With 300 years of knife making experience, Canal Street Cutlery brings honor to the Barlow knife. The Barlow knife has been the workhorse for centuries on the farm, camp and workshop. First developed in the 17th century in England, by the time it hit the United States it quickly grew to be the tried and tested knife of the American knife maker’s catalog. This specific Barlow knife features the two flat blades with an elegant linen micarta “bone” handle.
