Yes, it's really pretty blue bone. You can feel the etch but it's not deep. I prefer the stamped or engraved bolsters. I think it will hold up for me fine but I always carry in a slip or fifth pocket so it won't be rubbed. Other than a poor main blade grind it is very well done. I got the purple barnboard Barlow last month and it was very well done, even had a good blade grind.Love that new Case Barlow in blue !
I always said that a blue bone Barlow would be purty, but, nobody ever paid any attention to me. Case proved me right !
I wonder about the bolster etch or stamp ...... can you feel it ? Do you think the etch or stamp is deep enough to last over time ? I already know that Case blade etches are much deeper than GEC blade etches, which made me ask.
Two beauties!Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Finally looks like we’re going to get some nice weather for the next few days. Keeping me company my day two barlow and Mr. Peanut. Have a great day folks!View attachment 2504375View attachment 2504376
