The Kershaw Barstow is a sleek, modern folding knife that delivers everyday performance in a streamlined, no-nonsense design. With its 3-inch spear point blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the Barstow strikes a perfect balance between toughness, edge retention, and ease of maintenance. The blade features Kershaw’s signature BlackWash finish, giving it a rugged, worn-in look that helps hide scratches from regular use while adding a touch of character to your carry.
This knife is equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening, making it fast and easy to deploy the blade with a simple push on the eye-catching blue flipper tab. The spring-assisted action is smooth and responsive, giving you confidence whether you’re opening boxes, cutting rope, or tackling other daily tasks. Once open, the reliable liner lock keeps the blade securely in place, ensuring a safe and solid feel in hand.
The handle is made from durable glass-filled nylon (GFN), keeping the weight down to just 3.4 ounces without sacrificing strength or grip. Subtle texturing along the handle provides a comfortable and secure hold, even in wet conditions. Its slim profile and 4-inch closed length make it an easy companion for pocket carry, while the reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures it stays ready for action at a moment’s notice.
At only 0.1 inches thick at the blade, the Barstow offers excellent slicing ability while maintaining a strong and balanced feel. The symmetrical spear point design makes it ideal for precision work and everyday use, and its clean lines give it a modern appeal that stands out in a crowded field of folding knives.
Proudly designed by Kershaw to meet the demands of everyday carriers, the Barstow combines form and function with a striking visual detail—the blue flipper—that adds just the right amount of flair. This isn’t just a tool; it’s a statement piece for anyone who appreciates quality and style in their pocketknife.
Whether you’re new to collecting or adding to an established lineup, you’ll appreciate how easily the Kershaw Barstow fits into your rotation. Its compact size, lightweight construction, and dependable performance make it an ideal everyday carry folding knife that’s always up for the job.
