KNIVES

 In the 19th century, the Texas Tooth Pick knife was widespread, especially among farmers and daring soldiers of fortune. As a further development of the Navaja knives brought by the Spanish settlers, the Texas variant has a strikingly long blade and a generally slim design. These features predestined the Texas Tooth Pick for a variety of tasks. From agricultural purposes such as taking samples to determine the quality of fruits and vegetables, to filleting fish, to the adrenaline-fueled duels of daredevil duelists, the gentleman's knife covered a wide spectrum. Boker Plus reinterprets the popular design and provides the Urban Texas Tooth Pick with the usual innovative performance. The flipper opens the ball-bearing VG-10 blade with Hairline finish silky smooth and spurs the daily cutting work. In contrast to its historical model, the Gentleman knife is reliably locked with a liner lock and thus significantly increases its suitability for everyday use. The curved black handle scales are made of textured G10 and ensure a perfect hand position as well as a modern look. The milled clip tip-up (r) has a stonewash finish. Comes with a touch of the Wild West.SPECIFICATIONS:--Overall Length:  7.52 in--Blade Length:  3.31 in--Blade Thickness:  0.10 in--Weight:  1.52 oz--Blade Material:  VG-10--Handle Material:  G10--Opener:  Flipper--Lock Type:  Linerlock.

 In the 19th century, the Texas Tooth Pick knife was widespread, especially among farmers and daring soldiers of fortune. A further development of the Navaja knives brought by the Spanish settlers, the Texas version has a strikingly long blade and a generally slender design.

From a collection: Original c1992 Al Mar Special Warfare 1 (3101) fixed blade knife. Features a 6 1/8" satin finished plain edge stainless blade (probably VG-10 - but I'm not sure I remember that). Titanwood laminate palm-swell handles. Brass guard. 11 1/8" overall. Knife has never been carried, used or sharpened. Handle has the smallest of a chip that was lost during the drilling for lanyard tube. Not uncommon on laminate handles. Not very noticable, but just letting you know it's there. Original leather sheath that has never been out of it's factory plastic bag. (So this knife has never even been sheathed before) Numbered pre-production piece. Knife, cardboard blade sleave and box all bear original number. Original box is solid - but, here is the bad news - It shows storage wear, some staining and some scrapes....still solid, still original, but like me, just not pretty. Priced accordingly. Pristine knife as it came from Seki City - including the chip in handle - character some might say. Sheath brand new. Box, rather ratty looking. Side note - we sold this knife new c.1992. NOTE: While in excellent condition except as noted, be advised this knife is from a collection, so please consider it used.

Brad Zinker always manages to uncover new facets of the popular Boker Plus Urban Trapper. As a master of his craft, the US knife designer knows better than anyone else how to reinvent the existing designs of the gentleman's knife with clever combinations of materials. The Boker Plus Urban Trapper Jigged Titanium comes with a surface-ground and ball-bearing VG-10 blade with a hairline finish, which opens with a flipper and is secured by a robust linerlock. A modern accent is set by the titanium handle, which pays homage to the countless classics with jigged-bone handle scales. This not only places the knife right up front visually, but also significantly enhances the feel of the pocket-knife. The stainless steel deep-carry clip allows for tip-up (r) carry and is finished with a stonewash finish.
