Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow G10 Folding Knife Reviews

4.5 Rating 4 Reviews

The Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow is a refined take on the classic sleeveboard pattern, blending traditional form with modern precision. Built as a slipjoint, it offers smooth, dependable operation without the need for a locking mechanism, making it an ideal everyday companion. The flat ground blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a premium choice known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Finished in a clean satin, both the blade and spring reflect the brand’s commitment to crisp, understated finishing.
What truly sets this version apart is its striking purple G10 handle, bringing a tough material in an attractive colour to a classic folder. The satin stainless steel integral bolsters and liners create a seamless, robust frame, while nickel silver pins and the classic Federal shield complete the traditional aesthetic. The Gateway Barlow balances heritage and contemporary craftsmanship beautifully, offering a pocket knife that feels both timeless and distinctly special in hand.

“I have a couple of these, I also have the Equal End from Jack Wolf too, at first glance they're all impeccable, even more si given the price point, and as far as the metalwork side of things goes they are, however, I won't buy any more, as it seems the scales, although boasting a full complement of pins, domed even, on the second release, are in fact glued on. I've not experienced any problems personally, and haven't dropoed my own knives, but there is a post on Instagram from a buyer whose knife fell off a kitchen worktop onto a lino floor and lost one of it's scales. In fairness the owner of JW did offer to make it right, but if Rosecraft can pin their scales, as they should be, why not Jack Wolf? If you're planning on buying a Gateway series knife this is something to bear in mind, as the owner 'thought' they may all be glued. My thought on that is "You specced the build mate, there should be no 'thought' about it.”

“Having owned many of the 270 quid JW’s of a few years ago, I took a punt and ordered 4 of these and so glad I did. They may not have the powdered steels, titanium or fancy blade grinds of the more expensive versions, but neither do GEC’s…. But just like my GEC’s they have a great walk and talk and impeccable F&F (4 out of 4). There’s only one more to get for me (and its still in stock) so please don’t buy that one…. HH delivers once again!”

“I own far too many Jack Wolfs and i shouldn't have been surprised that the fit & finish is just as good as their high end slip joints in Ti from a couple of years ago. Perhaps a bit less snap on the walk & talk (but still sounds better than a rosecraft without the stop-pin IMO) & a positive action with a light enough pull to make these pinchable (for me at least). No fancy blade steels, grinds or titanium but i bought 4 of these on a whim and they are all without flaw and up there with a good GEC (i have many more of these to compare with). If they start pinning the shields (or ditching them completely) this is the the winning formula ..... IMO of course! Get them quick.”

“Perfect! Flawless build quality, sharp out of the box just stropped it and it now shaves arm hair and push cuts note paper. Please stop showing me pretty pocket knives or I'll have to stop looking after a couple of pints!”
