Brad Zinker Urban Barlow - Desert Ironwood (Custom)

Modern-day Barlow

When Brad Zinker makes a Barlow, you take notice. Renowned for being the pioneer of the ultra-thin folding knife, Brad is one of the most highly regarded custom knife makers and is a voting member of the Knifemakers Guild. Suffice to say, this is no ordinary Barlow.

The Barlow style knife, as written in Mark Twain’s ‘Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer,' is the quintessential, hard-working American knife that was carried by ranchers and outlaws alike.

What we have here in the Urban Barlow Front Flipper is an evolution of a classic. It combines the Barlow's classic lines and old-world charm with modern materials and updated styling.

On the cutting edge, the Urban Barlow Front Flipper features a highly versatile, stonewashed Crucible CPM-154 blade that offers exceptional wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness.

Drawing inspiration from the time-proven classic Barlow knife, the clean and uncluttered handles feature Desert Ironwood scales, which are notable for their slow growth rates and extremely dense wood. All of which is complemented with a cutout for the non-traditional liner lock mechanism.

The blade glides glass-smooth on caged bearings and a perfectly-tuned detent makes for the most satisfying action. Jimping on the flipper tang and lock bar face enhances control, while a floating backspacer completes this exquisite package.

Built to absolute perfection, this modern take on the traditional Barlow knife will make for the ideal addition to your everyday carry. Not only is it non-intimidating and highly capable, but it’s also a functional work of art that you will derive a lifetime of pleasure from owning and using.
