Gino, that 62 is a "mother for ya" as my buddies used to say, a real looker and quite the blade combo! Excellent find, but don't let it send that Viper to the bench. There's room for both in your pockets!
David, I'm a big fan of '70s Case Barlows. Is that a 6-dot? I've got a similar Delrin model in my totin' box that needs a little clean-up and an edge, then it's getting added to the rotation.

I'll bet yours snaps like a bear trap too.

It's probably my favorite cow knife, Phil, even with the chipped Rogers bone on the mark side. It happened long enough ago that the chipped part of the bone itself has taken on a pocket-worn character which doesn't really detract at all from the knife. I have no idea what the "H" stamps on the bolsters mean, or how they got there - it's been suggested that they stand for "HOK".

Here it is open from a couple years ago - the only difference is a little more patina on the main blade these days:
Here are today's totes - a couple cousins from different sides of the Allegheny Nat'l Forest...
