I own and use this same model and it works well as a slip joint. I've used it for all sorts of tasks and it does well for the price
From what little I know of the history of the Barlow knife, it's 'USP' was that a much more sturdy bolster was utilised to strengthen what was already a well made work knife. In terms of pattern, the bolsters weren't a third of the handle as is often said today. To be honest, the weak point of this knife is probably the length of the blade. On a plus point, it's good to see a cam-tang on modern made slipjoint. Half-stops cause as many accidents as they avoid, particularly on a strongly sprung work-knife. Let's face it, the most popular pocket knives today are drop shut. Thank you for putting up the video and showing the knife. A sharp blade being powered back towards you is not the greatest idea. I'd love to know its origins and purpose as there must be one. Regards.
Yes you are right this is why many new slip joint designs are made with a single or double-detent ball they combine the slip joint and modern drop shut fidget friendliness. Thave a great day.
Talking about pin position, if you look inside the channel of the knife you will see that the metal bolster has a pin or stop of some sort. You can't see it from the outside of the knife, but there's a pin holding the bolster on the one I own.
I'm 100% sure that the pin you see inside is the blade stop so that it does not touch the inside of the back spring.
There is no "Bohler". Steel is either 7Cr17MoV or 7Cr17 which is Chinese produced. It is a decent steel with high hardness, but not so great edge retention. Very nice blade shape otherwise.
yes I just forgot to delete that part
High hardness compared to what? Lol.
Not that I've had a lot of it tested, but the best performing 7cr I've ever used ended up testing 55.8. Its a steel with low edge retention that's disproportionately hard to sharpen. Literally the worst of both worlds...
It's a shame production companies are so scared of customers whining about corrosion, because this would actually be a decent knife with 1095.
@@CNYKnifeNut yes you are right I rather have 440C than any of the 7 or 8Cr Chinese steels.
