And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Barlow knife pattern a classic ? It was mentioned in THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER, written in 1876. To me, that makes it a classic. Case has been around nearly as long.
I got my Dad's old one years ago, it's not a Case but the same design. It's on the shelf next to my work bench with the small blade open, I used it to clear a Titebond wood glue opening the other day.
