Rite Edge Barlow Traditional Folding Pocket Knife

The Rite Edge Barlow Traditional Folding Pocket Knife closes to 3.375 inches, a stainless clip blade paired with a smaller pen blade, both set behind the pattern's signature long bolster in a wood handle, with a lanyard hole drilled through the butt end.

Wood scales give this Barlow a warmer look than the synthetic versions Rite Edge sells in the same pattern, and the grain and coloring will vary a bit from one knife to the next since it comes from a natural material rather than a molded plastic scale. The long bolster remains the detail that identifies a Barlow at a glance, extending well past the pivot in a way no Trapper or Stockman does. A slip joint holds each blade open through spring tension, and both are opened by hand with a nail nick rather than a stud or hole.

The lanyard hole is a small but practical addition missing from some of Rite Edge's other Barlow variants, giving buyers the option to attach a fob or cord for easier retrieval from a bag, drawer, or tool pouch. At 3.375 inches closed, this sits on the smaller side for a two-blade traditional pattern, closer to a Peanut in overall footprint than a full-size Trapper, which makes it an easy knife to carry every day without noticing the extra weight in a pocket.
