A Traditional Barlow with Modern Performance

This Bear & Son Barlow Slip Joint delivers classic American pocketknife charm with upgraded steel and a clean, traditional look. Built in Jacksonville, Alabama, it features a 3.8 inch D2 tool steel blade finished in DLC coating for improved wear resistance and a sleek dark appearance.

The Smooth White Bone handle keeps the traditional spirit of the Barlow pattern intact, offering a warm, polished look paired with the long bolster design that defines this timeless style.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

I really like how this version blends the old-school Barlow feel with a modern DLC coated blade. The Smooth White Bone looks classy and clean, and the knife rides surprisingly light in the pocket for its size.
