There is the simplicity, the sturdy presence, and often the simple but proud insignia on the bolster. I told him it was about time someone made the closest thing to a traditional Barlow that could be achieved in today's world, and he agreed this would be a worthy achievement.

Me too! I foolishly promised too many of those un-dyed Ancients, and when I looked for one to archive - they were all gone!!

Thanks Mamba, they are both very nice pieces, but the Amboyna burr is my favorite. As so many knives do, it looks much better than it does in the photo.

Neat! I have one like it too. The mark side is stamped "WESTERN" over "BOULDER COLO" over Made in U.S.A.". The pile side of the pocket blade is stamped"822". Any idea of production era? I assume that the scales are Delrin so 1961 or later. Odd that the linings are steel.
