The Boker Barlow Oak Tree is a true celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and everyday functionality. This compact yet capable pocket knife brings together old-world charm and reliable performance, offering a timeless design that’s perfectly suited for those who appreciate both heritage and utility in their everyday carry.
At the heart of the Barlow Oak Tree is a 2.56" clip point blade made from C75 carbon steel, a classic high-carbon alloy known for its keen edge and easy sharpening. Finished with a dark acid wash, the blade takes on a rugged, weathered look that enhances corrosion resistance while giving it a distinctive, well-worn character. The clip point design adds versatility and control, making it ideal for precise slicing, detail work, and general cutting tasks. A long pull groove along the blade adds a traditional touch and allows for smooth, two-handed opening.
The knife’s handle is crafted from genuine bog oak wood, a rare and beautiful material that’s been preserved for centuries in natural peat bogs. Its deep, earthy tones and tight grain patterns create a refined, organic aesthetic that sets this knife apart. Accented with polished nickel silver bolsters and liners, the handle strikes a perfect balance between elegance and everyday practicality. The round Boker tree shield inlaid on the handle adds a final mark of authenticity and pride, honoring Boker’s long-standing legacy in blade making.
Measuring 3.35" closed and just 1.73 oz. in weight, the Barlow Oak Tree carries effortlessly in your pocket without taking up unnecessary space. When opened, it extends to a full 5.91”, offering a comfortable grip for a knife of its size. The slipjoint mechanism delivers smooth, consistent resistance and holds the blade open with satisfying tension—an ideal choice for those who favor simplicity, safety, and timeless functionality over complex locking systems.
This knife isn’t just made for show. It’s a working tool designed for those who value reliability, feel, and form. Whether you’re opening packages, whittling by the campfire, or keeping a compact blade handy for daily tasks, the Boker Barlow Oak Tree handles it all with quiet confidence. Its slim profile and classic styling make it a favorite for pocket carry, and the premium materials ensure it will age beautifully with use.
