Diamond in the rough. Fabulous scales, full blades, cool tang stamp, great era. I'm jealous of that one big time.

What a great find that Barlow is John! Beautiful color in that bone.

I found this little jack at a large local gunshow yesterday, been used some, the handles have some tight cracks but the blades are tight and snap both ways after some clean up. Case XX era, no pattern stamp but its an 87 frame. 3.25 inches long. I'm gonna carry this a bit I think.

One of my all time favorites and a gift from Volcano Q, appreciate it blade brother, '65-69 Mini T, the red looks even better than these mediocre pictures. Good looking and build like a tank.

One of my fave patterns - I have one just like this, but the sides are more brownish. Hardest snap closed of any Case I've ever owned
