That is just bad to the bone Mr.P.Fish Barlow and my Forum Barlow for Friday.
I re-dyed the red highlights on the forum Barlow because the factory red was fading towards a pink color. No pink knives for Mr. P. !

Carried the TL all week and probably through this weekend. Forgot how great of a work knife this is. Built like a tank.
Your cracked bone reminds me of how I've had to struggle to keep my 69 year old Gibson properly humidified the last few months.
Nice knife, buddy

Thanks Jeff. I keep this one and a few others in an old cigar humidor now. I believe you may have directed me to a company that specializes in a glue for that purpose.Your cracked bone reminds me of how I've had to struggle to keep my 69 year old Gibson properly humidified the last few months.
Nice knife, buddy

In the '60s, there was no internet, and no dedicated Boy Scout suppliy stores. Department stores like Wards, Carson's, and Sears all had a section of everything we needed ~ uniforms, handbooks, backpacks, mess kits, hatchets, and knives.
Mom outfitted me at the Carson's in Aurora, Illinois, starting me off with the enthralling blue Official Cub Scout Camper pocket knife by Imperial.
When I got older, she bought me the Official Boy Scout Camp Hatchet by Plumb, and the Official Imperial Boy Scout Camp Sheath Knife just like yours except the plastic handle was black, and the sheath had the Boy Scout emblem on it.
I broke part of the handle off proving to myself that the sheath knife was not a throwing knife.
Knowing my parents, those tools of manhood were discussed and approved by Dad.
Having two younger brothers may have been a factor in them disappearing while I was off at Champain/Urbana.
I had already been carrying a Schrade Trapper and medium Jack by then, but noone would confess about my knives.
