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 name gives away the construction: Newton Martin's design is an ultra compact Kerambit, just without the center part. As a result, this knife is a particularly compact companion that can discreet be carried around the neck with the included Kydex sheath and the ball chain. The handle opening provides multiple options. On one hand, the finger can be put through the opening in order to obtain very secure grip. On the other hand, holding the knife with the whole hand also allows for different appliCATions. Subsequently, you could even add a Paracord wrapping. No matter which option you choose, the grooved knife always ensures optimum grip and safety. The titanium coated blade is made of 440C stainless steel and has a thickness of 5 mm.
