Superb little uk legal knife. Back spring is heavier than the Luna but I quite like it. Pocket clip work spot on and no hot spots when it's in your hand. Scales can be swapped out for new colours.

The Real Steel Real Barlow RB-5, is their modern take on the classic Barlow design, breaking free from the shackles of ordinary pocket knives. Are you tired of settling for aesthetics that fall short? Do you long for adaptability that matches your dynamic lifestyle?
Enter the RB-5, a game-changer in the world of folding pocket knives. Crafted to perfection, this slip joint, non-locking folding pocket knife boasts a 7.0cm (making it UK friendly carry) long Bohler N690 blade, a testament to sharpness, corrosion resistance, and exceptional edge retention. What truly sets the RB-5 apart is its innovative solution for handle scales, allowing you to effortlessly swap them in under 1 minute using just two screws.
Imagine the possibilities - a knife that adapts to your style, mood, or occasion with a selection of changeable G10 scales. The RB-5 offers two blade options: this ones a drop point. Its durable G10 scales ensure longevity, promising a knife that's built to withstand the test of time.
The deep carry wire pocket clip is not only convenient but also reversible for your preferred carry style.
If a knife embodied the spirit of the people, it was the Barlow. Now, if a knife is tailored to today's dynamic lifestyle, it is undoubtedly the Real Barlow RB-5.

What a cracking little sheeple friendly pocket knife. Steel is so far very good and it is not a heavy duty super steel lets go batten 300 logs knife. If thats what you do with a knife. Dont go get a small axe. This is a very tactile old fashiond pocket knife. Great value good looks and you can change the scales to match your outfit.
I was going to drop a star as I threaded two tx drivers undoing the screws which were very very tight to replace the scales - not quite as quick and easy as expected! But have added the star back on as I am so impressed! A very handsome looking knife with exceptional fit and finish and classic design. I’ve been eyeing up the luna but it’s a bit too contemporary for my taste, with this you get the best of both worlds. The only changes I would make would be to make the jimping before the choil a bit more proud to prevent finger slippage onto the blade. I would also give some micarta scale options. I’ve opted for the yellow colour as I have a lot of black g10 handles and it looks great!
My first venture with a Barlow shaped blade, and N690 Stainless Steel. Pleasantly surprised with the feel, weight, and sharpness of the knife, so it's a keeper and will be part of my EDC rotation. Brilliant service from HH as always, fast delivery, secure packaging. Now I hope for a 'Titanium' set of scales/handles to make this a truly stunning utility EDC.
