Modern slipjoint Barlow
I love this clip, the most easily reversible clip I've ever used, great budget knife, looks modern with a classic design. Keep telling myself I need to get more Real Steel because I like this one so much.

New spin slip joint!
I prefer as I get older to carry a somewhat smaller knife. Always liked the slip joints, but even the smaller ones never felt right just lying in your pocket. The Real Steel Barlow RB-1 solves the problem. It's very light weight, extremely sharp, and has a removable pocket clip that doubles as a fork, if you're inclined to use it as such. Nothing more to say really, very easy to carry!
