W. R. Case and Sons® have been producing knives for over 100 years and their brand is absolutely one of the most well known. For generations many "firsts" in pocketknives have been Case® knives. These knives are still being handed down from father to son and from grandfather to grandson. The Barlow style is a traditional pattern that can be traced back to the English pocketknives from the 17th Century. One of the oldest models around, the Barlow is easily recognized by the extra long bolster and blade(s) hinged at the bolster end of the knife handle.
This version from Case has bone handle scales that have been dyed a deep navy blue and jigged with the Rogers pattern. The blue of the bone blends beautifully with the brass pins and liners, and nickel silver bolsters. The bolster has the Case Long C etch on the front. The two blades are a 2-1/2" clip point and a 2" pen blade. Both blades are mirror polished Case Tru-Sharp® Surgical Stainless steel at 54-57 Rc. Measures 3-3/8" closed. It is a slip joint. Weighs 2.9 oz. Made in the U. S. A. Suggested Retail $105.40.
