I'm 67, and I first had a Barlow. But, Grandaddy carried a "German made" Tree Brand. There were two Tree Brands sold, and the "German made" one had different steel, superior steel, IMO. Even though my Dad owned a very big country store and sold knives, it was many years before I saved up enough to buy myself a German Made Tree Brand three blade Stockman's knife.

I still have one of my Grandad's. That is the knife that I remember from my childhood.
