Boker Tree Brand 2 Blade Barlow Brown Checkered Bone BK110892

Boker’s Tree Brand 2 Blade Barlow is a textbook example of why traditional slipjoints have never gone out of style — they simply don’t stop working. Built on the iconic Barlow pattern with its long bolster and deep-pocket carry presence, this compact 3.2-inch closed knife carries like a gentleman’s piece but works like a tool meant to be used every day. It houses a pair of blades forged from D2 tool steel — a high-carbon, high-wear alloy prized for its cutting longevity and resilience. The primary clip point is etched with the classic Tree Brand mark, a nod to its Solingen heritage, while the secondary spey blade adds utility for controlled slicing, skinning, or finer camp and shop work. Both open cleanly via traditional nail nick pulls with satisfying snap and retention in every position.

The handle is immediately striking — brown checkered bone, hand-finished for both grip security and visual character. It’s pinned with brass hardware and fitted with Boker’s hallmark Tree shield — subtle but unmistakable. That checkering isn’t just a cosmetic touch; combined with the natural contour of the bone scales, it gives this knife real traction in wet, cold, or gloved conditions. In hand, the balance is light at just 2.7 ounces, but not delicate. It carries flat and disappears in a jeans coin pocket, suit coat, or fifth pocket without printing.

This is a slipjoint in the truest sense — no locks, just precise backspring tension tuned for controlled deployment and positive half and full stops. Perfect for everyday tasks that demand a trustworthy blade but don’t require modern overbuilt aggression. It has the kind of pattern your grandfather would have carried, except upgraded with modern steel performance and a tighter, more refined assembly.

Whether you’re collecting Barlows, hunting for a true heirloom-grade working knife, or need a compact pocket companion that respects tradition without sacrificing performance, this Boker delivers confidence with style. It’s not designed to shout — it’s engineered to outlast.
