Boker Plus Atlas Backlock Big 01BP0062

The blade made of high-quality Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel offers a balanced combination of corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening. This martensitic steel with a fine structure allows for the creation of a sharp and stable edge that handles common cutting tasks well without demanding maintenance. While it does not reach extreme wear resistance compared to some highly alloyed powder steels, its advantages remain practical usability and the possibility of rapid edge restoration. The classic Clip Point profile with a characteristically lowered spine line creates a relatively fine tip suitable for more precise work. The satin finish emphasizes the traditional character of the blade and creates a pleasant contrast to the dark handle.

The stainless steel handle with a Black Stonewash finish combines mechanical resistance with simple and purposeful processing. The specific surface treatment creates an irregular dark structure, which helps optically hide small scratches occurring during regular use. The slim profile facilitates carrying in a pocket, and the all-metal construction feels solid without the need for prominent decorative elements. Although the steel handle brings higher weight than lightweight synthetic materials, it offers good dimensional stability and durability during everyday handling.

The safe securing of the open blade is handled by the traditional Backlock lock, which is among the long-term proven constructions of folding knives. The flexible locking lever engages into a notch at the rear of the blade, preventing its unintended closure during work. Unlocking is performed by pressing the lever on the spine of the handle. The blade is opened with both hands using a classic nail nick, which corresponds to the traditional concept of pocket knives and allows for controlled manipulation without an assisted opening mechanism.

Böker Plus Atlas Backlock Big finds use in everyday activities, from opening shipments and cutting cardboard to preparing small snacks on a trip or common work in nature. The larger version provides a more practical grip and more universal use without sacrificing the simplicity of the original Atlas series. The equipment is not missing a hole for a lanyard and a pocket clip for right-side Tip-Up carry. As a result, this folding knife acts as a sensible choice for anyone looking for a durable all-metal EDC knife with high-quality Swedish steel, classic opening, and a reliable Backlock lock.
