Jerry, Wasn't saying nothing about the price of the knife,
Postage from USA now ranges from $10 to $32.
When you add that to $120/150 knife it starts to cut into how many
you buy a month.
Don't need another job, pulling my share now.

I apologize for any unintended offense. Speaking mostly from my own financial perspective.

Here is my latest S&M of ebay. Was not out of a price range for Cotton Samplers. I was thriled to get it at the price I did get it at. $60.00

You got a great deal on that one Ken!

ringergary wrote:Hi all, Just started to collect S&M's.
Only have three.
Here's my latest, S&M Barlow.
I kinda like this brand.

Gary.

I got one of those 600 made Barlow’s Gary.
I use it when I go hiking or camping.
Very good knife though I was a little disappointed when I received it.
The blade had a slight wobble in it.
Since I planned on using it I fixed it myself instead of returning it to be replaced or repaired.
Other than that I like the knife.
It's the only S&M I own.
It's been holding up very nicely as a rugged user.

Iv'e got this nice S&M rope knife. It's one of 600. It's big and slim and light for its size. (and expensive)
Takes a real good edge and is a great companion.

Hey Joe.....your back!! .....Nice S&M.
Isn't that what they call a "Wildcat Driller" ?

Actually, Johnnie, that name does ring a bell. I bought it through A.G.Russell, (that was why it was so expensive) and I think that may have been the name of it. I'd forgot about that.
Why a "Wildcat Driller" I don't know. Marketing? Would you call it a rope knife?

JW. I only got 4.
I wont use mine,it's only for my Barlow collection.
They are a nice knife.
The Barlow is a real workhorse of a knife.

Gary.

Very nice Driller Joe! Those are sturdy and thin all at the same time, I use to have one then sold it. What was I thinkin?

Why a "Wildcat Driller" I don't know. Marketing? Would you call it a rope knife?

Joe...I'm not for sure why they call them that. ......It looks more like a sleeve board sun fish to me.
When I think of a rope knife....the master blade is more squared off than round.IMO.

She is a good looking knife. ..they make a 3 blade also.

Johnnie,
I agree with the sleeveboard sunfish discription. Isn't the sunfish/elephant toe also refered to as a rope knife?
Anyway, that's where I was going with that.
A three blade would be OK, but would add to the girth a bit. I'm glad you like it.

Perry, what were you thinkin'? .........Well, we've all been through that........There's more out there, buddy.

Isn't the sunfish/elephant toe also refered to as a rope knife?

Yes...I believe you are right. ...but this Camillus is more of what I would refer to as a "rope knife" .IMO.

Right, Johnnie. I remember a thread that I think was about rope knives, and remember that style.
I have a knife or two like that.
Thanks Johnnie.

Your welcome,Bro.
