Woh! That is so cool. Thank you very much. Time to get out the leather and make a new slip for the occasion. The generosity on this forum is astounding.

I tried sending a PM from my phone through Tapatalk , but looks like leghog has them turned off. I'll try again tomorrow from a computer. Maybe there's an email option I'm missing.

I have no PM. Me receiving emails via BF has been hit or miss lately. Mostly miss. You'll need to send it VM.

Wahoo, look what arrived today. Leghog, thank you for your generosity. These are my first actual Made in USA Barlow's. No wait, I have one other, a Kbar. But it's recent production, not a classic like these. So these are my second through fifth US made Barlow's. Can you tell I'm really excited? [emoji16]. Definitely top shelf display, with one going into a pocket. [emoji41]

The very first knife I ever picked out on my own, and handed money across the counter, was for an Imperial Barlow at a Cub Scout day camp. I used the money sent with me to buy lunch. I was probably 8 or 9-ish. It looked almost exactly like the Atlanta Wires model (less the advertising). I had it well into my late teens before it disappeared. And I really regret losing it.

Thank you again.
