Böker Partners up with CobraTec Yet Again for OTF Pen

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
Böker continues to roll out new automatic knives; their latest project in the genre is something quite different. The Böker Plus OTF Pen combines two different EDC tools, adding an automatic blade to a durable pen design.If you had to draw up a product based on the name “OTF Pen,” you’d probably come up with something similar to Böker’s creation. The pen itself is made from aluminum, with a chassis that echoes other “tactical” pens in the Böker lineup; the narrow waist flares out again towards the pen tip, creating an almost kubaton-like profile. The pen itself, a ball point, is deployed by twisting the pen barrel. But the main selling point (pun intended) on the OTF pen is found at the opposite end. After the end cap is unscrewed, users can then deploy an automatic blade by pressing up on the pocket clip; pushing it in the other way retracts the blade again. The blade is a tiny drop point, measuring 1.57 inches long – so this is a backup knife, suited for little, unexpected cutting chores and not intended as a complete EDC package. Sometimes with these novelty-style products, blade steel is neglected – but enthusiasts will be glad to hear Böker chose to make the OTF Pen’s blade from D2 semi stainless, so the little knife should hold an edge for quite a while.Due to the legal issues surrounding the format, all of Böker’s recent automatic projects have been made with help from OEMs in the USA. One of Böker’s go-to partners for automatics is CobraTec, a Texas-based shop that put together the Kwaiken OTF and a new Balisong release. CobraTec makes an OTF pen of its own, and the Böker knife bears a strong family resemblance to that product. The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Holey or Unholey, the 2021 CRKT Squid is now an assisted opener Folding Knife

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
When Lucas Burnley designed the Squid, we have no idea if he knew how popular it would be. It’s been one of CRKT’s best-selling knives for years now, and it’s had a few different makeovers. For 2021, CRKT is adding a little power and deco to the CRKT Squid with two versions that are both assisted openers. The CRKT Squid Holey and the CRKT Squid Assist use CRKT’s updated assisted opening system and improve this popular knife with easier opening.We don’t have all the details, but we know that CRKT improved their assisted opening system for 2021. It’s easier to use than their previous system, and one-handed closing is much easier. We think they got it right, and based on the number of assisted openers in this year’s lineup, we guess they think they did too.CRKT Squid AssistedHow do you like your Squid? Holey or Unholey?CRKT is offering two different looks for these assisted opening Squids, but they both stay true to the original (and beloved) design. Both are framelocks with 8Cr14MoV drop point blades and stainless steel handles. Both have ambidextrous thumb studs to help deploy the blade one-handed, and both have removable tip-up pocket clips, but that’s where the similarities end.The CRKT Squid Assisted is slightly larger and features a 2.37″ blade with a bead blast finish. It closes down to 3.59″ and opens up to 5.94″ overall. The stainless steel handles are flat and smooth, beveled only around the very edge for comfort. The steel back spacer with integrated lanyard hole rounds out this handle nicely.The CRKT Squid Holey is slightly smaller and features a 2.25″ blade with a stonewash finish. It’s .1″ thick. It closes down to 3.49″ and opens up to 5.69″ overall. The “Holey” gets its name from the milled holes in the stainless steel front handle scale. It not only looks good, it cuts overall weight on this small EDC.CRKT Squid Assisted Details2.37″ 8Cr14MoV Drop Point BladeBead Blasted Finish.11″ ThickDual Thumb StudsAssisted OpeningFramelockStainless Steel HandlesRemovable Tip-up Pocket ClipLanyard Hole3.59″ Closed5.94″ OverallWeighs 3.7oz.CRKT Squid AssistCRKT Squid Holey Details2.25″ 8Cr14MoV Drop Point BladeStonewash Finish.10″ ThickDual Thumb StudsAssisted OpeningFramelockMilled Stainless Steel HandlesRemovable Tip-up Pocket ClipLanyard Hole3.49″ Closed5.69″ OverallWeighs 3.4oz.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

The Viper Belone is slim, sleek, and elegant

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
The Viper Belone is like you took a typically curvy Voxnaes design, stretched it out a bit, and then put it on a diet. The result is a slim, sleek cutting tool that’s as totally elegant as it is efficient. Viper tells us, “The Danish designer Jesper Voxnaes started from lines typical of the Italian regional tradition to design the Belone: perfectly reworked according to modern and minimalist style, which made him famous in all over the world. The result is a light and tapered folding knife, embellished with refined details, such as the holes in the back of the handle.”Viper BeloneWe tried to nail down the traditional patterns that influenced the look of this knife a bit. We can see some hints of the Pattada in the lines, perhaps some Maresciall, and maybe a touch of Navaja maybe? Since we’re by no means old Italian knife pattern experts, we quickly gave up guessing. What it truly boils down to is – this knife all Vox.The Belone has a fat 3.3” M390 clip point blade with a ton of belly for a long slice. It has a blade thickness of 0.12” and it’s hardened to a 60-61 HRC. Riding on a thrust ball bearing pivot, this manual flipper is beautifully balanced for a fast, easy action. It has a discreet flipper tab which not only helps keep the lines of this knife clean, but it also is one less thing to snag on your pocket.Viper BeloneWith a handle thickness of about 0.44”, it’s a slim knife that practically disappears in your pocket. It’s a linerlock with a plain stonewash finished, bronze anodized, or a blue anodized titanium frame. Additionally, those three models also are available with a carbon fiber overlay with the stonewash, blue or bronze anodized liners. The matching backspacer and the tip-up pocket clip are titanium. It’s 4.575” closed and weighs 3.1 ounces.Viper Belone DetailsBohler M390, Satin Finish3.3” Clip PointViper Belone0.12” Blade Thickness60-61 HRCManual Flipper, Thrust Ball Bearing PivotTitanium HandlesCarbon Fiber Overlay, Select Models0.44” Handle ThicknessTitanium Tip-Up Pocket Clip3.1oz.4.57” Closed7.87” OverallMade in Maniago, Italy The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Vox says CRKT Ibi pronounced Ee-bee

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
As Horatio says in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “There’s something rotten in Denmark.” It’s the pronunciation of the names of new CRKT knives. Take for example the sleek new Vox-designed CRKT Ibi. My East Tennessee brain tells me that’s “ih-bee”, but it’s not. According to famed Danish knife designer, Jesper Voxnaes, it’s “ee-bee”. See what I mean?The CRKT Ibi is as different as it’s Danish name. It’s sleek, slender and even has a copper finger ring, but you’d never mistake it for a Karambit. CRKT says it’s what happens, “When your EDC thinks it’s a kubaton.”CRKT IbiThe CRKT Ibi features a 2.7″ D2 sheepsfoot blade with a black stonewash finish. Except this sheepsfoot is .15″ thick and is upswept if you squint your eyes and look at it really hard. That’s because unlike a standard sheepsfoot that has a straight belly, this one has a long curved belly that round outs the long, loose S-shape formed when the Ibi is fully open.It’s also a manual flipper with the IKBS Ball Bearing System. The handles are grippy, black G-10 on this liner lock, and there’s a copper finger ring at the butt of the knife. In fact when it’s closed and dangled by the finger ring, this thing reminds me of a Marlin (minus the sail and the sword) hung up to be weighed on the docks.CRKT IbiIt’s 4.8″ closed (including the ring) and 7.5″ overall, and the ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip allows just the ring to ride above the pocket line. The blade all but disappears into the handle when it’s closed, making a very slim, light pocket carry at just 2.8oz.CRKT Ibi Details2.7″ D2 Modified Sheepsfoot BladeBlack Stonewash Finish.11″ Thick Manual FlipperIKBS Ball Bearing PivotLiner LockBlack G-10 HandlesCopper Finger RingAmbidextrous Tip-up Pocket Clip4.8″ Closed7.5″ OverallWeighs 2.8oz.The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Boker Magnum Knivgar not your standard Scandinavian Sami

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
There’s a lot of these great little inexpensive Scandinavian Sami style knives on the market. We’ve covered Morakniv and Marttiini quite a bit, and we’ve even tracked the new Condor Bushglider. This is most definitely a popular style of camp knife, but the Boker Magnum Knivgar isn’t your standard Scandinavian Sami. It’s got a surprise in the handle that will come in handy.The Boker Magnum Knivgar features a 4″ unbreakable 420A stainless steel drop point blade with a satin finish. It’s .125″ thick and sharp as hell right out of the box. That’s not groundbreaking.Boker Magnum KnivgarThe handle is “indestructible” polymer, and that’s not groundbreaking either. But, the Knivgar has a cylindrical, cleated hammer built into the pommel of the knife. According to Boker, “The indestructible signal-colored handle is inseparably connected to the blade by injection molding, as is the practical hammer and chisel surface on the pommel.”What does this mean for your camp knife? It means you have a virtually indestructible camp knife with a hammer built right into it, and that greatly expands the tasks you can handle with a very light camp knife.Boker Magnum KnivgarThe Knivgar is 8.9″ overall and weighs in at a miniscule 3.6oz. With the simple polymer belt sheath, that means you’re not even going to notice this knife on your hip or in your pack.Boker Magnum Knivgar Details4″ unbreakable 420A stainless steel Drop PointSatin Finish.125″ ThickPolymer HandleHammer Pommel Tool8.9″ OverallPolymer Sheath The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

It doesn't get much better than the Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
If you’re looking for an American-made, no-nonsense traditional pocket knife, it doesn’t get much better than the Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler. This small, but mighty pattern tends to sell out more quickly than other patterns, so don’t wait around on this one. If you want it, get it now.Case American Workman Seahorse WhittlerThe Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler is a three-blade pattern with red synthetic handles and high-polish nickel silver bolsters. It has a Case Stars and Stripes shield that’s nickel silver with red, white and blue injection to create a US flag background behind the Case mark.There are three blades and two springs on the Seahorse Whittler, and all three of them are Tru-sharp steel with what Case calls its “As Ground” finish (looks like heavy brushed satin to us). The knife’s main blade is a thick Wharncliffe blade that is supported by both back springs. At the other end of the knife, you’ll find a small coping blade and a small pen blade, each resting on its own back spring.When all three blades of are partially open, this knife really does resemble a seahorse, especially when you put the hande in the vertical position with the Wharncliffe a the top. It’s 4″ closed, weighs 2.6oz, and made in the USA.Case American Workman Seahorse Whittler DetailsTru-Sharp Steel blades with an “As Ground” FinishSplit Back Whitter with a Wharncliffe Main and Small Coping and Pen BladesRed Synthetic HandlesBrass Pins and LinersNickel Silver BolstersNickel Silver and Color Case Stars and Stripes Shield4″ ClosedWeighs 2.6oz.Made in the USAThe article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal:https ://knifeglobal.com

Black and Red SOG Trident AT a stylish tool for lots of situations

Knife Global.Jul 01, 2021
while now. The SOG Trident AT is the latest iteration of that popular knife. This one uses SOG’s Assisted Technology and XR locking/opening system, and it looks amazing with its black finish and red highlights.SOG says the Trident is made for professionals to handle any situation. “The knife is a first responder’s dream, providing many of the tools you might need at common incidents,” SOG tells us. They also say the “Trident AT is a modern update based on the feedback from professional users, made to hold up in the harshest conditions, balancing purposeful design with heavy-duty performance and reliability… [the] Trident AT fast open is only matched by its ability to support emergency rescue in critical situations.”The SOG Trident AT features a 3.7″ Cryo D2 clip point blade with a black titanium nitride coated finish. This dual thumb stud opener is .12″ thick and uses SOG’s AT or a “Assisted Technology” to open quickly and easily. You can open this knife with either the thumb studs or by pulling back on the AT-XR lock. The handle houses a simple-to-operate, ambidextrous safety switch that can be activated or deactivated with your thumb.SOG Trident ATAbout the Cryo D2 steel in the blade, SOG says it’s a “…versatile high-carbon tool steel that is cryogenically heat-treated to SOG’s unique performance specifications. D2 provides the ideal combination of edge retention and durability for long term use with ease of maintenance.”This XR lock (like the AXIS lock) has textured black, glass reinforced nylon handles that are easy to grip. When the knife is closed, there’s a slot in the handle that allows you to use the knife blade as a seatbelt or line cutter. There’s also a glass breaker and a cleated metal lanyard loop in the butt of the knife, as well as an ambidextrous deep-carry, tip-up pocket clip.Everything is black on the SOG Trident AT except the thumb studs, the XR lock, and the little dot on the safety switch.
