The Schatt & Morgan Abalone Spear Point Barlow combines traditional American pocketknife craftsmanship with the natural beauty of genuine abalone. Limited to just 25 pieces, this 1-of-25 Barlow is a distinctive collector's knife that doesn't sacrifice the practical character that made traditional pocketknives a staple of everyday carry.
Its 2.90-inch spear point blade is crafted from 1095 high carbon steel, a proven choice for traditional pocketknives thanks to its toughness, edge retention, and straightforward maintenance. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, classic appearance that contrasts beautifully with the colorful abalone handle. A 2.45-inch cutting edge provides plenty of usable blade for everyday cutting chores, while the match strike nail nick offers a traditional opening method with an added touch of character. With a 9/10 pull strength, the blade opens with the deliberate resistance expected from a quality traditional slipjoint.
The 3.50-inch closed length keeps this Barlow compact and pocket-friendly, while its 6.25-inch open length provides a comfortable platform for everyday tasks. Measuring just .50 inches wide and weighing 2.50 ounces, it's easy to carry without feeling insubstantial in hand. The classic Barlow pattern gives the knife a streamlined profile that's equally suited to a pocket, knife roll, or collection display.
The genuine abalone handle is the centerpiece of this limited-edition knife. Its naturally shifting colors and iridescent character give every piece an individual appearance, with tones that catch the light differently from one angle to the next. Stainless steel bolsters frame the handle and provide a durable transition between the abalone scales and the working components of the knife.
Brass liners and brass pins add traditional warmth to the construction, while the steel backspring provides the tension needed for reliable slipjoint operation. Half stops give the blade controlled stopping positions during opening and closing, adding to the deliberate feel of this classic pocketknife.
Made in Winchester, Ohio, the Schatt & Morgan Abalone Spear Point Barlow brings together American craftsmanship, traditional materials, and limited-edition appeal. From its match strike nail nick and satin 1095 blade to its iridescent abalone handle and brass hardware, every detail gives this Barlow a character that's difficult to duplicate.
Whether you're adding it to a traditional knife collection or carrying it as a distinctive everyday pocketknife, this 1-of-25 Schatt & Morgan Barlow offers a refined take on a proven American pattern. It's compact, capable, and finished with the kind of natural beauty that makes it worth pulling from your pocket and putting on display.
