A new RoseCraft traditional has released today, and for the many of fans of the barlow pattern it will be particularly welcome. The Otter Creek Barlow sports classic dimensions for the form and materials well-suited to its role as an EDC knife.
The barlow might be the single most recognizable traditional knife pattern in the world – it’s certainly one of the trendiest. It’s well-suited to many cutting chores, pockets well, and, thanks to the extra long bolster (originally intended to strengthen the pivot area), it’s just very aesthetically pleasing. In terms of the slipjoint offerings in RoseCraft’s lineup, the Otter Creek seems like the crossroads between their other barlow model, the Beaver Creek, and the Loosahatchie Jack, a knife with a shape and look very close to a barlow without quite earning the definition.
