The hand rubbed satin finished CPM-154 blade is razor sharp, perfectly centered and super smooth with a modern, titanium liner construction. The handles call back to the old time slip joints but are made with handsome Micarta composite: black canvas bolsters and custom, Mexican Blanket Especial G-Carta scales with contrasting red liners and a satin finished shield.

Brand new, direct from Enrique Pena, USA.

Blade: A classic clip point profile blade is made from premium, American CPM-154 stainless with a hand-rubbed horizontal satin finish and a razor edge. For piecing and fine work the top swedge delivers a nice taper to the point while the high height hollow grind offers great slicing performance. Jimping on the spine enhances traction and extends to the streamline, front flipper tab which offers ambidextrous operation. Riding on caged stainless bearings, the blade deploys with smooth operation and has a well dialed in detent which for decisive flipper deployment.

Handle: Modern and clean in form and function, the frame of the handle is formed by two thick satin finished titanium liners. One of these liners also forms the liner locking mechanism which provides solid, secure lock up along with smooth operation. Giving the Barlow exceptional visual style, the scales are made from vivid, custom Mexican Blanket Especial G-Carta composite. Black canvas bolsters pair with the scales for a classy look and are offset with contrasting red liner material. The knife is finished off with satin titanium hardware and a brushed stainless steel shield on the show side.

Includes a Pena embroidered nylon zipper pouch for carry and storage.

CPM-154: CPM-154 is a particle metallurgy version of 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process providing it with an increase in toughness and easy of finishing. CPM-154 takes a very fine edge and is highly corrosion resistant. Edge retention is going to be on-par with CPM S30V while being easier to resharpen. A great all-around blade steel.
