No. The BCWSB280 is a traditional slip joint. A backspring holds each blade open with tension, but there is no lock, so a blade can close if pressure is applied to the spine. Open each blade with the nail nick, use it for cuts that push the edge away from you, and keep your fingers clear of the edge.

A Barlow is a classic pocketknife pattern known for its long bolster and simple, sturdy build. The BCWSB280 has a 2 3/4-inch sheepfoot main blade, with a straight edge and rounded-down tip for controlled cutting with less risk of accidental punctures, and a smaller pen blade for light, detailed tasks like opening mail and trimming.

440 stainless steel resists rust well and sharpens easily, which makes it a practical choice for a pocketknife that gets used every day. Wipe the blades clean and dry after use, and add a drop of oil to the joints now and then to keep them opening smoothly.

Bone is a natural material, so shade and surface character vary from knife to knife, and white bone may mellow toward ivory with age and handling. Keep it out of long soaks in water and away from high heat, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. The nickel silver bolster can be polished with a soft cloth.
