Thank you Dwight, nice Ulsters, the bone handle ones with the Ulster bolster are not easy to find in good condition.

My Barlow collection is slowly growing. This 77 takes the cake for me though out of the ones I have thus far.

Marrow bone makes for a good traditional Barlow.

Wonderful knife, Johnny, I'd have trouble keeping that one out of my pocket.

That Joseph Rodgers was such a fun find! I found the lambsfoot at the same yard sale I found the steel at. One of the cooler things about living so close to multiple military bases is all the interesting things that come up for sale.

Nice spread. Is the white scrimshaw Schrade covered in bone? I keep eyeing these and want to be sure before I reel one in.

The Schrade SC506 scrimshaw barlow is synthetic. It was produced in 1982 and features scrimshaw artwork by Mr. Frank Giorgianni.

Sorry for missing these posts guys! It sounds like you have some great yard sales Brian I never thought about the military base angle, that's pretty interesting

Wonderful knife, Johnny, I'd have trouble keeping that one out of my pocket.

Yeah, me too!

I shall have to be quick though he knows far more than I do...

Thanks it was pure luck at the knife show,I was over awed by the choice and couldn't think straight.
I had to put some back as it was cash only and I had emptied my wallet.
Thankfully I didnt put this one back, I may have put some equally good ones back though.
