KNIVES

Purist design and surgical precision as an expression of "haute coutellerie". The French knifemaker Charles de Buyer is known for his designs that are reduced to the essentials and at the same time promise a high utility value. The fixed knife is designed as an all-steel construction and features exciting details. Jimpings on the back of the edge-retaining D2 blade improve handling, while the nail nick and the pronounced ricasso add decorative accents. The flat handle of the Gekai gives a comfortable feel in the hand and has two large recesses at the end of the handle that save weight and can be used as a lanyard hole. Supplied with a custom-fit Kydex sheath and a belt adapter.

The up-and-coming German knife designer Simon Frömel is no stranger to Boker. He has already caused a sensation in the past with the Boker Plus Rescue Kiridashi. His next coup is certain: the Boker Plus Bad Moon is a fixed Karambit knife with a minimalist look and maximum functionality. The all-steel construction is equipped with a Hawkbill blade made of extreme edge retention D2, the lines of which continue in the curved handle and thus guarantee very efficient use. The entire knife is enhanced with a dark stonewash finish. Typical for this type of knife is the large ring at the end of the handle, which guarantees a secure hand position and can also be used as a lanyard hole. Supplied with a custom-made Kydex sheath and a ball chain for use as a neck knife.

The Boker Plus Leviathan is another collaboration between Boker and custom knife maker J.B. Stout. Stout's custom knives are some of the most sought after knives in the industry, and the Boker Leviathan offers a Stout design at a fraction of the price of one of his custom knives. The Leviathan's reverse Tanto blade is made from D2 tool steel, which offers good edge retention along with more toughness than most steels that are commonly seen in folding knives. Even though it is a high carbon tool steel, D2 has 10%-13% chromium which makes it a semi-stainless steel. The stonewashed stainless steel lock side scale is paired with a black G-10 show side scale on this model to save a bit of weight versus the standard all steel Leviathan.
