Going to put this one in this thread also. Walden Knife Co barlow with fluted bolsters, pick bone, flush and square joints and a very faint "Cherokee" etch. Pretty sure this one is late 1800's. It seems like good old Waldens are not easy to find.

Beauty of a knife, John, great looking bone, as well as everything else. Nice to see another in your great collection, thanks for showing.

Beautiful old knife!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Thank you, all. I’ve had several Walden barlows, but this is my first with the bolster stamped.
