Edit: just saw your other post ID it as a pen trapper.

Thanks, woodwalker. I had a small number of knives even back then, just not all at the same time because I traded with other kids a lot. Somehow I held on to this pen, probably because it was one of the few knives that I got new. I would wish I'd held on to more knives but then I think about the saying: "Wish in one hand & sh*t in the other & see which hand fills up first." I haven't tried that but I think it would demonstrate that wishing doesn't necessarily produce the desired results so I'm happy to have what I've got.woodwalker wrote:That is a beautiful barlow. 50 years wow!!geocash wrote:One of my favorite Barlows & a pen I bought at the local hardware store some 50 years ago.

Why thank you sir! Ain't no flies on that one of yours either!Ivoryman wrote:Thanks redden, great looking Tidioute yourself. I like that bone.
Colonel, I dig that baby, and love the 80 year experience. Great looking knife.
Couple days with this Camillus Cutlery Co Sword Brand 1941-46 equal end with some Rogers bone. Not quite 80 yrs, but getting close. The blade is thin and wide enough to make for a very thin behind the edge profile and very easy to sharpen, much more so than my thicker stock blades. Love this old steel.



Outstanding combo. That Sig is mighty nice in its own too.garddogg56 wrote:Case Muskrat and a Sig today
That is just too cool that you have kept that little pen for that long!! I know what you mean, I wish I would have held onto a lot of different things when I was a kid. But glad for you that you have so many memories with your little pen. And thank you for the nice comment on my old 72.geocash wrote:Thanks, woodwalker.

Yes sir it's a second gen 72 with Rogers Bone. Sure like to carry and use it but I am mighty careful that no change or keys goes into that pocket with it! Thanks Doglegg for the nice comments on the old gal!!doglegg wrote:Woodwalker, knice old bones. That a 72?![]()
QS I think green is your color of choice.

I'm not a trapper guy only because of the long spey blade. Just don't care for it that much.
But yours? No spey, I like it!
And I'll like it even more if it's 3.5 to 4 inches
Seems like a proper thing to do with such a knife.Ivoryman wrote:Tracking with a Tidioute 66 Stockman
