CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Rider White Smooth Bone Sheepsfoot Barlow carries the look and feel of a true American classic, built with the kind of straightforward reliability that’s defined pocketknives for generations. It’s a traditional folding knife that doesn’t chase trends, instead focusing on proven design, solid materials, and everyday usefulness.
At its core is a 3-inch stainless steel sheepsfoot blade with a clean satin finish. The straight cutting edge excels at controlled slicing, utility work, and precision cuts where stability matters. The sheepsfoot profile keeps the tip blunt and predictable, reducing the chance of accidental punctures while still delivering confident cutting performance. A classic nail nick keeps deployment simple and familiar, staying true to time-tested slipjoint tradition.
The handle is fitted with smooth white bone that gives the knife a refined, timeless presence. It feels natural in hand, with a subtle contour that promotes secure control during extended use. Polished stainless steel bolsters reinforce the traditional Barlow profile, adding strength where it counts while balancing the knife visually. Stainless steel liners and nickel silver pins contribute to long-term durability, while the arrowhead shield stands out as a tasteful nod to classic knife-making heritage.
A dependable slipjoint mechanism holds the blade firmly in place during use, providing reassuring resistance without overcomplicating the design. Measuring 4 inches closed and 7 inches overall, this Barlow slips easily into a pocket while still offering enough substance for everyday cutting tasks around the shop, home, or outdoors.
