:thumbup: Don makes a great knife.
Was lucky to pick up a first run Charlow for a friend named Tom, last name starts with a C. First barlow I have ever owned, wasn't a fan. But after getting this one and looking it over, had to order more. Not sure which skew to give my bro, so giving this one a test drive today.

I slipped this 4 1/4" CV Case 6375 Large Stockman with amber jigged bone covers in my pocket this morning. It's the first time I've really carried it for any length of time so I thought carrying it among coins and keys today and this upcoming week would season it a bit and get it scratched up and perhaps dirty.

Took the dogs out to swim, time for a beer. These two have been with me all day. Put a pretty good ding in the Turkish walnut, it is not stabilized.

Nice one pipedreams. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the deluxe congress is the only batch they made where they put the model number on the secondary blade.
I changed down a size for this evening. A few drams of Black Bottle in the eternal daylight of a western isles summer. Lovely.

Thanks. The number on the secondary blade is the serial number - 12 on mine - main blade is marked 1 of 35.

Absolutely!
Not usually a problem, 'round these here parts.
Do you mean, the entire pattern number is on the smaller blade? All one side, or front and back? In-teresting.
Update: okay, you made me look.
On my '13 Conductor Whittler, the pattern number is divided between the two secondary blades, 331 on the back of the coping blade and 313 on the back of the pen.
On my two-bladed '13 Pemberton, the entire pattern number is on the secondary pen blade, but only three numbers at a time-- 061 on the front, 213 on the back.
...For however this feeds into your observations to date.

That's a beauty Kris. I'm curious, isn't the edge now pretty serrated with such a deep etch on a scani grind?
Haha, my first thought was: 'That's a trapper, not a sunfish'
But yes, it is an amazing knife.
