The New York Knife Co. Barlow with Sawcut Shin Bone is a finely crafted traditional folding knife that blends classic design with collectible appeal. Part of a limited edition run of just 50 pieces, this single-blade Barlow honors the heritage of American pocket knives while offering a functional, durable tool for everyday use or display. Its thoughtfully proportioned form, quality materials, and attention to detail make it a standout in any collection.

The blade measures 2.90 inches and is made from 1095 carbon steel, a proven material celebrated for its toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Shaped in a classic spear point, the blade provides excellent versatility for a variety of tasks, from slicing to precision work. Its standard edge profile ensures straightforward maintenance and reliable performance. The blade deploys via a traditional nail nick and slip-joint mechanism, maintaining the heritage feel of the Barlow pattern while offering smooth, controlled opening and closing action.

The handle is crafted from sawcut shin bone, a material prized for its natural texture, variation, and timeless aesthetic. Measuring 3.45 inches, the handle is sculpted to complement the blade’s profile and provide a comfortable, secure grip. The sawcut finish adds subtle visual and tactile interest while enhancing the overall classic appearance of the knife. The natural bone coloring, combined with the textured sawcut pattern, gives each piece a unique character that collectors value.

Measuring 6.25 inches overall, the New York Knife Co. Barlow sits comfortably in the hand and pocket. The slip-joint construction provides reliable tension without locking hardware, staying true to the traditional design that has made the Barlow an enduring favorite for generations. Every element of this knife — from the carbon steel blade to the sawcut bone handle — reflects a dedication to quality craftsmanship and a respect for classic American cutlery traditions.

Whether added to a collection of traditional knives or carried for light everyday tasks, this Barlow combines functional design with heritage aesthetics.
