What year is your barlow? They seemed to do the best deep redbone on their barlows.
That poison ivy there could certainly make your day interesting!
The Barlow is a 1970; and you are correct, the redbone is stupendous on those. I think that kind of redbone went back to the Case XX USA and Case XX periods and maybe earlier?
We have lot of parks in our county. This one is one of the oldest and with all the rain we have had lately the flora has exploded. Poison Ivy in particular has exploded in this park; it's hard to find a place where there isn't any!

Rousing red teardrop, Dean!
That's a very attractive pattern, Dean! How big is a mini muskrat? When were they made? Do they have a model number or just a name on the tang stamp, like the regular muskrat?

Thank you for your comments, Gary. The Mini Muskrat pattern has been around for a long time; probably as long as the Muskrat. Like Case's Muskrat and Tiny Muskrat, the Mini Muskrat has no pattern number. The Mini Muskrat is the same size and design as Case's 6318 medium stockman (there most popular model). The Mini is very pocketable and much thinner than the stockman.

Thank you, Gary. I am always stunned by how good looking your Stag RR stockman is.
