What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[cbr1000]

Nice #25, Harry! There is something about redbone . . . . . . . .

Great pattern, that DB, Fort! I let one get away . . . . . . .sniff!

Reorganizing my Schrade Cut Co Barlow collection, I thought these deserved a picture. Three out of four have ink on them, and the fourth is just as minty!

Looks like somebody ran out of paper and had to finish some math problems on your blades .

Joking aside, what is the meaning of the writing on the blades? I was guessing it's condition or model number, but it's hard for me to make out.

For you sleuths out there, here are the blade marks, a bit closer and clearer!!

Well now I have to try and flitz the ink off the blades now!!! not that my attempts were to forge mind you, just 're-create

Duncan, a box is headed your way and Charlie, a letter headed to you

I thought I was doing such a good job replicating long ago salesman samples then realized I was just inking my name on the blades

Thanks Charlie! There was a time when I didn't even like jig bone at all. I didn't "get it." What was I thinking?!

That TC is sublime Drew. And it's gotta make work just that little bit better. Superb knife.
