My latest mini slipjoint Barlow features an RWL34 blade and spring, a compact 7 cm cutting edge that opens to a tidy 12 cm overall length, set into hand-shaped scales finished with a luminous mother-of-pearl panel delicately adhered to the scales for a seamless visual flow, secured with gold-plated screws that complement the pearl’s warm iridescence, while bronze washers replace milled liners to provide smooth, reliable action and a subtle patina-prone contrast to the bright hardware, all assembled and finished by hand to ensure precise fit, balanced feel, and enduring performance.
