Boker Plus Kaizen Satin D2 Black G10 Liner Lock Flipper 01BO390

The Japanese term "Kaizen" consists of the syllables Kai (change, transformation) and Zen (for the better) describing a continuous striving for improvement. The Boker Plus Kaizen takes these principles and attempts to make them material in this slim and modestly aesthetic design that resembles the classic higonokami. A minimalist flipper deploys the satin finished, D2 tool steel blade for fast access to handle everyday cutting tasks with enduring calm stability thanks to the ever-reliable liner lock. A decorative pivot screw and straight lanyard hole pommel frame textured G10 handle scales describe the changing boundaries of form and function.

Brand new, direct from Boker Knives.

Blade: A long, slim blade of satin finished D2 tool steel provides a utilitarian cutting tool with plenty of style. A minimalist flipper deploys the blade while a high saber grind and long spine swedge deliver solid slicing and piercing performance to handle the task at hand.

Handle: Framed by a decorative pivot at one end and stainless steel lanyard hole pommel at the other textured black G10 scales ride atop sturdy liners in this slim, minimalist design. Secure in the hand, the knife has a liner lock mechanism that is reliable and easy to use for safe use.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, stainless steel deep carry clip.

D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. With a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) D2 offers greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels. With a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance D2 is a well-balanced, all around knife steel.
