Compact, but stout, and one hundred percent tuned for utility - this is how the Boker Plus Outdoorsman presents itself. The full tang and thick blade provide maximum durability, while the protruding pommel is shaped into a hammer surface. The directly overmolded CFC handle has a very large grip zone made from pleasantly feeling TPR, therefore providing secure and pleasant handling even in wet or cold conditions. The blade is made from 12C27 and features a titanium finish for better corrosion protection. The bore in the tang not only supports attaching a lanyard, but also allows simple fastening to a stick to be used as a makeshift harpoon. A compact everyday companion for any outdoor situation or hunting. Shipped with cordura sheath.
12C27 is a classic Swedish Sandvik steel used for many outdoor knives and very popular with French manufacturers like Robert David. Sometimes, 12C27 is used for mass-produced razor blades. Depending on the heat treatment, its hardness can be above or below 440C.
Fibre-reinforced plastic, short FRP, is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinfored with glass fibres. In knife production, it is mainly used for handles. Different combinations lead to diverse end products. It is important that the used materials are similar in their properties and processing possibilities and that they fit together. Originally, this technology came from the aerospace and defence industries, where particularly powerful and lightweight materials are required. Glassfibre-reinforced plastics are irreplaceable in many areas today.
