That knife checks a lot of boxes for me. Simple elegant pattern with a well ground blade. If only it had ebony scales....
For me a similar knife

There is a three-rivet model that has a black hardwood handle. Could be ebony?

Haha, I think the most dangerous thing I do with these knives is set them up for pics.
Your Guardian's Lambsfoot is looking rather dapper, good sir.
The Stag Jack is riding along with me today.

Y2K trapper!
Nice!
I like the Lebanon area. I used to live 30 or 40 miles north of there, and my favorite stretch for smallmouth bass fishing on the Big Niangua is down that way. God's country.
That was in the '80s ~ I'm not sure if Shepherd Of The Hills outlet store was there then. Our trips to Lebanon mostly centered on getting fencing, feed, and miscellaneous homestead stuff at Bill's Farm 'N Home with Grandpa in his old Ford Pickup. And I had my Schrade middleman jack and Schrade yellow trapper, and very little money, so I had no concept of buying a pretty pocket knife like your stag barlow to collect.
Thanks for triggering some good memories.
Pt-Luso @Ace Rimmer Y'all make a great case for loving lovely Case knives. Thank you for sharing them.
Case definitely knew how to build a great Barlow!It's always nice to see the old Case Barlows. I have one that's about 44 years old & another that could possibly even be as old as me! (And that's old.) I have several TC & NF Barlows that are nice, but I'll take the old Case XX's any day.
Thanks Jack!Sensational pair Ron![]()
Yessir!'Bout right.
The ultimate 81/43 Tidioute micarta combo. Baling twine and bagels have no chance today. The victory is mine.

That's a really nice pair, Buzz! All you need now is a BF barlow to go with them.
OOOh--even better!I don't have a BF barlow, but I do happen to have one of these.
