The Boker 01BO921 FRND delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3.35-inch D2 tool steel blade and ergonomic Grivory handle construction. This fixed blade knife combines German engineering precision with practical field-ready design for demanding cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The D2 tool steel blade maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel alternatives, with hardness ratings typically between 58-62 HRC. The Grivory handle material provides superior grip retention in wet conditions while remaining lightweight at approximately 30% less weight than comparable G10 scales. German manufacturing standards ensure consistent blade geometry and heat treatment processes.
Key Features
- 3.35-inch D2 tool steel blade with superior edge retention
- Lightweight Grivory handle construction for reduced carry weight
- Full tang construction for maximum blade-to-handle strength
