I love those old Keen Kutter barlows, with the Keen Kutter stamp on the bolster like that. I wonder, how hard are those to come by?

Chris, you are so right, the old ones take on a look or character that you just can't match with a new one. Ron, love the bone on that Camillus.

Another Barlow with a lot of character to it.

Couple more well used carried Barlows, a Case red bone spear that must have been someones favorite knife, used and carried but not abused, the bone on the one side looks like flames. The back springs have turned black.

The other is an early KA-BAR, maybe pre 1950. The bone is beautiful in the light, it is a mottled very dark green,almost black, my pics can't capture it.
