Boker Kihon Bifold 42a Folding Knife

The Boker Kihon Bifold 42a Folding Knife (brand part no. 110313) was designed by US knife maker Lucas Burnley around the Japanese concept of kihon, the fundamentals and basic technique behind martial arts, expressed here in a light-footed one-handed folder. The drop point blade is ground from powder metallurgy CPM MagnaCut steel at 61 to 62 HRC with a satin finish, giving it maximum stability alongside strong edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. The one-piece stainless steel handle is built using the bifold method, opened and unlocked intuitively with a nail nick and backlock, and it ships with a lanyard hole and a convertible tip-up clip.
