SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Modern Large Barlow Black G-10 is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation, designed for those who appreciate timeless style with a contemporary edge. Proudly made in the USA, this folding knife elevates the classic Barlow design into a rugged, everyday carry tool that’s ready for modern demands.
At the center of its functionality is a 3.75-inch sheepsfoot blade made from tough D2 tool steel. Known for its excellent edge retention and resistance to wear, D2 is a go-to choice for users who expect their knives to perform day in and day out. The blade features a sleek black DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish that enhances corrosion resistance while delivering a stealthy, low-reflection look. The long pull provides a smooth and confident opening, keeping with the traditional Barlow feel but giving it a modern twist.
When closed, the knife measures a clean 4 inches, making it a practical size for carry without taking up too much pocket space. Opened fully, the knife stretches to 7 inches, offering a solid and balanced feel in the hand. At just 2.9 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday carry but hefty enough to give you the kind of control and confidence you’d expect from a larger folder. The slim .1-inch blade thickness ensures precision cuts while maintaining strength for tougher tasks.
The handle is where form truly meets function. Crafted from black G-10, it’s grippy, durable, and impervious to the elements. G-10 has long been favored in high-performance tools for its ability to handle rough use without wearing down. Paired with a polished nickel silver bolster, the handle brings a touch of class to the knife’s overall appearance, making it just as at home in a display case as it is in your pocket. This modern Barlow doesn’t scream for attention—it earns it quietly, with quality and character.
Each knife comes with a drawstring pouch, offering a simple and protective storage solution when it’s not in your pocket. It’s a small touch, but one that shows Bear & Son’s attention to the details that matter. Whether you're heading to work, out on the trail, or simply need a reliable tool by your side, this knife is up for the job.
Made in the United States with pride and precision, the Bear & Son Modern Large Barlow Black G-10 represents American craftsmanship at its finest. It’s built not just to be carried, but to be trusted.
