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.
The newly interpreted Boker Barlow Prime is equipped with shorter nickel silver bolsters and convinces in this version with scales of resistant burlap micarta, brass liners and the carbon steel O1 as blade material. To emphasise the authenticity of the knife, the blade is protected from harmful environmental influences with a special acid-wash finish. It is equipped with a MODern, elongated ricasso, the operating safety of the slipjoint pocket knife is increased by a 90 degree arrestor when opening and closing the blade. The characteristic teardrop shape of the Barlow can be traced back to the English pocket Knives of the 17th century, making it certainly one of the oldest MODels ever. Handmade in the Boker knife manufactory Solingen.
