If you have only one that’s a beautiful and historic one to have!

I have a Barlow and lockback both in stag, but no signature.

Thanks for posting!

Nice looking coon for sure. I’ve been to mule day and believe me it is jam packed with people and all kinds of mules and competitions going on all weekend. Be proud of that knife and the autograph.
