Historical Note:
The Barlow pattern is one of America’s most iconic pocketknife styles, long favored for its durability and utility. Case produced this knife during the late 1960s, a transitional period that bridged the Tested XX heritage with modern XX production. Sawcut bone handles from this era are especially collectible due to their rich jigging and aging character.
