That's a nice old UTICA, Cato, especially with the older arched stamp. How's the fit and finish in the Kutmaster peanut?

have not seen this one on this thread
as you may know Camillus 72's and EO's are my favorites right now, especially bone
I think all mine are delrine and the bone 72's are expensive so I grabbed this one for not much more than a Camillus delrin. not a real whittler, but that is in another thread

edge 213: I too was drawn by those green scales. Yours looks pristine. Mine is far from it. Ordinarily I take good care of my knives. But I have to confess that my Utica is an exception thru no fault of its own. It just happened that I started using it to ream out my smoking pipes and, well, did not keep up with the cleaning/maintenance. I may get another one and treat it right. :oops:

Quick Steel,
No need to feel bad about usin' your Utica Barlow, that's what they were made for! Kinda' like buyin' a new truck, you sure hate to get the first scratch or ding but after that it's a truck to be used ::tu:: .
