Proudly made in the USA, this classic barlow captures the heritage and craftsmanship of a bygone era while delivering the durability and performance expected from today’s best everyday carry knives.
At the heart of this knife is a 2.75-inch spear point blade made from rugged D2 tool steel. Known for its outstanding wear resistance and edge retention, D2 gives this compact folder the ability to handle daily tasks with ease and stay sharp through heavy use.

This model stays true to its roots with the classic barlow profile—a design recognized for its strength, simplicity, and historical significance. But what really sets this knife apart is its striking red maple burl wood handle. Each piece of burl wood is naturally unique, featuring rich, swirling grain patterns that give the knife a one-of-a-kind character. The deep red hue adds a bold, refined touch that’s both eye-catching and tasteful. Complementing the handle is a sleek black shield inset into the front scale, enhancing the traditional look with modern contrast.
Measuring just 3.25 inches closed and 6 inches overall, the Barlow Red Burl Maple offers a compact and comfortable profile that slips easily into your pocket. It weighs only 2.6 ounces, making it a lightweight yet reliable companion for everyday carry. The smooth contours of the handle feel great in hand, and the simple, straightforward slip joint mechanism keeps things reliable and classic.
