Can you spot the reproduction?? All you old farts keep quiet and let the newer guys figure it out!!
Very bottom my friend

Yeah, you're young enough; and right, too!!
But pretty soon you won't qualify as a whippersnapper, Kaleb! You have too good an eye; an old knifer at heart

I like the style of those Eye Witness Barlows, Paul. The blade looks like an older Case Tested Barlow. Check this one for comparison;

Yeah, you're right, getting old fast

The striations on the bone and the large spun pins were a dead giveaway

Here's that ulster. I picked it up last year at a flea market for $1, the pivot pin was worn or busted (can't remember) a new one set it right, with good walk and talk. Have been kicking the idea around of cleaning the blades up and/or rehandling it (the one handle has a tight crack at the butt pin). But still haven't decided.

Here are the Tested XXs as promised. Digging for these, I found a bunch more that I had squirreled away for a rainy day, and forgotten. My wife laughs that I can hide something from myself!!

I just tell her, that's where oak trees come from, and besides, it's like Christmas all over again

Upnorth; Very Nice Indeed

O.K. What little I have learned about Schrade, so far, tells me that this Schrade Cut.Co, and the Belknap above it came from the same place. Schrade made knives for Belknap Hardware; if you look closely, you will see the rivets and other details are identical. The Belknap was used, and then repolished (cleaned

) so the blade is narrower, but the DNA shows through.
I thought I had gathered all my Cut. Co.s together for display. Don't know how I could have missed this minty little guy. Almost had another Oak tree!
Please enjoy;

These two are sponsored by Muskrat Man! He warned me not to hold back any stag, so here is a brace of Ka-Bars, in their lordly regalia!
Actually they're another pair from my (nearly) forgotten stash!

Actually, this is the rain forest, but it's been pretty nice lately; sunny, but not too hot! (Is that what you meant?)

Hey Charlie, holding back the stags eh? I knew you had to have some hanging around somewhere

Very Nice CutCo Belknap duo!
Here's I believe a one of a kind Frank Giorgianni scrimmed Schrade 206 in bone:

Much nicer Scrim than most of them, Eric; a real sailor's piece! Makes you think of old F. Giorgianni sittin' on deck doin' it and waiting for a whale to surface!

I get it now! I'm just glad I didn't find any RUST

Awright, you guys asked for it, I'm not holding back no more!!!
Here is my, 'till now, secret Case stash! I was going to catalog all the differences in Case Barlows, and it just got out of hand. More keep showing up, so I quit for a while, but I may pick it up again. Trouble is, they cost a lot more now

!
You'll find a TestedXX that didn't make it into the Tested picture above, and a Clauss, which I understand Case made on contract, and also a couple of 6205 models. Lotta redbone here!
