Böker Prime EDC Black Barlow Folding Pocket Knife

The Barlow, with its characteristic teardrop shape, is one of the oldest models, originating from English pocket knives in the 17th century. The name is said to come from a knife manufacturer named Barlow from Sheffield, who started exporting these knives to North America in the 1800s. The Barlow quickly gained popularity in North America, leading to the appearance of the first Barlow models in Boker Manufactory's history in the late 19th century.

The Boker Barlow Prime is a modern interpretation that features a construction without bolsters, replacing them with black Canvas Micarta handle scales. This design allows for a lightweight construction without the need for additional metal liners. The blade is made of ice-hardened N690 steel with a satin finish, opened by nail nick. It also includes a modern ricaso and a slip-joint with a 90-degree arrestor for increased safety during opening and closing. The decorative rivets are made of stainless steel, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the knife.

This modern classic Barlow by Boker is a collector's item, handmade in the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen, Germany. It comes with a high-quality felt case for storage and safekeeping. The knife measures 6.1 inches in overall length, with a blade length of 2.76 inches and weighs 2oz. It is a perfect combination of traditional design and modern craftsmanship, making it a must-have for any knife enthusiast.
