The Kershaw Barstow is a little wicked and a lot of value. Everything about this slim folding knife is simple, direct, and ready. The straight spear-point blade is sharpened on a single side. The handle has glass-filled nylon scales with heavy arrow-patterned texture to enhance grip. The Barstow’s dark good looks are set off by touches of subtle color—blue anodized tube spacers and rings in the flipper/fingerguard.
