Barlow Prime EDC Schwarz

Product detailed description
The characteristic drop point shape of the Barlow knife has its roots in 17th century English pocket knives, making it one of the oldest models ever. The name of the classic knife probably comes from an enterprising Sheffield knife maker of the same name who began exporting sturdy knives to North America around 1800. There, they were immediately popular, and so the first Barlow models also appeared in the history of the Böker manufactory in the late 19th century.
This version of the reinterpreted Böker Barlow Prime in integral construction dispenses with the characteristic bolsters and instead features continuous, nicely shaped handle blades in black Micarta. Thanks to the lightweight construction, this means that additional metal inserts can be dispensed with entirely. The satin-finished blade is made of ice-hardened N690 material. It is equipped with a modern extended ricasso, the operational safety of the joint is increased by a 90-degree detent when opening and closing. The decorative rivets are made of stainless steel. With high quality felt sleeve for storage.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
