Böker Barlow M4 Sherman-Damascus Folding Knife 110038DAM

The worldwide enthusiasm for our unique Boker M4 Sherman-Damascus quickly convinced us to also design a classic model supplied with the history-steeped Damascus steel. Compared to the original model, the traditional Boker Barlow is significantly more compact and not only cuts a particularly good figure in the knife showcase, but also impresses as a gentleman’s knife suitable for a trouser pocket in everyday life. The blade is made of the incomparable Sherman-Damascus, is opened by nail nick and does not lock. The operating safety of the history-laden slipjoint pocket knife is further enhanced by a 90 degree detent when opening and closing. The striking drop shape of the Barlow can be traced back to the English pocket knives of the 17th century, which certainly makes it one of the oldest models ever. The name of the classic probably goes back to an enterprising Sheffield knife manufacturer of the same name, who began exporting the robust knives to North America around 1800. There they immediately enjoyed great popularity and so at the end of the 19th century the first Barlow models also appeared in the history of the Boker Manufactory.
