Product detailed description
Efficient, flat, fiery - in the lightweight Boker Kihon Bifold, American knife designer Lucas Burnley expresses the idea of Japanese kihon in form and philosophy.
The term originally encompasses the fundamentals and basic techniques of Japanese martial arts, the peaceful spiritual interpretation of which is felt in this knife.
The drop-point blade made of CPM MagnaCut powder metallurgical material (61-62 HRC) and the stonewash finish stand for maximum stability with excellent cutting properties.
It holds an edge, is hard, corrosion resistant and tough - qualities that leave nothing to chance!
The control concept with a nail notch and back lock to open and unlock the blade will be intuitive; the folded, one-piece stainless steel handle in stonewash is iconic.
With a lanyard hole, reversible tip-up clip and plenty of elegance.

The roots of Böker go back to the 17th century, when the family forge operated in Remscheid and focused on steel processing and edge tools. Over time, practical experience shaped a technical mindset that balanced durability, cutting performance, and reliability. The expansion into sabres and rapiers around 1829–1830 marked a decisive technological step, demanding precise heat treatment and consistent blade geometry. With more than a hundred skilled craftsmen employed, the company gained the capacity to refine production without losing its artisanal foundation.
During the second half of the 19th century, parts of the family moved to North America, establishing facilities in the USA and Canada. This international presence allowed experimentation with new designs and materials. Today, major production remains in Solingen, supported by manufacturing in the USA and Argentina, while modern CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and repeatable results. Böker develops knives in-house and in collaboration with well-known makers, delivering tools that combine engineering precision with practical usability, including the widely distributed MAGNUM line aimed at robust everyday performance.
