SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Dollar Knife Co. Barlow Franciscan Walnut is a pocket knife that blends American tradition with everyday reliability, making it a perfect companion for anyone who values quality, heritage, and craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this classic Barlow design features a 2.75-inch spear point blade forged from tough D2 tool steel, known for its excellent edge retention and wear resistance. The satin finish adds a clean, understated elegance while helping to protect against corrosion, giving you a blade that’s as durable as it is good-looking.
Designed with functionality in mind, the plain edge blade provides clean, precise cuts, whether you’re slicing through packaging, rope, or carving out time in the great outdoors. The right-hand long pull makes for smooth, confident opening, especially when you’re on the move or in the middle of a task. This knife doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it refines it, using time-tested design and premium materials to give you a pocket knife that feels right at home in your hand and in your pocket.
What truly sets the Barlow Franciscan Walnut apart is its handle. Crafted from rich, warm Franciscan walnut wood, it’s finished with subtle brass pins and accented by a sleek black shield. The result is a knife that’s not only functional, but a true piece of craftsmanship. It’s the kind of handle that picks up character over time, telling a story with every scratch and mark—yours. At just 3.25 inches closed and weighing only 2.6 ounces, this knife disappears into your pocket until you need it, and then performs like a tool twice its size. At 6 inches overall when open, it offers a solid, comfortable grip for everyday use.
