There's more hot spots on that Barlow then there is on a hot potato straight from the oven. Oh and yes I agree 100% it would sell like hot cakes.

John, I'd easily pay you a current Ancient price for that beauty but some how I feel even an Ancients price on the secondary market wouldn't sway you

That was neat to cf and ce at the rendezvous last year

Is there a number on the bottom of each tube??

Uuuhh, no, Tim.

My Ancient was so close... USPS had it just across the river in Portland... then shipped it to Columbus Ohio??? I feel like I am being tested here lol

Thanks Paul, you are right, that one would be hard to pry from my grubby little paws. Always amazed me that a knife could last 140 years in that condition without being messed with.

Uuuhh, no, Tim.

Just couldn’t figure out what the number “313” was on the other cap.

Love barlows, especially in the 77 pattern. Perfect size for an EDC.

Hang in there, Drew! Your joy will be doubled when you finally get it.

(I had a knife I shipped go to the other side of the country before it finally went to New England. USPS gets it right 99% of the time, but that other 1% is a head scratch.)

I broke down and got the new TC and it is a looker.

Here it is pictured between a couple other relics, an old Kabar and a Queen.

This knife has been stuck in my head since you posted it. It's even on my desktop wallpaper now. It's just plain awesome!
