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.
Without a doubt, its utility as a tactical knife is not the only feature that makes the Kwaiken FLipper from Lucas Burnley so popular. Its plain elegance is certainly also a key element for many. In an attempt to more easily bridge the gap from GI to gentlemen's knife, the new Kwaiken Mini FLipper has the same outstanding characteristics as its big brother at significantly reduced (and therefore pocket-compatible) dimensions. And the Kwaiken Mini FLipper also uses cobalt-alloyed VG-10 as the blade steel. The clip rounds out the features. The carbon scales and satin-finished blade make the Kwaiken Mini Carbon into a true gem.
