I really do think the Anza might be your spirit knife, Scott.
Love the green & yellow sawcut Delrin knives from Camillus, QS. I have a couple Remington-stamped Barlows from the Heritage collection plus a 4 1/4" Remington stockman with a bunch of notable nuggets, including the muskrat clip main blade (almost never see those on big stock knives) and the fact that it seems to have a model # stamp from a totally different knife on it. When I got it, the pile-side "sawcut" had been melted flat likely due to a miscalculation in knife display, so it went into the carry rotation and hasn't let me down. That slim 'rat clip along with a big broad large stockman sheepsfoot make for quite the blade combo.
Every so often I forget just how much I love the patented Queen "offset Barlow" pattern of yore. Then I carry one of mine and I'm reminded how cool they are. Not sure if any design snaps as crisply or authoritatively as this one does for the size.
