The Boker Plus Kihon DC, designed by American custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley, captures the essence of the Japanese concept of Kihon, which emphasizes fundamental techniques in martial arts. This knife combines straightforward design with high practicality, making it an ideal choice for everyday cutting tasks while offering excellent value. Its drop-point blade, made from D2 steel with a sleek black ti-coated finish, opens effortlessly using removable thumb studs on both sides, enhanced by smooth ball bearings. The crossbar lock ensures intuitive and secure unlocking. The non-slip handle, crafted from glass fiber-reinforced nylon with a textured square pattern, provides a comfortable grip. The all-black color scheme lends the Kihon a subtle elegance, while the 2.0 versions feature a 15% weight reduction, making them suitable as lightweight, full-size EDC knives. Complete with a lanyard hole and a convertible tip-up wire clip, it offers versatile carrying options.
