Real Steel Real Barlow FAQ

The Real Steel Real Barlow series reimagines the traditional Barlow pattern with modern materials and a unique toolless reversible pocket clip. These slipjoint folders offer a blend of classic aesthetics and contemporary functionality for everyday carry.

What blade shapes are available in the Real Barlow series?
The Real Barlow series offers both clip point and drop point blade options. Both shapes feature a full height hollow grind, which results in a thin, slicey edge for efficient cutting performance.
Is the pocket clip on the Real Barlow reversible?
Yes, the deep carry pocket clip is fully reversible and features a toolless design. By squeezing the top of the clip, you can easily swap it from one side to the other, making these knives equally accessible for right-handed or left-handed users.
What blade steel does the Real Barlow use?
Steel choices depend on the specific model within the series. The RB-1 and RB-3 variants typically utilize Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, while the RB-5 models upgrade to Bohler N690 for improved performance. You can explore more options from the brand in the Real Steel Knives collection.
Does the Real Barlow have a locking mechanism?
No, the Real Barlow is a non-locking slipjoint folding knife. It uses a traditional spring mechanism with a firm snap to keep the blade in position, making it a legal carry option in many jurisdictions with strict knife regulations.
What handle materials are used in this series?
The Real Barlow series provides a variety of handle scales including G10, colored steel, and a unique translucent plastic. These materials are chosen to balance durability with a lightweight profile for comfortable pocket carry.
