The Barlow BFF Boker designed by Lucas Burnley is produced as a permanent EDC in full tang construction. A well-known designer and full-time knifemaker from the USA with this handy knife bridges the gap between the historical roots of the proven Barlow and the modern elements of its design line, referred to as Post Tactical. The characteristic shape of the Barlow's drop is derived from the English pocket knives of the 17th century, which certainly makes it one of the oldest models in history. The name of the classic probably derives from the enterprising Sheffield knife maker of the same name, who began exporting solid knives to North America around 1800. There, they immediately enjoyed great popularity, thanks to which the first Barlow models also appeared in the history of Boker Manufaktur at the end of the 19th century.
In this fixed version, tradition, everyday utility and a bit of tactical sophistication find harmonious harmony. The compact Barlow BFF is made of ice-hardened AEB-L, a versatile blade steel with excellent cutting ability, good rust resistance and easy machining. Designed as a fixed blade, this version of the timeless classic features contoured grip covers crafted from local walnut and sits comfortably in the hand. The decorative hollow brass rivet doubles as a lanyard hole and adds a visual accent along with the same color studs. Supplied with a matching black leather sheath that offers high wearing comfort thanks to the integrated clip. Handmade at the Boker Knife Manufactory in Solingen.
