Barlow Prime EDC Micarta Black

The Böker Barlow Prime Integral Micarta combines the rich heritage of the traditional Barlow pocket knife with a modern, exceptionally lightweight construction. Its distinctive teardrop shape can be traced back to English pocket knives of the 17th century, making the Barlow one of the oldest established knife designs. The name is thought to originate from a successful Sheffield knife maker who began exporting sturdy Barlow knives to North America around 1800. Their popularity eventually led to the first Barlow models becoming part of Böker’s history toward the end of the 19th century.

This modern interpretation features an ingenious integral construction that dispenses with traditional bolsters and additional metal liners. Instead, continuous, ergonomically contoured scales made from black canvas Micarta create a clean, understated look while keeping the weight to a minimum. Decorative stainless steel pins provide a refined finishing touch.

The blade is crafted from cryogenically hardened N690 steel and features a distinctive stonewash finish with a modern, elongated swedge. It opens using a traditional nail nick. The slipjoint mechanism incorporates a 90-degree stop when opening and closing, supporting controlled handling. Weighing just 35 g, this compact pocket knife is an especially lightweight everyday companion.

Handcrafted at the Böker Knife Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, the Barlow Prime Integral Micarta brings together historic knife design, carefully selected materials, and contemporary functionality in a slim, lightweight format.
