25 .... That ought to last ya awhile! Really like the knife and I'm sure I'll get good use out of it.... TD

vikingdog, That is a nice looking knife. Thanks for posting... TD

I'll take a picture of it later to post, but I'm carrying my 1996 Case Limited Edition Series III Barlow w/ Rogers jigged Butternut bone handles. I've been carrying this one on a pretty regular basis since I bought it new 14 years ago.

When I carry two knives, I carry it plus one of my Case Razors (jade, sunburst, periwinkle, antique bone, elkhorn, key lime or Crandall green). Here's a picture of the Key Lime that I bought from Collector Knives (and this is his picture):

Nice choice! great lookin knife and I wouldnt mind carryin that at all!

63rdOVI - Nice looking bone razor! TD

Very cool knife 63rdOVI and welcome to AAPK. I look forward to seeing the barlow too. It's on of my favorite patterns.

Thanks Gino, I love the old Queen stuff.

Viking where in pa do you live? I am from Pa. PGH

I'm in north central PA Gino, near Williamsport.

Carrying a SAK Spartan today. Hasn't been carried in years so I thought it was time, g.... TD

The Vic Spartan is a classic base model! I've used...and lost a few of them!

froggy, I agree... I have had this one probably since the mid or early 80's and it is still tight as a drum. I've used it a lot so it's worn a little but still holding up, g... TD

Here's the not-very-good-picture I promised:

Nice looking Barlow. It's in good shape too for being an DEC for so long.

Great lookin knife - thanks for sharin it

Looks really nice

Thanks, guys!

I like the Barlow so much that I carry it by itself in my pocket--no keys, change, or even my soft leather wallet--so there's no chance of dinging up that great butternut bone handle.

Does that make me a little paranoid or just overly protective??

I think it just means you want to carry your nice old knife and that you want to keep your nice old knife nice. (Try saying that three times fast)


Nothing wrong with that!

That is why if I only have two front pockets there will be a Chinese knife in those pockets.

Change along with one in left and a Fenix flashlight along with the one in right.

Just can't do that to my good knives!

If I have cargo pockets then something else will get carried....

Nothing paranoid about taking good care of good knives!

Maybe I'm weird, but the first thing I did when I got my GEC Mink Skinner (the most I've ever paid for a pocket knife) was sharpen it.

Immediately after that I dropped it in my pocket, which already contained a set of keys and a cell phone.

Right after that I smiled because I knew I had found a very nice knife for pocket carry.

I bought it to use. I won't abuse it, but it will get carried. I've got another GEC which I have hardly breathed on. It probably won't get carried--it's REAL purty. I need to get some pics of that up here in the proper place.

If I had a nice old Case like that Barlow, I'd probably getting one of those leather slips to carry it in.

Cooter, that ol skinner will become one of your best buds.
