Just got back from the flea market!! Can't believe I found this in such good condition!! I have been looking for one of these for a while actually. (No, not the barlow, lol,)

I have newer ones but none with the old cross! and For only 25$$

The tang stamp reads ELINOX on the mark side and Victorinox Stainless Switzerland Rostfrei on the pile side. Sakhome says this tang stamp was used 1957-1974.

Does that mean this thing is between 60-43 years old!!!???? It sure doesn't look it. Blades and implements look barely used if any use at all. That's crazy.

My wife and I are just back from a month in South Korea.



My knife for the entire trip was my trusty Vic Cadet (my brother-in-law laughed when I took this photo - same reaction I get here in the U.S).



When I picked up all our mail at the Post Office, I had a couple of new Barlows. This one was in my pocket today.

Thanks r8shell. I think I found the one you speak of DSC_1706 | BladeForums.com. Handle shape looks very similar. With mine, the handle opens around the blade. Once the handle is opened fully, the blade is locked in the open position.

That's even niftier than I thought. Thank you for the additional info, Corn Fed.

I like carrying knives that are older than I am.

Also, I'm toting a new "Flea Market Find" Kent made by Camillus for Woolworth's. Possibly 1930's vintage.

Started off this Saturday stag-gering. Settled in now with this Stidham's Knives (Belpre, OH) Dog Head Cigar Whittler. Rhett Stidham was an engineer at the DuPont plant in Belpre before he became a knife dealer, traveling to shows and eventually setting up shop in Meadows of Dan, VA. He founded the Randall Knife Society. Mr. Stidham died in 2011.

This knife is number 561 out of the 1,000 he commissioned from Kissing Crane (Solingen, Germany) and patterned after the 1975 NKCA club knife. That knife was, per NKCA president Jim Parker's instruction, an Anglo Saxon whittler defined by Case Pattern 91, which Case calls an equal end or cigar whittler, 4.5" closed. The NKCA order, also from Kissing Crane, in 1974 was for 1,200 knives. In addition to the dog's head on this knife's mark-side cover, the main blade has an etched scene of a pointer "on point" and HAND FORGED next to the tang. It was produced in the late 1970's, I believe. I take this knife with me each year on my annual pheasant hunt in South Dakota.
