The Boker 110835 Trapper delivers traditional two-blade functionality with modern D2 tool steel performance for hunters, collectors, and everyday carry enthusiasts. This classic slip-joint folder combines time-tested design with premium materials that outperform standard carbon steel alternatives.
What Makes This Different
The D2 tool steel construction provides superior edge retention compared to traditional 1084 or 440C steels commonly found in similar price ranges. D2's high carbon content and chromium additions create a blade that holds its edge 2-3 times longer than conventional pocket knife steels. The smooth yellow bone handle scales offer natural grip texture and visual appeal that synthetic materials cannot match.
Key Features
- D2 tool steel blades with 60-62 HRC hardness for extended edge retention
- Clip point primary blade measures 3.25 inches with fine point control
- Spey blade secondary edge ideal for skinning and detailed cutting tasks
- Smooth yellow bone handle scales provide natural grip and classic appearance
- Traditional slip-joint mechanism with half-stop safety positions
- Nickel silver bolsters and brass pins for corrosion resistance
- Overall length of 4.125 inches when closed for pocket-friendly carry
Field testing confirms reliable blade lockup in both open positions with smooth one-handed operation once properly broken in. The clip point excels at precision cutting tasks while the spey blade handles skinning applications and food preparation effectively. Both blades maintain sharp edges through extended use cycles without frequent resharpening requirements typical of softer steels.
