Boker Plus Extension Knife 02BP0003
Code: 02BP0003Product detailed description
Extension knives have a long tradition in hunting. When folded, the handle covers exactly half of the cutting edge, while the other half extends beyond the handle. This means that the knife can be used for all ‘red work’ tasks such as gutting, skinning and chopping. When the knife is folded out, the blade length is ideal for capturing a wounded piece of game, which fortunately only happens in rare cases.
Extension knives lock in both the open and closed position. Legally, extension knives can be regarded as folding knives, which means that, unlike fixed knives, there is no limit to the blade length of 12 cm. The Boker Plus Extension Knife, which is locked but still has to be opened with both hands, can be carried freely in accordance with § 42a of the German Weapons Act - despite its considerable blade length of 18.5 cm.
The Boker Plus Extension Knife is one of the rare, if not the only modern interpretation of an extension knife. The designer and constructor Wilfried Hein is hardly known, but is all the more creative when it comes to inventing special technical solutions. In his eventful life, he has mainly advised various German authorities on weapon technology requirements and initiated numerous detailed developments. The Extension Knife has a massive and bulky D2 blade that locks with a large cross bolt both when open and closed. The cross bolt can also be screwed into the handle without tools for even greater resilience both when fully open and when shortened. This means that the knife must also be operated with two hands to open it, making it a two-handed knife in its purest form.
The handle made of two thick steel plates and milled G10 is a modern take on the double-T handles of the Baselards of the 14th and 15th centuries. For versatile use, the knife has a sturdy striking spike at the end of the handle.
The knife is supplied with a custom-fitted Kydex sheath.
