Thats a classy looking Barlow, Paul. Handsome bolster stamp, great blade combo and to my eyes Case knives always look good dressed in black and silver.

Starting my day with the same two ironwood GEC's as yesterday. Since its Saturday and I'm around the house today, and with all my knives close by, things could change.

For support of those really cautiously optimistic statements:

Love the no nonsense unpretentious brass bolsters.
I wish they would make more "worker" patterns like the stockman, Barlow, and the trapper, among others, with brass and/or steel bolsters these days. More with simple carbon steel blades, too.

I've never understood why a patina is "bad", or why a knife that is regularly used should look "new", even after years of use.
Once a patina forms, rust isn't a threat anymore. (at least it hasn't been for me. Not even when I lived in the Florida Keys, surrounded by saltwater.)
Knives with stainless blades and nickel silver bolsters never attain character like those with brass (or copper) and steel bolsters and carbon steel blades do.
