Congratulations. Looks like a Providence Cutlery barlow. Hasn’t been lost long from the looks of it. Not a rare or particularly valuable item but should clean up nicely and make a good user.

Yep, good steel in that one, and you cleaned it up really well. Great find!

Great job on the clean up and a nice find. I like that blade combo.

You saved it and now it can do some work for you. Great ground score, as I would call it.

large blade was stuck in ground and had to get needle nose pliers to get small to open. I used diamond files (you can see one in a few of the pics) to get most of the discoloration, rust, and light pitting. Then 180, 220, 400, 600, 800, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000, 7000 Silicon carbide sand paper. Sharpened on Japanese whetstones.

Looks like walking the dog worked out in favor for you. Very nice clean up.
Enjoy your new EDC.
