Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Some extremely decent bone on this very well made American Stockman from 1987. Pleased with this bargain, for sure :thumbup:

Great Winchester, Will. Looks like a 3964? Given that mint or new old stock examples of these regularly go for less than the MSRP was 30 years ago, I agree that they're a phenomenal value.
 
John and Todd, I believe these to be pretty recent and Canal Street comes to mind for the maker? They're so similar to the Coopersmith? releases.

Now that said, I could very easily be wrong:o
 
John You are right, a 3964. Prices are very favourable, the Collector Mind has moved on to other targets....;) A great Work Knife with plenty in the looks dept. too just the right dimensions and weight. Solid but not some back axle in your pocket...:eek::D

Thanks, Will

I did some additional looking. I found a thread about these from a few years back. It's here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1043923-Barlows-for-Dog-Lovers-Ka-Bar-Lo!!!. I'm going to quote forum member Hawaiianhawk below. Mine is in good shape but has some hallmarks of age. It seems like it's about 30 odd years old. Here goes:

"From the Kabar forum, courtesy of Paul Tsujimoto, senior engineer for Kabar:

The KA-BAR -LO was a tradional Barlow produced by KA-BAR. I don't have the exact dates but it was produced in the 1920s. KA-BAR produced the Barlow up to the 1970s.
The 1920s KA-BAR-LO came with black composite and smooth bone handles.During the later years that changed to Delrin. "KA-BAR-LO" was stamped transversely across the long front bolster.Of course the stamp changed from 'KA-BAR' to 'ka-bar'during the 1960s. There were two versions: a Spear point main blade and pen; and a Clip point main blade /pen combo. The Clip Bladeknife was designated with a 1/2.
In 1983 the KA-BAR Collectors Club Knife produced a Dog's Head Version in Stag with "KA-BAR-LO" stamped longitudinally on the Bolster. In 1985 a Dogs Head Version in Jigged Bone was produced; No stamping on the Bolster. In 1990 a bent Barlow was produced with a Clip MainBlade and Jigged Bone in Green and Blue.One had a dogs head, the other had an oval shield. No Stamping on the Bolster."

Thanks, obviously, to Hawk and Paul for the info. Hope quoting the post was okay.

Well makes more sense as to why it's so pristine. This little knife had to have been a safe queen. Thank you for finding this John.
 
I like the style of clip blade on that Katz, John. Slanted bolsters are a nice touch also!
