The Boker 110844 Traditional Pen Knife delivers classic German craftsmanship with modern D2 tool steel performance. This compact folding knife features dual pen and spear point blades that lock securely for precision cutting tasks and everyday carry reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced pocket knives with inferior steel, this Boker uses premium D2 tool steel that holds an edge significantly longer than standard stainless options. The smooth red bone handle scales provide superior grip texture compared to synthetic materials while maintaining the traditional aesthetic collectors demand. German manufacturing ensures consistent heat treatment and blade geometry that budget alternatives cannot match.
Key Features
- D2 tool steel blades with superior edge retention and corrosion resistance
- Dual blade configuration: pen point for detail work, spear point for general cutting
- Genuine red bone handle scales with smooth finish and natural grain patterns
- Traditional slip joint mechanism with positive blade retention
- Compact 3.5-inch closed length fits comfortably in pocket or pouch
- Nickel silver bolsters and shield provide durability and classic appearance

Field performance reflects the quality materials and construction methods. The D2 steel maintains sharpness through extended use on rope, cardboard, and wood without frequent resharpening. Both blade profiles handle their intended tasks effectively - the pen point excels at precise cuts while the spear point manages general utility work. The bone handles resist moisture and temperature changes better than many synthetic alternatives.
