The Jack Wolf Gateway Barlow is a bold tribute to one of the most iconic pocketknife patterns ever carried. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship but elevated with premium materials and modern precision, this slip joint delivers timeless style with a level of refinement that stands out the moment it hits your hand.
The 2.98" clip point blade is crafted from high-performance 14C28N stainless steel, a steel prized for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The blade’s satin finish gives it a clean, bright look that highlights the elegant sweep of the clip point profile. A classic nail nick keeps the opening true to traditional pocketknife design, while the slender clip point provides precise control for detailed cutting tasks along with plenty of slicing capability when the work gets tougher.
What truly makes this knife unforgettable is the handle. Genuine abalone scales shimmer with deep, ocean-like color that shifts with every movement of light. No two pieces of abalone are ever the same, giving each Gateway Barlow a unique, natural pattern that collectors and enthusiasts instantly recognize. Ringed stainless steel bolsters anchor the design with bold, traditional character while stainless steel liners provide strength beneath the surface. Nickel silver pins secure the construction, and an inlaid nickel silver badge-shaped shield adds a classic finishing touch that completes the knife’s unmistakable look.
Measuring 3.87" closed and weighing 3.1 ounces, this slip joint strikes a perfect balance between pocket-friendly carry and solid hand presence. It’s compact enough for everyday carry yet substantial enough to feel like a serious cutting tool every time you pull it from your pocket.
