This has got to be the most popular Case knife on KZread right now! Great review. I wish it would've been a single blade Barlow. But I have to admit it's a sweet looking bone!

Yes, a single blade Barlow is my preference. On a two blade Barlow, the screwdriver tipped cap lifter would have been cool. I really dig the purple bone as well.

I don’t usually get too excited about Case releases, or even have many of their knives,, but this had to be the quickest I’ve ever grabbed a newly released knife! Case just has the look of the Barlow I’m after, particularly the bolster Truthfully my two favorite Rough Ryder Barlows (Red Worm & Stoneworx) still have the best w&t of any I’ve handled, including this one. Just wish they’d deviate from the rounded bolster once in a while ..Also Howdy Tobias!

I just picked one of these up at my local Ace Hardware store today it was the last one they had and of course I had to rush home and look up a video by you to make sure you would review this excellent knife and alas you have great job once again sir

Love the Barlow, and like you said the shades of purple really jump out in the natural sunlight. I also got one of the Copperlocks that looks really good too. Was happy to see them release another Barlow and full size Copperlock.

That Barlow looks like a beauty also. Thanks for watching, Terrill.

Nice review. The Case XX Barlow is an attractive and a functional knife pattern for everyday carry. It’s an “old school” pocket knife, yet the Case build makes them easy on the eyes. When you pull out a Case Barlow, people usually notice and will often ask you about the knife. The fact that they are made in the USA by true knife craftsmen is what makes a Case XX a special purchase. They make a great gift item that would be appreciated by any knife carrying person. While yours does seem to have a few flaws in fit and finish, I’m sure that isn’t the norm coming from the Case facility. Thanks again for sharing this. - Tennessee Smoky

I'm certainly glad I did. Case Barlows are a definite want for me.

I hav all the Rosecraft traditional knives and they are flawless! With the exception of the color of your Barlow, I have not seen any other reviewer complain. Big Red just showed three of their Seconds with 50% discount and he was hard pressed to find the flaws even with a note indicating what it was. I see no reason a US manufacturer like Case should be putting out knives with obvious flaws and still ask premium prices. I like this Barlow and the next time we go to the grocery, I will drop by the factory and see if they have a store...I don't feel confident that I would get one without an obvious flaw shopping online. Case is the only company I see consistently getting complaints. They are a major employer in our region and I would like to support them but they need to improve their QC so they don't follow Ontario Knives.

Mine should have been a 2nd IMO when comparing them to those that were and weren't. I'd have liked to have gotten it at half the price. No worries though, I colored it myself and it looks great now, and you're right the F&F otherwise was great. Thanks, Terrance.

Nice review. I have the same knife with just a very small gap with the springs. No big deal with me with the gap. My pet peeve is blade centering and blade play and my Barlow is perfect in those areas. So I’m really happy with my purchase of this knife. Also love the purple barnboard jig covers.

My knife has a small gap between the springs, no thicker than a hair. Both blades stand perfectly straight, in the center. I specifically looked at knives that were released in the seventies, eighties two thousandth. Different limited models. They are all about the same, each has some kind of flaw. I am sure that it is almost impossible to find an absolutely perfect knife, without any claims.

Awesome look at this one John looking forward to picking up some of the newer barlows when they drop 🙏🏼

Very nice though I agree that for the price you should expect a close to perfect standard. Still sticking to "the list" and I got my Case, a mini Wharncliffe Trapper, got to pick it in person too which is rarer than hens teeth in the UK. Next is an old style Hunting fixed blade, or a wood handled Otter folder.

Lovely Barlow, but Case, above all manufacturers should not release a knife with an obvious flaw like that shown in your review. The “Made In America” mantra carries the onus of unquestioned quality. If they continue to cut corners on their quality control it will soon come around to be their demise. You cannot release flawed knives and expect to command premium dollars. I have noticed that their prices over the past half dozen years seems to have grown exponentially,possibly twenty to thirty per cent. I luckily acquired about a half dozen Case knives five or six years ago. Now I wince at their prices in the SMKW catalog.

@BrianK_70

Agree on the qc issues, but the prices are just inflation. Almost everything is 20-30+% more than a few years ago, including nearly all knives.

@ThriftyKaniffy

The price undoubtedly limits how many I can buy. I can't drop $70 on every knife so when I do, I really hope for these kinda gaps to be eliminated. It wasn't the "case" with this one.
