Boker Plus Obscura Satin Scimitar Blade Black G10 Liner Lock Flipper 01BO243

The Boker Plus Obscura takes its inspiration from the curved blades of the Saracen sword commonly known as a Scimitar. Classically inspired, the Obscura has a decidedly modern construction with ball bearing pivot flipper deployment, a stainless steel blade and stainless liner lock foundation with concave G10 handle scales. Visually appealing, the design is simple and lightweight for everyday carry and performance. This version comes with a satin finished 9Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and black G10 handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Boker Knives.

Blade: Sporting a fine satin finish, the stainless steel scimitar blade has a high saber grind for solid durability and balanced slicing with a clip point swedge for enhanced piercing performance. Riding on a ball bearing pivot system, the blade deploys fast and smooth via the index flipper tab which has been milled for weight reduction. The flipper forms and integral index guard, paring with the ergonomic handle design for security in the hand.

Handle: Dual black G10 scales are supported by dual, proud stainless steel liners for a more contoured feel in the hand with no added weight. One liner forms the robust and reliable liner lock mechanism which offers secure operation with jimping for decisive operation. The concave scales offer a classy look and comfortable feel in the hand. A single barrel spacer rounds out the construction and allows for inline lanyard attachment.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up only, stainless steel, pocket clip.

9Cr13MoV: Similar to Japanese AUS-10, 9Cr13MoV is a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel with an excellent balance of toughness and strength. It offers good corrosion resistance and is capable of acquiring a razor sharp edge. Edge holding is significantly lower than S30V but similar to 440C but with slightly less corrosion resistance. Sharpening should be a breeze.
