The Case XX XR Crossroads Series Barlow Folding Knife Red, White, and Blue Burl G-10 is the June 2026 Cut of the Month, part of Case’s new Crossroads Series celebrating bold materials and modern performance in a traditional American pattern. This limited monthly drop brings together classic Barlow heritage with upgraded steel and eye-catching handle construction, making it a standout for collectors and everyday users alike.
The knife features a 2.45-inch clip point blade crafted from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Finished in a clean satin polish, the blade delivers both visual appeal and dependable cutting performance. A convenient thumb hole allows for smooth, controlled opening while maintaining the knife’s straightforward, functional design.
The handles are built from smooth red, white, and blue G-10, creating a striking patriotic color scheme that stands out without sacrificing toughness. G-10 is prized for its strength, lightweight feel, and resistance to moisture and wear, making it ideal for everyday carry. At the front, the knife is fitted with distinctive white burl G-10 bolsters engraved with the iconic Case XX mark, adding texture and visual depth to the design. Stainless steel liners provide structural strength, while black oxide stainless steel screws give the knife a durable, modern finish that complements the bold handle colors.
The XR Crossroads Series highlights Case’s continued commitment to evolving traditional patterns with modern materials and fresh design ideas. Each monthly Cut of the Month release offers something unique, and the June 2026 edition delivers a memorable blend of American style and high-performance construction. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects generations of craftsmanship paired with contemporary innovation.
