Berg Blades Barber V2 – 2.9" MagnaCut Cleaver Blade, Textured 6AL-4V Titanium Handle, Frame Lock / Thumb Stud

Product Description

The Berg Blades Barber V2 is the second-generation version of the Barber cleaver folder, built with a CPM MagnaCut blade and a textured 6AL-4V titanium frame lock handle. Berg kept the straight-razor-inspired silhouette of the original and reworked nearly everything underneath it: thinner stock, slimmer handles, less weight and a more practical clip.

The 2.9-inch cleaver blade is cut from 0.125-inch stock, thinner than the first Barber, and finished with an aggressive thin hollow grind that leaves very little material behind the edge. The result is a wide, straight working edge that slices with low drag and is easy to control on detail cuts. MagnaCut brings a strong balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance.

The handle is milled from 6AL-4V titanium in either a diamond or swirl texture depending on the colourway, giving real grip without bulk. Scales run 0.135 inch thick and the knife measures just 0.445 inch overall, so it carries flat at about 3.7 ounces. Each colourway is finished with matching accents on the clip, back spacer, pivot collars and thumb stud, from anodized bronze and dark blurple to blue crystalized titanium, rose gold PVD and Timascus.

A thumb stud swings the blade out on ceramic bearings riding on hardened washers, and the frame lock uses a hardened lock face with an overtravel stop for a solid lockup. The redesigned pocket clip opens wider to fit thicker fabrics. Production is limited (50 per colourway) and each knife is numbered on the back spacer, with left-handed versions available in Stonewash and Blue Crystalized. The Barber V2 is a refined, hard-working cleaver for collectors and everyday carriers alike.
