Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow
Classic Barlow pattern – one of the oldest and most beloved pocket knife designs
7.6 cm blade made from Sandvik 14C28N – corrosion resistant, tough and easy to maintain
Traditional slipjoint mechanism – opened via nail nick, no locking mechanism
Compact everyday carry size – 9.8 cm closed length and approx. 88 g weight
The Gateway Barlow by Jack Wolf Knives is a modern interpretation of one of the oldest pocket knife patterns ever made. Since the 19th century, the Barlow has been known as a simple, reliable working knife carried by farmers, craftsmen and travelers alike.
Designer Benjamin Belkin takes this classic character and brings it into the Gateway series – offering the recognizable Jack Wolf quality at a more accessible price point.
The 7.6 cm blade made from Sandvik 14C28N provides excellent corrosion resistance, solid edge retention and easy maintenance. It opens in the traditional way via a nail nick.
The non-locking slipjoint mechanism, stainless steel bolsters and the deliberate absence of a pocket clip keep the knife close to its traditional Barlow roots.
With a 9.8 cm closed length and about 88 g weight, the Gateway Barlow is an uncomplicated EDC knife – exactly what a good pocket knife has been for more than a hundred years.

Little mouse
With the Riv, GiantMouse present a model that fans of somewhat more compact knives in particular have long been waiting for. What may look like a Biblio washed too hot at first glance is actually much more.
Visually, the Riv is clearly reminiscent of its big brother at first, but it also fulfills the long-held desire of many fans of Jesper Voxnaes to get a high-end version of the CRKT Pilar - there is a certain similarity here as well. The basic idea behind the Riv was to offer a pocket knife that is small enough to really carry with you wherever you go. Despite the compact dimensions, however, the knife should still be a full-fledged cutting tool that can be used properly.
The handle of the Riv is designed as a framelock, and it's no surprise that an exceedingly good-looking and popular combination of materials is used here in the form of titanium and micarta. To prevent wear in the lock, the lockbar was provided with a stainless steel insert, which also serves as an internal overtravel guard, so that the lock can not be accidentally overstretched when opening. Typical for GiantMouse is the curved wire clip, which allows the knife to disappear deep and barely visible in the pocket.
For the blade, the manufacturer once again relies on the proven CPM S90V Steel, which provides excellent cutting performance and is extremely resistant to rust the DLC coating supports that too and also gives a great image. The knife is opened either via the thumb hole or the small flipper tab, which allows the ball-bearing blade to shoot out of the hilt.
Like all GiantMouse knives, the Riv was named after a special place.
After boss and founder of the brand, Jim Wirth, moved from California to East Lansing/ Michigan in 2020, he remembered a small pub he had visited often as a student at Michigan State University: The Riv. That pub still exists today and will be the breeding ground for many imaginative evenings together for Wirth, Ansø and Voxnaes in the future.
Like the GiantMouse Sonoma, the Riv is entirely manufactured by Reate.

Böker Plus Atlas OD Green
Slim, reduced, and exactly why it works so well.
The Böker Plus Atlas OD Green doesn’t try to be more than it is. A full-metal EDC stripped down to the essentials – flat, lightweight, and reliable in everyday use.
The coated stainless steel handle in OD Green gives it a subtle, slightly military-inspired look without being over the top. Paired with the dark-coated blade and black hardware, the result is a clean and cohesive design: understated, but far from boring.
The drop point blade made from Swedish 12C27 fits perfectly into this concept. Corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain, and quick to resharpen – a steel that simply works without demanding attention.
Opening is done the classic way via nail nick. As a slipjoint, the Atlas keeps things intentionally simple and controlled, staying true to traditional pocket knives. No lock, no drama – just a tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Thanks to its low weight and slim profile, the Atlas carries exceptionally well. It practically disappears in your pocket and is right there when you need it.
This version is exclusively available through selected specialist dealers. Not something you’ll find everywhere – and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
Böker Plus Atlas Backlock Big
The Atlas by Böker Plus has been a staple in many EDC setups for years.
Slim, straightforward and exactly why people keep coming back to it.
With the Atlas Backlock Big, this classic gets the upgrade many have been waiting for: more size and a true locking mechanism.
With an overall length of 21 cm, the knife feels noticeably more substantial in hand. You get more grip, more control and can handle more demanding cutting tasks with confidence. It simply feels more like a proper tool—without becoming bulky.
The backlock is what really makes the difference here.
Proven, robust and intuitive, it adds the level of security you want when putting pressure on the blade—without overcomplicating the design.
At the same time, the Atlas stays true to its roots.
Reduced to the essentials, slim in the pocket and always ready when you need it.
The 12C27 blade fits perfectly into this concept: corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain and quick to resharpen. Exactly the kind of steel you want in a knife that’s meant to be used, not just carried.
The Atlas Backlock Big is not a showpiece.
It’s the Atlas—just with more substance, for those who wanted a bit more size and security.
Highlights
21 cm overall length – more grip and control
Backlock mechanism for secure use
Evolution of the popular Atlas classic
Slim, everyday carry-friendly design
12C27 steel – corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain, reliable edge retention
Perfect as a straightforward EDC with more substance
Auxiliary Manufacturing Pocket Bowie – Crossbar Lock
The Auxiliary Manufacturing Pocket Bowie by Mike Jarvis is exactly what the name promises: a Bowie knife in pocket format.
The classic Bowie silhouette meets modern EDC design – bringing a little bit of Wild West DNA into a folder that fits perfectly into everyday carry.
The knife is produced by Miguron Knives in China, a manufacturer that has built a strong reputation over the past few years for precise CNC machining, clean finishing and consistently high production quality.
The approximately 7 cm blade made from Sandvik 14C28N is an excellent choice for a knife like this. The steel offers great corrosion resistance, solid edge retention and easy maintenance – exactly what you want from a compact EDC folder. From opening packages to everyday cutting tasks, the Pocket Bowie handles it all with ease.
The biggest difference compared to the Framelock version is the Crossbar Lock. This system works on the same principle as the well-known AXIS-style lock: a transverse bar engages behind the blade to create a secure and ambidextrous locking mechanism. The result is a knife that feels very secure, is easy to operate one-handed and works perfectly for both right- and left-handed users.
Highlights
Design by Mike Jarvis – classic Bowie character in a modern EDC folder
14C28N blade steel – corrosion resistant, tough and easy to maintain
Crossbar Lock – secure locking system with fully ambidextrous operation
Compact EDC size – Bowie styling in a pocket-friendly format
Manufactured by Miguron – precise CNC machining and excellent build quality
Despite its bold Bowie-inspired design, the Pocket Bowie remains a true Every Day Carry knife: compact enough for the pocket, light enough for daily use, and distinctive enough that it won’t get lost among generic folders.
Bottom line: classic Bowie aesthetics, modern steel and a Crossbar Lock that simply makes everyday use fun.
Auxiliary Manufacturing Coffin Tanto
Beim Auxiliary Manufacturing Coffin Tanto zeigt Mike Jarvis einmal mehr, warum seine Designs in der EDC-Szene so beliebt sind.
Die Idee dahinter lässt sich ziemlich einfach erklären: Stell dir vor, ein Tanto und ein Sargdeckel hätten beschlossen, gemeinsam ein Taschenmesser zu werden. Genau so sieht das Ergebnis aus – und erstaunlicherweise funktioniert diese Mischung ziemlich gut.
Gefertigt wird auch dieses Modell von Miguron Knives. Der Hersteller hat sich in den letzten Jahren einen starken Ruf für präzise CNC-Fertigung, saubere Passungen und konstant hohe Serienqualität aufgebaut.
Die etwa 7 cm lange Klinge aus 14C28N bringt alles mit, was man von einem modernen Messerstahl erwartet: hohe Rostträgheit, gute Schnitthaltigkeit und eine unkomplizierte Pflege. Gerade die Tanto-Spitze spielt ihre Stärken bei präzisen Schnitten und bei Materialien aus, bei denen eine stabile Spitze gefragt ist.
Der Name kommt natürlich vom Griffdesign. Die typische Coffin-Form erinnert an einen Sargdeckel – kantig, markant und gleichzeitig überraschend ergonomisch. Dadurch liegt das Messer sicher in der Hand und hebt sich optisch deutlich von vielen klassischen EDC-Foldern ab.
Highlights
Design von Mike Jarvis – markantes Tanto mit eigenständigem Charakter
14C28N Stahl – rostträge, schnitthaltig und pflegeleicht
Tanto-Klinge – stabile Spitze für präzise Schneidarbeiten
Coffin-Griffdesign – markante Form mit überraschend guter Ergonomie
Gefertigt von Miguron – präzise CNC-Fertigung und saubere Verarbeitung
Trotz seines auffälligen Designs bleibt das Coffin Tanto ein echtes EDC-Messer. Kompakt genug für die Hosentasche, praktisch genug für den Alltag und mit genug Charakter, dass es garantiert nicht wie der nächste Standardfolder wirkt.
Unterm Strich: Tanto-Power, eigenständiges Design und genau die richtige Portion Charakter für den Alltag.
TOKO – Blade Show Contender 2025
The TOKO by Jens Ansø is pure reduction: subtle elegance that doesn’t scream for attention, but convinces through clean lines and perfect proportions.
At Blade Show Atlanta 2025 it was honored with the Contender Award “Best Imported Folder” – a clear statement of how timeless design and precise craftsmanship come together.
Mud-Track milling on the titanium handle: reduces weight and adds a distinctive detail that unites function and form.
Hollow-ground blade made of RWL34: finely ground, sharp, and ready for everyday use.
Almost invisible flipper tab: discreet in appearance, yet works extremely reliably and smooth.
Shop-Built in Denmark: crafted in Jens Ansø’s own workshop – each piece made with meticulous attention to detail.
Weighing only about 94 g, the TOKO carries almost invisibly in your pocket, yet never feels insignificant. Its elegance reveals itself in use – understated, reliable, full of character.
The TOKO is not limited – but the wait time for one is several months. So patience is required, but rest assured: it’s absolutely worth it.
Anso of Denmark TOKO Amber – Warm. Minimal. Unmistakably Anso.
The TOKO Amber is the warm, almost organic-looking version of Jens Ansø’s minimalist folder.
Its titanium scales are anodized in an amber-bronze tone that shifts with the light – sometimes golden, sometimes deep bronze.
It’s a finish that doesn’t show off, but quietly impresses, like metal that already carries a bit of history.
The grey hardware, clip and backspacer add a clean, technical contrast, giving the knife a beautifully balanced look and feel.
As always with Ansø, the construction is clean, reduced and precise.
The mud-track milling provides subtle texture – not sharp, not overly grippy,
but that gentle tactile feedback that makes the knife feel instantly familiar in hand.
Combined with the finely hollow-ground RWL34 blade, the TOKO Amber glides through everyday tasks with ease and confidence.
The flipper tab is so minimal it almost disappears, yet it fires flawlessly –
a small piece of refinement Jens has perfected over the years.
Each TOKO Amber is built in his own workshop in Denmark, assembled and tuned by hand.
No mass production here – just intentionally small batches where every piece reflects the maker behind it.
The Amber version is made for those who love titanium but want something warmer,
a touch more character without drifting into anything flashy.
And because Ansø’s work is always in high demand, it’s smart not to wait too long –
even without a formal limitation, the wait times for a TOKO can easily stretch into months.

Böker Damascus Annual Knife 2026
The Böker Damascus Annual Knife is something many collectors look forward to every year. Once a year the Böker Manufactory in Solingen releases a special model that showcases what their craftsmen are capable of – and experience shows that these pieces rarely stay available for long.
For the 2026 edition, Böker turned to a design by Lucas Burnley. Burnley is well known in the knife world and has a strong sense for shapes that work well in everyday use. The knife opens via thumb stud and is secured with a classic backlock – a mechanism that has proven its reliability for decades and is still highly appreciated by many knife enthusiasts.
The blade is made from 160 layers of Damascus in a Ladder pattern. Depending on how the light hits it, the pattern reveals different details, making each knife slightly unique. If you enjoy Damascus, you will probably catch yourself looking at the blade more often than strictly necessary.
The handle is made from carbon fiber, adding lightness and durability while creating a beautiful contrast to the traditional Damascus blade. A 3D-milled titanium pocket clip keeps the knife securely in your pocket and completes the overall design.
The knife is manufactured in the Böker Manufactory in Solingen. As with every Damascus Annual Knife, the 2026 edition is strictly limited to 999 pieces worldwide.
A knife many collectors have on their list every year – and one that usually doesn’t stay available for long.
