Böker Barlow Prime
The characteristic teardrop shape of the Barlow can be traced back to English pocket knives of the 17th century, making it one of the oldest models in existence. The name of this classic probably comes from an enterprising knife manufacturer of the same name from Sheffield, who began exporting the robust knives to North America around 1800. They immediately enjoyed great popularity there, and so the first Barlow models appeared in the history of the Böker factory at the end of the 19th century.
The reinterpreted Böker Barlow Prime features shorter bolsters and an impressive blade made of nitrogen-alloyed N690 steel. It has a modern, elongated false edge, and the slip joint is secured with a 90-degree locking mechanism when opening and closing.
The jaws and tang are made of stainless steel, and the handle scales are made of stabilised Scandinavian birch wood.
