After receiving the Camillus 51 a couple of weeks ago I knew that I had another Barlow somewhere that I haven’t seen in years, searched high and low for and finally found it. It may not be the same quality as the Camillus but it was a gift from my brother many many years ago, so it is sentimental. It’s a Mark Twain commemorative made by Imperial in Prov RI.

Ha! That’s a great comment. Made me laugh. I should amend my original post to say, A LOT of luck. As I’ve said somewhere before, I view “owning” these TCs as a privilege. And in a sense one only holds them until the next trade or sale. Even knives I thought I’d keep forever, have most often been passed to others. That’s the great thing - tastes and priorities change, and along with that, so does any collection. I think for me, though, the TC Ebony LP Clip covers all bases in an EDC that is classic and will endure through time and use. As usual, I have to keep thanking Charlie for his work and commitment. MJ.
