The Boker Kalashnikov 01KALS100 combines tactical functionality with reliable everyday carry performance in a spring-assisted folding knife. This drop point blade design delivers consistent cutting power across multiple applications while maintaining the compact profile needed for pocket carry.
What Makes This Different
The D2 tool steel construction provides superior edge retention compared to standard stainless steel options, maintaining sharpness through extended use cycles. The combination plain and serrated edge maximizes cutting versatility, handling both precision slicing and aggressive material penetration. Black coating reduces glare and provides additional corrosion resistance beyond the steel's natural properties.
