RST8341B: Real Barlow RB-3 Drop Point Slipjoint - Black Steel
Real Steel Knives
The Real Steel Real Barlow RB-3 is RSK's interpretation of the classic Barlow design, which impresses with its creative solution for handle scales. The RB-3 is a slipjoint folding pocket knife crafted with a 2.83" long 12C27 drop point blade, renowned for its sharpness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The Real Barlow RB-3 has two blade options: a clip point blade for more remarkable piercing ability and a drop point blade for versatility. With its durable steel scales, the Real Barlow is a folding knife that's built to last. The slipjoint mechanism allows for legal carry in countries/states with stricter pocket knife laws, while maintaining excellent quality and usability. Wherever the world may take you, it's easy to throw this blade in your pocket and have it enter your everyday carry.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Weight
Cons: None
Solid for the price
This feels very solid and well put together, especially at this price. Very sharp out of box and works for all the light duty stuff I need it for. One small disappointment. Noticed a tiny little notch in the edge when I unboxed it. Given the ease of sharpening for 12C27 steel and the small size of the imperfection, I’ll just fix it myself rather than exchanging. Hope it’s just a rare oversight in QC because otherwise, I love this little knife, and it makes me want to check out other blades from Real Steel
