From the Manufacturer The Schrade Jackmaster Barlow features two stainless steel blades and a durable celluloid handle.

Review: The perfect pocket knife - This is my favorite. It's no-frills, practical, and does what it needs to do. I like the celluloid covers and the brass pins standing proud. Not too large and does not feel like a crowbar in the pocket. Cheap. It's a Barlow, a cheap Barlow. And I love it. If you are not experienced in sharpening knives, then I'm not sure what to tell you. These come dull right out of the box and the bevel will need to be taken down with a light to medium bastard file, and then you can move to a stone and get it as sharp as you ever want it. The steel is just stainless, it's not going to be the best, but it works, and if you are ever close to saltwater it will be ok. It's cheap. It's just a Barlow. A cheap Barlow. It's 'pretty' in a way of its own. Too many frilly and fancy knives out there now. I just wanted a Barlow, a cheap Barlow, and I got one. 3-year update: Still going strong. There is nothing about this knife that I don't like. It now has some "wear", but that only adds character. It has even been through the washing machine at least once due to forgetting to take it out of my pocket. This Imperial still holds its own with the older Imperials that became legend in their day. A truly great knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect pocket knife

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plain brown wrapper
*by M***T on January 4, 2023*

There is a reason that this timeless design is so popular. The age-old Barlow knife has always been a functional, no-frills, 5 and dime item offering classic looks and good value. It's not S35VN or Carpenter CTS XHP steel. There's no carbon fiber or ballistic nylon handle. It's a Barlow knife; a cheap, handy, small knife with super-strong spring action, cheap stainless steel blades, knobby brass rivets, a brown plastic handle, and that unmistakably cool "BARLOW" stamped into the bolster (on both sides) that we all remember from childhood in the 20th century. It's priced so that if you drop it into the lake or snap off the tip doing something stupid, you can replace it for 10 bucks. It shows up with a mildly sharp edge. If it's not sharp enough for you, then, sharpen it. My only problem is with the handle. The plastic is a bit cheap and chintzy feeling. There's not even an attempt to provide a knurl for gripping, nor any wood-like coloration. It's just smooth, shiny, brown and brittle plastic. Charge an extra dollar for some impact resistant ABS plastic and this would be a five star product. As it stands, it's an amazing value EDC knife and might be right for you. It's a Barlow after all.
