An oversized bolster proudly displays the signature "XX" engraving, while the exclusive "20USA26" tang stamp marks this knife as part of Case XX's coveted 2026 Cut of the Month series. Measuring 3.375" closed and weighing only 2 ounces, the XR Barlow slips effortlessly into a pocket while remaining ready whenever it's needed.
