Rough Rider Imitation Tortoise Barlow Knife

The Rough Rider Barlow in Imitation Tortoise follows the historic classic barlow pattern, a satin-finished stainless clip blade set in an imitation tortoise shell handle with nickel silver bolsters and an inlay shield.

The barlow pattern is one of the oldest and most recognizable traditional knife shapes, historically defined by an elongated bolster that extends noticeably further down the handle than most other patterns, giving it a distinctive, easily identifiable silhouette. General cutting falls to the clip blade, and imitation tortoise shell gives the handle a distinctive mottled amber and brown look, a classic material appearance without using the protected material. Nickel silver bolsters add durability at the pivot points along with a bit of distinctive shine.

The single blade opens the traditional way with a nail nick, kept closed by a slip joint, spring tension holding it rather than a mechanical locking bar. Rough Rider's barlow pattern gives collectors a historic traditional shape in a distinctive material. Imitation tortoise shell remains a distinctive material choice found across Rough Rider's broader barlow lineup. Explore more Barlow Knives.
