Product detailed description
In the Kihon Assisted Copper knife, American custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley embodies the idea of the Japanese Kihon. The term Kihon encompasses the fundamentals and basic techniques of Japanese martial arts in connection with the symbiosis of man's living with nature. The fittings and simple design testify to high practicality and give the knife an ideal basis for everyday cutting.
The Harpoon blade in D2 material has a stonewash finish and opens with a spring-loaded flipper or thumb pin. The blade is secured with a sturdy stainless steel lock. The shape and weight of the copper handle fits well in the hand and after only a short time the characteristic patina appears. With loop for retaining strap, clip (tip-up/r).

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.
