Cool pic. Toting a stag knife myself (lambsfoot) and a S&W .38 Special (rosewood grips).It's fixed blade Friday. Toting this old Gutmann 461 that was always in my dads tackle box when I was a kid. Tip was broken, I reground it years ago. I blued it, or maybe its a vinegar patina? I don't remember. I made the sheath. Think its been sharpened a few times?

Look at how thin the frame is, barely thicker'n a 2 bit piece
Look at the secondary blade, as thin as it is someone still had the skill to put a swedge on it. It's so thin it flexes like a fillet knife almost 90* and springs back straight with no ill effect.

Carrying these three today. The Benchmade doesn't fit the theme, but I'm expecting some copper scales to come in today, so I pocketed it in expectation.
Beautiful Bulldog Barlow; you have so many excellent knives!!![]()

Wow! That is robbery!Thank you Mr. Gary, yes I have very good knives, but I would like to have many more, that would only be possible if I were in the United States of America.
Here in Portugal it is very difficult and expensive to buy knives outside the European Union, I returned a knife because the Customs wanted me to pay € 76.00, after having paid € 60.00 to the seller, this is unbearable and greatly increases the cost of the knife...![]()
Thanks Steve! So is the bone on your SW today. I just looked at it again and it’s amazing.
Thank you very much my friend .Old Engineer I’m liking the Case Barlow’s! And your TEW is just timeless.
