Case & Sons Lime Green Bone Barlow
Item #: CS-61045
$69.95
Several times a year W. R. Case and Sons® will release what they call a seasonal introduction. Usually these are knives that do not go into their main lineup and have a limited life. The lime green jigged bone handle scale folder was introduced as part of their Fall 2024 releases. 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 the blade hinged at the bolster end of the knife handle.
The knives in this family all have barnboard pattern jigged bone handle scales that have been dyed a bright lime. The bolsters of the Barlow model are nickel silver with the Case bowtie shield etched on the front bolster. The liners and pins are made out of brass.
The single blade is a 2-1/2" clip point with a mirror polished Case Tru-Sharp® Surgical Stainless steel at 54-57 Rc. Measures 3-3/8" closed. A slip joint; meaning the blades do not lock. Weighs 2.9 oz. Made in the U. S. A. Suggested Retail $97.80.

The roots of the company span all the way back to 1889. W.,R. Case & Sons notably made knives in World War 1, notably the M3 Fighting Knife for servicemen and the V-42 stiletto for the Devil’s Brigade. They also made knives for NASA astronauts for when they touched back down on earth and were waiting to be picked up. The Case Company is currently owned by the Zippo Manufacturing Company, based in the same city, which is well known for their Zippo lighters. You can see great synergy between the companies as they share equipment and expertise like inlaid dyed bone handles and laser engraving machinery.
