The Boker Kalashnikov 01KALS136 delivers reliable one-handed deployment with its spring-assisted opening mechanism and premium D2 tool steel construction. This tactical folder combines the durability of high-carbon steel with an ergonomic aluminum handle for consistent performance in demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pocket knives, the Kalashnikov series features a robust spring-assist mechanism that ensures rapid blade deployment under stress. The D2 steel blade maintains its edge significantly longer than standard stainless options, with a Rockwell hardness of 60-62 HRC. The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance while reducing glare in tactical situations.
Key Features
- 3.35-inch clip point blade in premium D2 tool steel with black oxide finish
- Spring-assisted opening mechanism with ambidextrous thumb studs
- Black and gray anodized aluminum handle scales for lightweight durability

Field testing demonstrates consistent deployment across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The D2 steel composition resists chipping and rolling while maintaining sharpness through extended cutting tasks. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the reliable opening mechanism that functions with gloved hands. The aluminum construction keeps carry weight to just 3.2 ounces without sacrificing structural integrity.
