Is This Arthur Wright Lignum Vitae Barlow Any Good?
Published: 1 week ago
This is my honest review of the Arthur Wright & Sons Lignum Vitae Barlow – a traditional Sheffield Barlow knife with rare Lignum Vitae wood scales and carbon steel. In this video I test the fit and finish, walk and talk, cutting performance, and answer the big question: is this Barlow actually any good, or just expensive pocket jewellery?
I’ll walk you through the build quality, how that Lignum actually feels in hand, the pull and snap, and some real-world cutting. Then I’ll compare it to other traditional pocket knives at a similar price and tell you exactly who this knife is for – collectors, users, or nobody.
If you’re into traditional pocket knives, Sheffield slipjoints, or you’re thinking about buying an Arthur Wright Barlow, this should save you some money and frustration.
