The Barlow is one of the oldest pocket knife patterns in existence — a design that dates back to 17th-century England and has been in continuous production at Case’s Bradford, Pennsylvania factory since the early 1900s. The XR Barlow is what happens when Case takes that century-old silhouette and rebuilds it from the inside out with modern materials. The result is the same iconic tapering shape and nail nick opener you expect from a traditional Barlow, now running CPM S35VN steel, Richlite handle scales, and G-10 liners and bolsters. The 53165 Luna Richlite version pairs a light-toned Richlite handle with an oversized black G-10 bolster engraved with Case’s signature “XX” mark — a combination that looks clean, carries light, and works hard.
