Boker Knives Descriptions
Boker Barlow - Prime Beech Wood
The typical teardrop shape of the Barlow goes back to 17th-century English pocketKnives, which certainly makes it one of the world's oldest knife MODels. The knife probably got its name from the business-savvy knife producer in Sheffield who began exporting the sturdy knife to North America around 1800. It became very popular from the start there. By the end of the 19th century, the first Barlow MODels appeared in the history of the Boker Manufactory.The Boker Barlow Prime is a new interpretation with shorter bolsters and a blade of nitrogen-alloyed N690. It has a MODern elongated ricasso and a slipjoint made more secure with a 90-degree lock-in when opening or closing. The bolsters and tang are made from stainless steel, while the handle scales consist of stabilized wood of the domestic hornbeam.
Boker Plus FR - Cocobolo
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.
