The various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have been convincing special forces all over the world for yeARS and have emerged as an icon among Tactical Knives. The knife goes back to the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from World War II and was designed by Col. Rex Applegate. The elite soldier coordinated secret operations throughout Europe during the war and even became President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal guard.
The low profile and incredibly elegant lines of the successful Urban Trapper has had countless enthusiastic customers. Brad Zinker addresses the growing demand for a "heftier" version with the FR MODel. Based on the same design principles - e.g. as titanium frame lock with ball-bearing hinged blade - the Böker Plus FR features a slightly heavier and wider handle design, which together with the minimally increased blade thickness moves the overall impression significantly more in the direction of a utility knife, but without compromising its elegance. VG-10 is used as the blade steel here as well.
