New York Knife Co. Barlow Folding Knife Genuine Stag 2Bld. (1-of-50) NYK2506-STAG

The New York Knife Co. Barlow Folding Knife Genuine Stag 2Bld. (1-of-50) is a classic expression of traditional American cutlery, combining timeless design with collectible appeal. Limited to just 50 pieces, this two-blade Barlow celebrates the heritage of slip-joint knives while offering a functional, durable folding knife that stands out in any collection. From its naturally textured stag handle to its carefully crafted blades, every element of this knife reflects quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Measuring 6.25 inches overall when open, the Barlow features two distinct blades: a 2.90-inch spear-point primary blade and a 2.50-inch pen blade. Both are constructed from 1095 carbon steel, a material prized in traditional knives for its toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The spear-point blade provides strength and precision for heavier cutting tasks, while the pen blade offers a smaller, more precise cutting edge ideal for fine work. Each blade employs a standard edge profile, making maintenance simple and reliable over years of use.

The handle is crafted from genuine stag, offering unique character and natural variation in every piece. Measuring 3.45 inches, the handle is ergonomically proportioned for comfort and control while remaining true to the Barlow’s classic aesthetic. The natural grain, color, and texture of the stag provide a tactile grip and a visual appeal that collectors prize, making each knife one-of-a-kind.

This Barlow uses a traditional slip-joint backspring for both blades, providing controlled, smooth opening and closing action without locking hardware. The simple, intuitive deployment preserves the historic feel of the pattern while ensuring dependable performance for light cutting tasks and everyday carry. The knife’s overall balance, combined with the natural feel of the stag handle, gives it a satisfying presence in hand.

As a limited edition of only 50 knives, the New York Knife Co. Barlow Folding Knife Genuine Stag 2Bld. is not only functional but also highly collectible. Its combination of heritage-inspired design, premium materials, and low production numbers makes it a standout for enthusiasts of traditional American knives. Whether displayed in a collection or carried for everyday use, it exemplifies the timeless charm and craftsmanship of classic Barlow folders.
