Markings and construction would seem to indicate it was probably made between 1942 and the end of the war.....I guess I should have said “most likely” not WWII production?

I’m afraid I do not. It was given to me by the wife of a friend after he passed.My Father ( Rest in Peace ) gave me an identical Russell barlow when I graduated High School. It has seen a lot of wear but still is a favorite. Do you have any idea how old your knife is ?
Nice horn Steve. Gunstocks are a rare sighting here.
This knife actually has four blades.That’s a fine looker, Travis. Any chance of seeing all three blades?

The Remington Granddaddy Barlow will be nicely tucked away in my belt sheath.

I put the chisel edge on the stone at the same angle, give it a few swipes, then strop both sides.I have no idea how to sharpen a punch
HelpfulI put the chisel edge on the stone at the same angle, give it a few swipes, then strop both sides.
Basically the same as sharpening a chisel - never introduce the flat no bevel side to the stone except flat, as needed to remove rust.
That is beyond awesome... I LOVE that!
