High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow with Black Carbon Fiber handles is a precision-built modern slipjoint that honors tradition while embracing performance-driven design. Inspired by the time-tested Barlow pattern, this knife features a 2.79" clip point blade made from 14C28N stainless steel—a high-performance alloy known for its excellent edge stability, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. With a full-height hollow grind and a clean satin finish, the blade delivers surgical sharpness and practical slicing power in a slim, pocketable format.
This non-locking slipjoint rides on a ceramic ball-bearing pivot and opens with a front flipper tab, offering a smooth, refined action uncommon in traditional folders. At 3.62" closed and weighing just 2.1 oz, it’s featherlight and easy to carry, while the Black Carbon Fiber scales offer strength, rigidity, and a subtle tactical look. Backed by milled titanium liners and bolsters, the handle feels rock solid in hand and perfectly balanced.
Details matter, and Jack Wolf Knives gets them right—flush hardware, dead-center blade seating, crisp walk-and-talk, and a finish that reflects true craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking for a modern gent’s folder or a refined workhorse, this Gateway Barlow delivers. Each one comes packaged with a microfiber cloth, sticker, and collectible tube—proof that high-end tradition and everyday utility can coexist.
