The Boker Barlow BFF Walnut and Brass Fixed Blade Knife was designed by Lucas Burnley. It is a fixed EDC with full tang construction that combines the traditional form of the Barlow model with modern lines and elements the knife maker refers to as "Post Tactical."
The blade of this modern piece has the Barlow traditional teardrop shape that dates back to the English pocket knives of the 17th century. It is made of ice-hardened AEB-L steel, a versatile steel with excellent cutting strength, good rust resistance and easy resharpening.
The contoured handle of the Barlow BFF is made of domestic walnut wood and it fits comfortably in the hand. A decorative hollow brass rivet doubles as a lanyard loop, and, together with the other rivets, ads a visual appeal.
The fitted black leather sheath works together with the integrated clip to create a superior carrying system.

The Boker Tree Brand Story
In the 17th century, the Boker family began a small hardware factory beneath a towering chestnut tree in Germany. This tree was incorporated into the Boker's first logo in the 1600s, and has remained an important brand symbol. Over the years, the Boker family expanded their business and moved to Solingen, the City of Blades, to begin the now-famous knife line with cutlery expert Hermann Heuser. In honor of the majestic tree from their first factory, Boker was originally known as Tree Brand, and many still refer to it by this name.
