All About Pocket Knives

Beautiful knife! It looks brand new. Nice photography, too.

John nice Daddy Barlow. Did Case cut the groove in the handle, or was it in the bone when they started?
I have a small XX Barlow with the groove, I like it. Again your 10 dot is really nice.

John is that what they call a worm groove in the handle of your Grand Daddy Barlow? I have a mini trapper that has a groove like that and was told it was a worm groove. It's a sweet looking knife for any age but for a ten dot it is amazing

Thanks everyone. I think the groove is the marrow channel, it is the inside of the bone.

Some fine looking bone there.

Found this one in same pawnshop as buck 110.
USA era 25 1/2 little Coke bottle. Has some pocket wear but great snap on both blades.
For 21.00 can't complain..

Nice one!

Great looking knives. Whats the story on that groove. I've seen it on some Barlow's but never on a Trapper.

I guess you're asking about this trapper, it where a vein was in the bone. I wish it were Second Cut.

Larry

Yes. Very unique. I like it.

Would this be the same type of groove on my 73 mini trapper?

Slomo, it could be, but I think it's just in the jigging.

Cool looking knife, love the way the blade lays so low when closed. Like how the spine and handle seem parallel. Love the point and that bullet end bolster, and the single flute. Whatever TBose did on that one is working.

Nice looking Teardrop you've got there, ~Q~. I didn't know that knife was available with a Wharncliffe blade. I had only seen Spear blade versions until now. Nice score!

This little 63090 came in the mail Friday. I sold a knife just like this about a month ago and I missed it immediately. Had to get another one.

Strange thing but the bone has turned brown in places since I've gotten the knife. Between the shield and bolster on the mark side and near the left bolster on the pile side. It wasn't like that when I got it. Anybody know what might have caused that?

I lubricated the joints with some Quick Release but I've never had the bone discolor like this before. Not sure if that's what caused it or not.
