The **Böker Manufaktur Barlow BFF 120506** is a compact, fixed EDC knife. Designed by American knife maker Lucas Burnley. The Barlow BFF is a modern interpretation of the traditional Barlow knife. Combined with the sleek design style of Lucas Burnley.

The Barlow BFF is made to be used. The blade is made from stainless AEB-L steel. A good type of steel that retains its sharpness well. Böker enhanced the knife with a full-tang construction. This means that the tang of the blade runs throughout the entire handle. This is stronger than other construction methods used for fixed knives.

The handle is made from stunning walnut wod and brass pins that keep the whole together. The end of the handle is enhanced with a lanyard eye to make sure you can add a piece of paracord. The Böker Barlow BFF is enhanced with a top-quality black, leather sheath. It is enhanced with a pocket clip to make sure you can comfortably carry the knife in your pocket. Just like a modern pocket knife.

Use the Barlow BFF for daily cutting tasks or carry the knife alongside a larger bushcraft knife. For smaller cutting tasks such as preparing food or making cut-outs in a piece of wood.

After a couple of weeks, my overall impression about this little knife is pretty good. Don't expect it to look as nice as seen on the pics though... There are no walnut burl scales here, just basic walnut... Of nice quality ok , but basic. Once polished and treated properly they look fine though... Received mine with an uneven edge, and i do state that it's totally unacceptable at this price range. Sharp enough, but I quickly put my own edge on it it at 22°,  somewhat thinning the blade a bit, but this is how it should be released on the market ... I'm not affraid to say that the factory edge wasn't quite what it should be... The global factory finish is decent, but definitely nothing special. AEB-L steel can indeed get CRAZY sharp with a minimal effort and is a tough steel, but the edge retention is just less than average, and i don't think that they heat treated the blade to a very high level HRC (It's a data that u won't find anywhere btw...) A real pleasure to sharpen though, as it has a very fine grain. But despite its inherent qualities, AEB-L steel is just an old tool steel former used for industrial razor blades, no fancy modern CPM technology, and therefore quite cheap to produce. This leads me to my conclusion: Considering the materials involved, this little knife is way too expensive for what it really is. Being made in Solingen you would at least expect a better care and attention on sharpening and finish. I know that producing knives in Germany nowadays is expensive, but if it was made by a less known company in China or Salvador, or just made overseas in the Böker Plus line of knives, it would probably cost less than half of its retail price and probably wouldn't look worse. So what's left?... The reputation of the factory?...Who still believes in this?.. No, definitely. But the form factor, yes indeed! It's indeed excellent. Brilliant design. Despite its tiny size, this little beast is really handy and effective in any circumstances and there's not much you can't ask from it (according to its size ofc) And with this almost perfect sheath, it's definitely an excellent EDC knife with some extra strenght available, thanks to the fixed blade. The scales could  be a bit thicker to get more comfy, but again, they seem to try to save money wherever they can... This would also add some weight to it, so nothing really wrong with the scales... Nah... It's a very good little knife... Just wait that some chinese company copies the design and sells it for a third of the price.... Or pay for the 'Solingen' stamp on it... That's up to you. I'm glad I have this one. If BFF stands for 'best friend forever', I say maybe... why not! And I own a lot of knives... But it would be an expensive friend... The kind of friend that u wanna pamper instead of (ab)using... Is that the real purpose of an EDC knive?... Excellent knive. Overpriced.

Een geweldig EDC-mesje. Mooi afgewerkt en vlijmscherp. Het is vrij klein, ook het heft, maar voor de toepassing is dat juist een voordeel.
De lederen schede met clip maakt het helemaal af. 

Great little EDC knife, great sheath for in pocket carry, i just love it! Also the knife is beautiful and very high quality 

Petit Barlow fixe de gentleman, dont la silhouette est délicieusement désuette, (Mark Twain fait allusion au Barlow dans "Les aventures deTom Sawyer et Huckleberry Finn", en 1876). L’acier AEB-L fut conçu à l’origine pour la fabrication de lames de rasoir... Le couteau et son étui sont d'une confection irréprochable. Je recommande.

Wonderful knife! I use it for everyday stuff like cooking, package opening and whatsoever. Love it

General information

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness
