Böker Barlow Prime EDC Green

R1,395.00

The Böker Barlow Prime EDC is a classic slipjoint. A real traditional, but designed like a pocket knife that is more suited for EDC use.

The blade is made from O1. Not stainless, but like how they used to make it. Even easier to sharpen razor-sharp, which is a great advantage. Carbon steel also forms a patina in time. It changes colour because of fruit acids and moisture. That is why a couple drops of oil once in a while will keep it in great shape. Böker enhanced the blade with a coarse, etched stonewashed finish.

The handle is made from stunning micarta. A strong composite material made from burlap and synthetic resin. You open this knife with two hands and when opened the slipjoint makes sure the knife doesn’t close when you don’t want it to. Please note: it doesn’t completely lock the blade like a backlock!

Description

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 of all. The name of the classic probably goes back to a business-minded knife manufacturer of the same name from Sheffield, who began exporting the robust knives to North America around 1800. There they immediately enjoyed great popularity and so the first Barlow models appeared in the history of the Böker Manufactory at the end of the 19th century.

This integrally constructed version of the newly interpreted Böker Barlow Prime goes without the characteristic bolsters and is instead equipped with continuous, pleasantly contoured handle scales made of green Canvas Micarta. The lightweight construction can thus completely dispense with additional metal liners. The blade is made of O1 non-stainless carbon steel and has a special acid-wash finish. It is equipped with a modern, elongated ricasso and is opened by nail nick. The operating safety of the slipjoint pocket knife is increased by a 90-degree arrestor when opening and closing. The decorative rivets are made of brass. The knife comes with a high-quality felt case for storage and is handmade in the Böker Knife Manufactory in Solingen.
