The Bear & Son SMKW Exclusive Barlow brings classic pocketknife character together with rugged American craftsmanship and a distinctive handle you won’t find on an ordinary Barlow. Proudly made in the USA, this traditional folder features a richly textured Orange Stag Bone handle that gives the knife a warm, vintage-inspired appearance while adding plenty of personality to your pocket.
At the heart of this Barlow is a 2 5/8-inch clip point master blade made from dependable 1095 carbon steel. Known for its toughness, edge-holding ability, and straightforward working character, 1095 is a natural fit for a traditional knife built to see real use. The blade opens with a regular crescent nail nick, keeping the operation simple and true to the classic slipjoint design. A 2 1/16-inch pen blade provides a smaller cutting option for lighter everyday tasks, giving you the versatility that’s made traditional two-blade folders a staple for generations.
The Orange Stag Bone handle is where this SMKW Exclusive really sets itself apart. Its textured surface creates a rugged look and distinctive feel, with the warm orange coloring giving this Barlow an unmistakable old-school character. Nickel silver bolsters add a polished touch to the traditional construction, creating a handsome contrast against the textured handle while helping reinforce the knife’s classic Barlow styling.
At just 3 1/2 inches closed and weighing only 2.6 ounces, this knife is sized for comfortable everyday pocket carry without adding unnecessary bulk. Open, it measures 6 inches overall, providing a useful amount of handle for controlled cutting while maintaining the compact proportions expected from a traditional pocketknife.
Whether you’re adding it to a collection, carrying it as a dependable everyday cutting tool, or simply appreciate the timeless appeal of a well-built Barlow, this Bear & Son delivers classic function with an exclusive SMKW twist. The combination of 1095 carbon steel, textured Orange Stag Bone, nickel silver bolsters, and USA-made construction gives this traditional folder plenty of character and practical appeal.
As a Smoky Mountain Knife Works Exclusive, this Barlow offers a distinctive combination of traditional design and standout materials that’s made specifically for SMKW. It’s a rugged, American-made pocketknife with the classic lines, useful two-blade setup, and unmistakable Barlow character that never goes out of style.
