Seeing yours made me want to carry my Schrade Russell Commemorative Barlow and the Schrade Barlow . I agree with you on all of your points . Some day I will have to post a photo of all of my Russell Barlows and the Commemoratives that I have . Thank you for your kind comment on my Old Russell .That Old Original Russell that I showed was bought in 2014 for $ 5.00 , down from $ 9.00 that he wanted . I drove back 65 miles a week later to buy it after I found out what it was . Below is what I have in my pockets today and if you look real close you can see the same Dimples in the Covers . I carry them almost never because they are 47 years old .Yes sir ... think the Schrade pattern was 206 ... which was a beauty in its own right
I do recall it said that Schrade used original Russell tooling for the tang and bolster stamps on the commemorative
That original Russell of yours is a treasure !!!
I like your Old Cat my friend .Cocobolo and standard rosewoods for Woodnesday. Enjoy most of your day, okay?View attachment 1779648View attachment 1779651View attachment 1779650View attachment 1779652
I like it a lot, less maintenance. I still love to watch a blade patina but I don’t miss it as much as I thought.Beautiful.
How's the fancy steel performing for you?
Very nice John.
Thanks Gus. I’m very fortunate for sure.Todd…. Wunderful pic and I don’t knowwhy…. I’ve started to associate THIS IRJ as your exclusive blade

Gorgeous knife Gus, and a really cool picture. Hope Spring finds you soon my friend.Today’s number is a favourite of mine, when you could actually buy a knife for a fair price, and really such a short time ago.
Shur-Wood handles were introduced in the late 50’s and adorn this hump-back jack….
