A new hiking stick?
Being new to TEW I could only offer a guess, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will jump in. If it isn’t just aesthetic, it may have something to do with the flush tang, although the 23 has a flush tang and no step in the bolster. Hopefully someone will educate us.So, I was going to ask if that stepped off bolster is common. Don't think I've ever seen one that way... I now take it that it isn't? Why is it like that anyway?Certainly attention grabbing!
Beautiful Barlows Jeff!These needed to get out of the cigar box.
The little one’s from ‘72, and the big one’s from ‘70.View attachment 1523940
