    HI John,
    You are developing quite a collection. I like the ones you acquired at the show. I tried to send a reply to your recent email but it didn't go through. Looks like a great deal on the club knife. I would expect it's orig cost would be more than you paid for it. I like the older barlow. Looks mint. Good hunting ! Dad
