Description
Specifications

With its characteristic extended length nickel-silver bolsters and the wider blade, the classic "Barlow" model is a smaller and entirely pocket-compatible companion, yet is also large enough to tackle most everyday cutting chores with ease. The polished blade is made from 440C, while premium Grenadil is used for the scales.

Needs Work

Posted by Reece on 25th Jan 2020

The overall build quality of this knife is very good. Smooth transitions and good finish.

However, on my knife the tip is exposed when the knife is closed. It's only about a millimeter and not really exposed enough to catch on anything, yet, but it's an issue nevertheless. It will become more exposed as the blade is sharpened as the tip will travel further along the spine of the blade. This is a very disappointing design flaw in my opinion. I will need to alter the knife to fix it.

Otherwise the knife is almost perfect.

Almost perfect

First noticed the nice shinny bolsters, not at all tarnished or scratched as you'd often find out of the box with Case.
African Blackwood finish of varying gloss which was a slight let down. Solingen inlay to scales had a slight (>1mm) burr evidently from when they'd attached the emblem, again not ideal.
Blade centering perfect. Moderately sharp, quite a high angle from the looks of the grind. Tried a 20 degree angle per side with the sharp maker and got scary sharp after just a few minutes (gotta love that 440C).
On opening you get the strong half stop, fantastic, why don't they put that on all slip joints! Slight raised back spring on open, no biggie for me. 'Walk and talk' superb.

Well made pocket knife

A very well made Barlow.
Very slim but comfortable and usable for basic tasks.
The wooden scales have a nice tactile feel and when the blade is folded everything else is nice and smooth.

My only negative is thats it's a nail puller, but on the flip side you do get that really nice reassuring snap in all three positions.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this Barlow version from Boker.

HH as usual was super fast with delivery.

Incredible

Posted by Oldgit on 22nd Dec 2017

I got this for Christmas 2017. I've not used it yet, but was very reluctant to put it back in the box to be wrapped. Fit and finish are great, very sharp out the box and it makes me smile a lot!! Love it.

A genticle

Sorry to pinch the blog title but it was the first thing to come to mind when I opened the box.
A proper Gentleman's pen knife. Made to Boker's excellent standards I can't put it down as it feels so good. Not a rough edge or poor joint anywhere.

Excellent

A wonderful little Barlow knife. The quality is excellent. I have several GEC knives and this Boker is comparable in every way for about half the price. It is smaller and thinner than a lot of Barlow knives. Really nice long pull on the blade, and quite a strong back spring (about a 7). If you like traditional pen knives, they do not come much nicer than this.

Quality little knife, very well made with a decent edge from the box, bought for my fathers birthday to replace his old & worn EDC, no doubt he will love it.

Pleasure to carry

Posted by Hudders on 26th May 2016

Beautiful little knife,not to big not to small. Excellent quality, really comfortable carry. The backspring is a very strong nail breaker but that's how I like them.
