Kershaw Culpepper Barlow Pocket Knife 4383

[@jeffreyb8717]

Enjoying your channel. I have had a Culpepper for about a year. Your review is spot on. My only criticism would be that I wished they had made the bolster a bit longer in keeping with barlow aesthetics, but that is only a minor hit on a great knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the feedback Jeffrey. Welcome to the channel.

[@nitrorc4life1]

I prefer the bolster as is on this for less weight. There are plenty made for you as you want.

[@jameskosch4052]

Congratulations for a well deserved accomplishment. I appreciate your videos greatly. I also think you've sold this great-grandpa a new barlow. I'm presently carrying a 5" Bear & Son toothpick and I just love longer blade for cutting bread but I also love barlows and this one looks nice. I wasn't aware of Kershaw doing traditionals so it's worth a try.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad I could introduce you to something you like. I like Barlows too. Thanks so much for commenting James.

I like how it is a bigger Barlow not a long skinny Barlow like other grand daddy Barlow’s not that the other style is bad I like those also .....Congratulations on the five hundred well done Sir.

Congrats on 500 subs! I have the 3 Kershaws and very happy with them. I do agree thow that the pull on the Cullpeper could be a little stronger. All said and done, I like it a lot. Thanks for the review and keep them coming!🙂

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Will do Gerhard. Thanks for watching. Good series of knives, this.

First time I have seen this model, thanks TK! Looks very traditional. And congrats for reaching 500 subs!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you like it! Thanks DD.

[@RJsKnives]

Congratulations on getting to 500, that is awesome! I have the Brandywine stockman and like it. The names in the series commemorate the American Revolution. I like that Kershaw made some traditional style knives.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the info. Good to see a mainly modern knife company give traditional patterns some love. Take care RJ.

[@BladeObssession]

I thought this was so nice looking I ordered one even though I'm not really into slip joints but I do like the Barlow's. The only other slip joint I like is the Case Sodbuster

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Cool. Glad you're willing to give it a try.

Congrats on 500 you will be at 1k before you know it.. I like the Kershaw good looking knife..Thanks TK

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hey, thank you very much JP.

[@dwainsw4076]

Congratulations on reaching 500 subscribers. You hit a niche that I like. I like knives and I am not interested in paying for the newest supersteel because I grew up on Case, Boker, Camillus and Kabar pocket knives and have always found them to meet my needs.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Dwain. Traditionals do it for me. Welcome to the channel.

[@stevebarraclough8500]

Just ordered one in the UK on your recommend. Will let you know how I like it on receipt of this knife. Right in no mans land for UK legality though. Will depend on who you listen to and who has a problem with you carrying it lol. I intend to use as edc so we will see.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's all about how they apply the law, but according to some pretty smart guys here the cutting edge is what matters. Does that mean a cop won't hassle you anyway? nope. Not at all uncommon for those that enforce laws not to know them, unfortunately.

[@felinebline7154]

Congrats on hitting 500.

Much appreciated. Thanks for being there Rick.

Congratulations on 500. I have the Kershaw. I like it but wouldn’t get the other ones.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thank you Stuart, you've been here all along. Much appreciated. Glad you liked the Culpepper. Be well my friend.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

Congratulations TK, up to 1K for TK! The Culpepper is a lovely knife and i'm eyeing the brandywine to because, well because it's stockman and oh well i'm a sucker for traditionals, but i still look for excuses to buy the same patterns from different brands hahaha. The steel isn't that bad actually, bit more stropping and honing, but it holds up pretty good in my experience. That clippoint looks awesome, and the fit and finish is very well done. Thank you for the review buddy, have a nice week.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I just wish more primarily modern knife producers would put out a traditional line. Imagine if someone who already does slip joints like say Civivi, would do a traditional line. Nice comments Jeroen.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

@@ThriftyKaniffy That would be awesome, well a man can dream ofcourse. Although if a lot of people would ask for it, there sure would be a market for more traditional lines. Brother knives (ofcourse Chinese) make pretty good modern folders with traditional shapes. Better said traditional folders with modern materials. The more the better!

[@michellehansen1563]

It’s August of 2023 as I write,and Kershaw has released two more culpepper models. One of them has smooth bone covers and the other has jigged bone and both have D2 blades.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

And a copper one as a SMKW exclusive.

[@lewisgreenway5065]

The way the law about blade length in UK is written is very ambiguous, in one part it states 3 inch cutting edge in another part overall length of blade should not be over 3 inches, guess which part the Police use. I liked the look of the knife and thought about buying it and shortening blade to 3 inches but decided not to as it is more expensive here, did an imperial but that only cost me £9:95 when I bought it, wouldn't matter if I messed up although I think it looks okay modified into a Spearpoint. Another good review glad your channel growing.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes law interpretation is as important as the law itself. Thanks for your feedback Lewis. Smart idea in modifying the Imperial. Take care.

[@STUFFWEDO]

Good job on the 500. Nice knife and solid review.

[@dannywelch9492]

I have this knife and it's pretty good for the price.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The pull is a little lighter than I like for a blade this length, but otherwise, I felt it was well made.

[@dannywelch9492]

@@ThriftyKaniffy agreed. It could stand to be a little stiffer.

[@Toadonthehill.]

I have this Kershaw series and they are beautiful knives, well worth having. Beware there is the 2020 amendment to the knife law that says blade length not cutting edge. This does seem to be down to interpretation but beware out there in the UK as some bobbies are keener than other. Great review brother, happy holidays 🎅🏻👍.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Fair warning Toad. Thanks.

[@Toadonthehill.]

A lot of people are ignoring the change in the law or just don’t know about it. I had a letter from the Police explaining the changes as I’d got into a bit of trouble trying to import an assisted opener. The ‘weaponcollector’ who has a great Channel made a video about all the changes as he had to dispose of a few of the things in his collection due to some items now being illegal to own even in private, such as Batons that compress into the handle and Throwing Stars. Ignorance of the Law isn’t a defence in the UK however knife And Sword Collector’s should be OK providing they don’t Flash their Steel around in public 🤪 Happy Holidays 🎅🏻👍.

[@dwainsw4076]

That knife needs a second pen blade. I don’t have any use for slip joint knives with 1 blade. Good video.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Dwain. Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel.

[@danieltporter959]

KAI, is the Mother Company of Kershaw, that is what is marked on the Blade.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Makes perfect sense, thanks Daniel.

[@fatmangaming2720]

Kershaw is owned by Kai which is a Japanese company. Good review by the way. How did this one compare to the one with bone handles and copper bolsters?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, I've learned this since the review. It faired better. The Bone handled one had a very light pull and I returned it.

[@fatmangaming2720]

@@ThriftyKaniffy I am considering snagging one. I dig the look of the bone handle and copper, but this one with the black micarta has that old 1920's feel to it.

[@nitrorc4life1]

Agree, at 28 with 7cr, I keep passing it up.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's just okay.. Kershaw hasn't done much to really impress in years.

[@skcamerican]

Woohoo, 500 subs! I like the size of the Culpepper, and everything about it…except the clip point. A spear point or sheep’s foot, and I’d have to have one. But not at $28. Lol. I did get a teardrop jack in buckshot bone, and it’s just about perfect. Well, not crazy about the buckshot pattern or the big R, but great size and blade. Why is there so little love for the spear point blade? Why?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I wish I knew. It's why I bought the Papagayo! Thanks Su for all the channel love. Much appreciated.

I'm hoping Case is getting their $#!t together. I've had good recent success, so perhaps the QC is improving.

Nice, was looking at the Brandywine the other day but unavailable so got the Old Timer Buzzsaw Trapper instead. Do like this Barlow, chunky enough to get into some carving and long enough to do the camp tasks, nice clean lines too.

[@alexdetrojan4534]

@@ThriftyKaniffy ugh, the price discrepancy between the US and Canada when it comes to knives is horrendous. Canadian Border Services if they pick up at the border that you're importing a knife will slap a hefty fee on the package...at times this fee is many times the actual cost of the knife. I'm dismayed. I don't mind paying the currency difference between our two currencies(around 25%) but paying for more than the price of the knife, just to cross an invisible border really burns me. I've toyed with the idea of taking a road trip down to SMKW or Chicago Knife Works just to load up on all the pocket knives I want to get, but coming home across the border and explaining why I have dozens of knives when they ask me if I have anything to declare is not going to be fun. Wish there was a work around for this... sorry, rant over. 😒
