Thanks Bob, we could use some rain but no complaints right now.I see many figuring out the perfect combo for their carries. Good choices Todd.
Enjoy the fire for me...we have rin.
Nice one Bart, can’t get over how blue that sky is!Yesterday’s carry, a Schrade 893.
I don’t even know yet, Randy. I haven’t gotten to it yet. But since it’s hard to mess up a P90…
When I was a teen, this would have been about 1970, visiting my cousin in rural Indiana, we rode bikes to an old abandoned factory to explore. We were able to get inside, and it was a real time capsule. I have no idea what they made there, but it had every type of tooling machinery imaginable ~ lathes, mills, drill presses, and a lot of others, all driven by a comlex overhead network of drive belts.Thank you Jack
Old Schrade Cut Co and new Viper...
Thank you, Todd.
That pocket knife really is a jewel. Be super proud of that one.
Such a Beauty.
Thank you, Bart.
I Love a Classic.
Nice! That's a great blade combo! What do know about the knife? Is old Queen, or new Queen? I know they used a lot of D2. I'm no expert on the brand.Same as yesterday! As I continue to venture down Knife Rd., I've struggled to accept the ole' barlow pattern. My tendency to overthink things just couldn't get past the perceived bulk:blade ratio. With that being said, I'm pretty sure this has already become one of my favorites. Super solid and a bit different. I'm mostly grateful that it didn't come with a box.

I don't know all the details, but this is a Queen Dan Burke "DB" barlow (small). I think it was made around 2000ish, maybe later. Almost certain it's D2. I've wanted one of these since I first saw them! Super solid and snappy!! Just needs a good sharpening. Hard to tell in the pics, but the color is very similar to Case's chestnut bone (one of my favorites). This one won't be leaving anytime soon!
Thanks Jeff, I sit and think about what a vintage knife has been through over all the years gone by. Some where used up and some still used but well maintained, as if they needed that knife for years to come and still used it, but also they were mindful of the use it'd provide by keeping it serviced, sharpened and oiled etc...I don’t even know yet, Randy. I haven’t gotten to it yet. But since it’s hard to mess up a P90…
I’ve heard good things about the P94s.
Interesting that they used A2. Probably a nice upgrade. I think ceramics are the usual P90 magnets and they usually sound fine, but in Fender type single coils, I much prefer Alnicos. I have a set in A3 in a Tele that aren’t going anywhere, but I’d like to try some A2s sometime.
Nice looking Axe, Randy ~ what is that blonde amp?
And quite a lovely Catt!

Seeing your beautiful SCC makes me imagine a Holyoke Belting salesman carrying a stash of those knives to hand out to purchasing managers in hopes of a nice factory belt order.
Thank you Sir.
Oh OK! I remember the Dan Burke Barlows now! Here's a link I found. Looks like the one you have, https://www.knifecenter.com/item/QN9867/queen-dan-burke-2-blade-smallI don't know all the details, but this is a Queen Dan Burke "DB" barlow (small).

! She lucked out having been born on Veterans Day she always gets it off. keeping me company will be the Harvey Special and Lil Ike. Have a great weekend folks! 
Here is a DB Barlow with a more orangish cover. Great knife. D2 steel. Just a little warning about the backspring. They sometimes break.Same as yesterday!
