The various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have been convincing special forces all over the world for yeARS and have emerged as an icon among Tactical Knives. The knife goes back to the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from World War II and was designed by Col. Rex Applegate. The elite soldier coordinated secret operations throughout Europe during the war and even became President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal guard.
The typical teardrop shape of the Barlow goes back to 17th-century English pocketKnives, which certainly makes it one of the world's oldest knife MODels. The knife probably got its name from the business-savvy knife producer in Sheffield who began exporting the sturdy knife to North America around 1800. It became very popular from the start there. By the end of the 19th century, the first Barlow MODels appeared in the history of the Boker Manufactory.The Boker Barlow Prime is a new interpretation with shorter bolsters and a blade of nitrogen-alloyed N690. It has a MODern elongated ricasso and a slipjoint made more secure with a 90-degree lock-in when opening or closing. The bolsters and tang are made from stainless steel, while the handle scales consist of stabilized wood of the domestic hornbeam.
