SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rough Ryder Classic Cinnamon Bone Stag Barlow is a striking example of traditional pocketknife craftsmanship, blending old-world design with dependable materials that appeal to collectors and everyday carry enthusiasts alike. The Barlow pattern is one of the most iconic folding knife designs in history, known for its long bolster, simple construction, and reliable performance. Rough Ryder honors that legacy with this beautifully styled knife that delivers classic looks, practical functionality, and exceptional value.
At the heart of this Barlow is a 2.5-inch carbon steel clip point blade that reflects the heritage of early American pocket knives. Carbon steel is prized for its ability to take an exceptionally sharp edge and its ease of sharpening, making it a favorite among traditional knife users. Over time, the blade can develop a natural patina that adds character and tells the story of use, giving each knife a unique personality. The clip point profile offers excellent control and precision, whether you’re handling light cutting tasks, opening packages, or tackling everyday chores. A traditional match strike pull adds both visual appeal and easy blade access, reinforcing the knife’s vintage-inspired design.
The handle is where the Rough Ryder Classic Cinnamon Bone Stag Barlow truly stands out. The cinnamon stag bone scales offer rich, warm tones with natural texture that enhances grip and visual depth. This handle material evokes the look and feel of classic stag while maintaining a smooth, refined finish that’s comfortable in hand. Each knife carries subtle variations in color and grain, making every piece feel one of a kind. Nickel silver pins and bolsters add strength and durability while providing a bright contrast to the darker bone handles, contributing to the knife’s timeless aesthetic.
Inside, brass liners provide a solid foundation for the knife’s slip joint construction. Brass has long been used in traditional pocket knives for its strength, corrosion resistance, and classic appearance. Together with the nickel silver bolsters, these liners ensure the knife remains sturdy and reliable through years of regular use. The Barlow’s simple, proven design focuses on functionality without unnecessary complexity, making it a dependable choice for anyone who appreciates traditional craftsmanship.
Measuring 3.37 inches closed, the Rough Ryder Classic Cinnamon Bone Stag Barlow is compact and easy to carry. Its slim profile fits comfortably in a pocket without feeling bulky, making it an excellent everyday carry option for those who prefer a non-locking, traditional folder. Whether you’re a seasoned collector of classic knives or someone looking for a dependable pocket companion with heritage style, this Barlow delivers both form and function in equal measure.
The Rough Ryder Classic Cinnamon Bone Stag Barlow is also an excellent addition to any knife collection. Its classic materials, traditional blade steel, and timeless pattern make it a knife that looks just as good displayed as it does in use. It captures the spirit of early pocket knives while remaining practical for modern everyday tasks, offering a balance that appeals to a wide range of knife enthusiasts.
