The Barlow is a classic, traditional profile, single blade slip joint folder that has a timeless appeal.

Brand new, direct from Boker Solingen.
Blade: The iconic Barlow clip point blade is executed in acid washed and tumbled N690 stainless steel, a practical and wear hiding finish for this utilitarian blade. Equipped with a full flat grind the slim clip point provides ample performance for daily tasks. The blade opens via a long pull with crisp slip joint operation.
Handle: Integral raw copper bolsters and liners house the blade with contrasting black burlap Micarta scales. This combination of materials looks great delivering a rugged build with modern performance and a singular look. Raw copper will develop a unique patina over time. A stainless steel back spring delivers smooth yet snappy operation with a solid half stop.
Bohler N690: N690 is a high quality stainless steel, considered an upgrade to 440C. It has higher hardness and wear resistance for better edge retention while sacrificing some toughness. Corrosion resistance is high, at or better than VG-10. Easy to sharpen, this is a well-balanced steel for daily carry and use.
