Case XX Crossroads Series XR S35VN/Tan Richlite with Black G-10 Bolsters CA53161

The Case Crossroads Series stands at the intersection of heritage and innovation, taking timeless Case patterns and rebuilding them with modern precision. The XR Barlow honors the iconic frame shape that collectors know and love, but redefines it with cutting-edge materials and a construction style built for the next generation of knife users. It’s a fusion of history and progress—where craftsmanship meets contemporary design.

This version showcases warm, tan Richlite handles that deliver the look of natural material with the resilience of modern engineering. The handles are paired with black G-10 bolsters engraved with Case’s classic XX mark, adding contrast, strength, and unmistakable presence. Every contour is shaped with intention, creating a knife that feels as solid as it looks refined.

At its core is a 2.45" clip point blade crafted from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel. Known for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, this steel performs under pressure while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. The blade’s clean geometry and smooth action make it a versatile companion for everyday tasks or collection display. At 3.38" closed and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the XR Barlow carries comfortably while offering a robust feel in hand.

Proudly made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, the Crossroads XR Barlow captures the spirit of Case’s long-standing tradition while pointing confidently toward the future. It’s a knife that stands for quality, innovation, and American craftsmanship.
