Boker Plus Desertman Knife
Outdoor knife with a total length of 242 mm, crafted in Full Tang construction, featuring a tang running through the entire handle. The blade with a Spear-Point profile is made from Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel and coated with a black titanium coating. The handle made from fibre-reinforced composite (GRP) and thermoplastic rubber (TPR) in sandy-brown color ensures a firm grip. The set includes a plastic sheath.
Sandvik 12C27 steel
The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which features good edge retention, very good corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness level of 53–59 HRC, while offering good impact toughness.
Spear-Point profile blade, titanium coating
The blade with a Spear-Point profile has a length of 115 mm and a thickness of 4.2 mm. The blade is coated with a black, anti-corrosive titanium coating that gives it a matte appearance and reduces friction during cutting. The smooth cutting edge is achieved with a high flat grind, which works well for most outdoor applications.
Ergonomic handle, wide glass breaker
The ergonomically shaped handle is made from fibre-reinforced composite (GRP) and thermoplastic rubber (TPR) in sandy-brown color, ensuring a secure grip even with gloves. At the rear, the knife's tang protrudes beyond the scales and is shaped into a wide glass breaker, which can be used for emergency glass breaking and as an additional outdoor tool. The end of the handle also features two holes for threading a safety cord.
Sheath with eyelets
The set includes a fitted plastic sheath, equipped with a snap-secured strap to prevent accidental loss of the knife. The sheath is equipped with eyelets for multi-positional attachment to a belt or gear elements.
