CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow with smooth Rosewood handles is a refined take on a traditional slipjoint, built for users who appreciate timeless materials and precision craftsmanship. Based on the iconic Barlow pattern, this knife features a 2.79" clip point blade made from 14C28N stainless steel—a balanced, high-performance steel that holds a keen edge, resists corrosion, and sharpens with ease. The full-height hollow grind and satin finish give the blade both elegance and cutting efficiency, making it ideal for everything from daily tasks to detail work.
At 3.62" closed and weighing just 2.1 oz, the Gateway Barlow slips into the pocket with ease and disappears until needed. The front flipper tab and ceramic ball-bearing pivot deliver smooth, controlled deployment, while the slipjoint mechanism offers the walk-and-talk you expect from a premium traditional folder. The smooth Rosewood handle scales bring a warm, natural touch to this otherwise modern build, accented by titanium bolsters and liners that provide strength without unnecessary weight.
Jack Wolf Knives is known for sweating the details, and it shows—tight tolerances, centered blade, flush hardware, and a hand-finished feel that’s unmistakable. Whether you’re a collector drawn to classic materials or an enthusiast who demands real utility from a pocketknife, the Gateway Barlow in Rosewood delivers performance wrapped in old-world charm. Each knife comes in a collectible tube with a microfiber cloth and sticker, reflecting the brand’s dedication to both tradition and quality.
