⚓Thanks to ‪@usnavyband‬ for the wonderful musical accompaniment - "Missouri" 🎶🎵

🔥The "1983 Schrade Heritage Barlow" refers to a premium edition of the classic Barlow folding pocket knife produced by Schrade Cutlery Company (under the Heritage Schrade line) in 1983. This model is part of Schrade's short-lived Heritage Series (primarily 1983–1986), which celebrated traditional American knife-making with high-quality materials, special engravings, and nostalgic packaging. The Barlow pattern—a two-blade design with a distinctive split bolster—has roots in 17th-century England but became iconic in American pocket knives. Schrade's version emphasizes durability and heirloom appeal, often marketed as "Everlastingly Sharp."

🔸History and Context:
Schrade, founded in 1904, produced the standard 206 Barlow from the 1970s onward as a nod to vintage designs. The 1983 Heritage edition elevated it with premium finishes, positioning it as a "high-water mark" for Schrade's production quality before the company's acquisition by American Safety Razor in 2004 (which shifted some manufacturing overseas). Collectors prize the 1983–1986 dated models for their USA-made authenticity and scarcity—fewer than expected for '84–'85, with unconfirmed rumors of no green bone Barlows in 1984. They represent Schrade's blend of tradition and innovation, often customized by artisans like Herman Williams.
🔸Collectibility and Value:
Heritage Barlows are sought after by knife enthusiasts for their craftsmanship and nostalgia. They're not mass-produced rarities but command premiums in unused condition due to the dated series.

🔥"Missouri" - Performed by the U.S. Navy Band, Country Current - The song, "Missouri", an original bluegrass/country tribute to the "Show Me" State (Missouri). It's performed by Country Current, a specialized ensemble within the United States Navy Band. Established in 1980, Country Current is the Navy's premier country and bluegrass group, known for blending traditional American roots music with themes of patriotism, service, and regional pride. The band uses their performances to highlight naval recruiting, morale, and cultural connections across the U.S.

🔸About the SongWriters and Origin: The song was written by Musician 1st Class Kenny Ray Horton, a member of Country Current. It celebrates Missouri's landscapes, culture, and spirit, with lyrics evoking rural charm, rivers, and heartfelt nostalgia (e.g., references to the Ozarks, the Mississippi River, and small-town life).
🔸Style: Upbeat bluegrass with banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and harmonies—typical of Country Current's repertoire, which draws from artists like Bill Monroe and modern bluegrass acts.
🔸Theme: As a tribute, it aligns with the Navy Band's mission to foster regional pride and support recruitment in heartland states like Missouri.

🔸This track isn't a traditional Navy anthem (like "Anchors Aweigh") or Missouri's state song ("The Missouri Waltz"). Instead, it's a custom piece created by active-duty musicians to engage audiences during tours and outreach.

🔸Notable Performances and Recordings:
Country Current has performed "Missouri" live multiple times, often in studio sessions or commemorative events.
Here are key examples:
🔸2013 Studio Performance: A polished recording highlighting the band's tight instrumentation and vocals. It's a staple in their setlist for Midwestern tours.
🔸2014 Live at WAMU's Bluegrass Country: Recorded in Washington, D.C., studios. Hosted by a public radio show, this version captures an energetic live vibe with audience interaction.
🔸2020 "Navy Band From Home" Version: A remote performance by Kenny Ray Horton, tied to the commissioning of the USS Missouri (LCS-19), an Independence-class littoral combat ship named after the state. (This was part of the Navy's virtual concert series during the COVID-19 pandemic).
