The Case XX Barlow Folding Knife in 6.5 BoneStag with Case Shield is a remarkable American-made pocket knife, combining timeless design with high-quality materials for a tool that’s both functional and collectible.

This blade is built with Case’s Tru-Sharp steel, renowned for its ability to hold a sharp edge and provide excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking both durability and easy maintenance.

The blade is versatile, perfectly suited for general tasks ranging from light cutting duties to more precision work, making it a great everyday carry option or a reliable backup in any knife collection.
The handle is crafted from 6.5 BoneStag, a unique jigged bone material designed to imitate the look and feel of genuine stag antler.

Case’s expert jigging process ensures each BoneStag handle has an organic, rugged texture that enhances grip while adding to the knife’s aesthetic appeal. Its warm, natural look is complemented by the solid brass pins and liners, which enhance durability and give the knife an additional touch of sophistication.
The knife’s nickel silver bolsters add structural support and enhance its classic look, giving it a polished finish that will appeal to any collector. The bolster’s mirror-polished surface reflects Case’s commitment to fine craftsmanship and pairs beautifully with the BoneStag handle. On the handle, you’ll also find the signature nickel silver Case shield, a proudly displayed emblem of the brand’s heritage and quality. This iconic shield adds authenticity and is a favorite detail for knife enthusiasts who appreciate Case’s long-standing reputation.
