone, 3 1/4". I think it would be a nice EDC.

That's nice wood on that, John. Is it maple?
Here's one from their run of Barlows about five years ago.

No good sir, just the BB coin as an accent. They are two I collected from the ‘23 run. Kingwood and Purple Sage Bone!
