Boker Plus Urban Barlow FAQ

This Brad Zinker design brings custom-level precision to a classic silhouette through a high-end production partnership with Reate. The series stands out for its high-performance K390 steel and refined integral titanium construction.

What steel is used in the Boker Plus Urban Barlow series?
The Boker Plus Urban Barlow series utilizes K390 tool steel, which is a premium powder metallurgy steel known for its exceptional edge retention. Because K390 is a non-stainless steel, it offers high-end cutting performance similar to traditional carbon steel but requires basic maintenance to prevent oxidation.
Is the Boker Plus Urban Barlow manufactured by Reate?
Yes, while designed by Brad Zinker for Boker, this series is manufactured by Reate to ensure a high level of fit and finish. This collaboration results in premium features like smooth ball-bearing pivots and perfectly executed integral titanium bolsters.
How does the Urban Barlow blade deploy?
The primary deployment method for the Boker Plus Urban Barlow is a front flipper, which can be operated with either the thumb or index finger. The blade also features a low-profile cutout that functions like a traditional nail nick for those who prefer a slower, more deliberate opening.
What are the benefits of the Urban Barlow blade shape?
The series features a clip point blade with a deep hollow grind and a thin edge for superior slicing performance. Often referred to as a California clip style, this geometry provides a fine tip for detail work and plenty of belly for general utility tasks.
What kind of pocket clip and lock does this series use?
The Boker Plus Urban Barlow features a bolster-style frame lock for secure operation and a milled titanium pocket clip for carry. The design is notably clean, as the pocket clip is mounted with internal screws to ensure no hardware is visible on the outside of the handle.
