Thank you Mark and I am very happy to find such a nice Russell, after passing on the well used ones for so many years. :)

Primble, that's a knockout for sure! I have one Russell-made barlow (actually it's an all metal Barlow/Boy's knife).

Very cool little knife Dan or it looks a little small in your hand.? I saw one of those for sale the other day and yours is in much better condition. :thumbup::thumbup::)

What is the closed length, by the way?
 
Thanks, Primble.

I'll have to measure when I get home, but I'd guess somewhere around the 2.75" mark. I bought that from a seller at a show who had somehow found an entire box of those, never used. :eek:
 
Another Holy Cow from me, Primble!!! What a difference a week makes. That Russel is just exceptional!!!!!!!!!!Skip a beat...no...my heart stopped for a second.

Haha - I was wondering where you was Gevo. I know your heart ticks very similar to mine when an old knife is at stake. I think mine did stop for a second or two and it was so good that I set out trying to see if I could find something about it that did not look right. I had my magnifying glass out, my best flashlight, and my very best close-up spectacles on. :o:D

It is in my watch pocket right now and might stay there for a while. ;) I am still fond of my new old Primble Barlow and I may split time between them. :)

Until now - every time I would find an old Russell Barlow with nice handles, the blades looked like worn out double harness jacks. :D
 
I am so glad I got my name on that list. I cannot tell from the picture but is the bone sawcut?
 
Woo-eee!! I've got a good feeling about these knives!

Justin et.al. FYI, the bone is smooth, polished!
 
Superb job Charlie, another hit for Team Campagna-GEC! ;) :thumbup:
 
They are looking good Charlie, you may have cracked the code after all this time Case have been keeping it secret - as well as not being able to use chemicals that nuke the workers so much these days :eek:

Looking really good- it is real exciting stuff there :thumbup:
 
They're so good!!! Might be my favorite iteration yet, wish I was on the list but congrats to those who are, looks like you're all in for a real treat with these beauties!
 
Wow! That could be my favorite version yet. I am going to be so very jealous of the ones that will be shown. So perfectly beautiful.

Edit; definitely my favorite version yet.

Very excited to say the least:thumbup:
 
STUNNING!!!! Wow, just, wow! That might be my favorite one yet!!

Hats off to ya, Charlie! You've done it again!
