BOKER Applegate A-F 12B Pocket Knife
Boker's reissue of the Applegate-Fairbairn Fighting Knife has a reinforced Delrin handle, thickened in the center for a sure grip. A lanyard hole adds convenience. The handle meets a short, forward-bending black cross-guard that protects the fingers. Boker achieved the knife's preferred rearward balance by inserting steel weights into the handle - a beautifully ergonomic design. The 6-Inch blade on this 10 3/4-Inch knife has effective reach, with a 1-Inch wide blade that's beefy all the way to the tip. With a Rockwell hardness of 58, the blade has the signatures of Rex Applegate and W.E. Fairbairn etched into the bead-blasted finish.
