Case Crossroads XR Barlow 2.5" Slip Joint – Tan Richlite, CPM S35VN, Black G10 Bolsters – Made in USA (CA53160)

A hundred years of Barlow. Rebuilt for today.

The Case Crossroads XR Barlow takes the iconic silhouette of one of the oldest American folding knife patterns and rebuilds it from the ground up with modern materials. The 2.5" clip point blade is CPM S35VN, a premium stainless steel chosen for edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that holds up to daily use without demanding much care. Tan Richlite handle scales give the knife its warm, traditional look while offering moisture resistance and durability that natural materials cannot match. Black G10 bolsters and liners provide structural strength and the distinctive elongated bolster that defines the Barlow silhouette. Nail nick opener and slip joint. Made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, start to finish.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The XR Barlow is what you get when Case decides to stop making excuses for traditional design and just upgrades everything. S35VN in a slip joint that fits in a fifth pocket is a genuinely compelling carry option. Bradford, PA, since the early 1900s. Still making them there.
