Boker Mini Kalashnikov Drop Point Grey Aluminum D2 Black Partially Serrated Automatic Knife (2.52" Blade) 01BP0148

This Boker Mini Kalashnikov is a compact push-button automatic with a partially serrated black-coated D2 drop point and grey aluminum scales. It is built for boxes, tape and packaging.

• Black-Coated D2 Drop Point Blade - D2 is a mid-grade tool steel known for edge retention. The flat grind keeps this drop point thin behind the edge, and serrations toward the handle saw through tape and banding. D2 is not fully stainless, so keep it dry and oiled.
• Grooved Grey Aluminum Handle - The grey aluminum scales are subtly textured, with black hardware. The structured grooves lock the grip rather than relying on friction. Three fingers land on the handle and the pinky wraps under the end, so it favors a medium hand.
• Push-Button Fire & Button Lock - One button does both jobs. A press fires the blade hard into the open position, where the lock holds it solid. A second press releases the lock, and the blade folds shut against the spring until it latches.
• Deep-Carry Clip & Lanyard Hole - The clip is fixed to the right scale, tip-up. The knife rides alongside keys and a phone without crowding a front pocket. A lanyard hole through the rear of the handle takes a cord or a fob.

The Boker Mini Kalashnikov

The Boker Mini Kalashnikov belongs to the only knife line in the world licensed to bear the Kalashnikov name, a license Boker has held since 2003. Mikhail Kalashnikov granted it on one condition, that the knives hold to his own working maxim of simple construction and reliable handling. The platform keeps to that in the hardware, where one button both fires the blade and frees the lock, and the aluminum scales are grooved to set the grip. Boker added the Mini after buyers asked for a compact version of the full-size 74, and it lands with the person who wants a smaller working switchblade riding in their front pocket.
