Product Description
The Boker Applegate-Fairbairn Black is a tactical legend, proven by elite special forces across the globe. Designed by Colonel Rex Applegate and inspired by the historic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger of World War II, this knife represents the pinnacle of combat knife evolution. Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, it is the official combat knife of several international special operations units who value its low-profile, non-reflective profile and perfect balance.
The 5.91" 440C stainless steel blade is double-edged and finished with a high-durability black titanium-aluminum-nitride coating to prevent glare and resist corrosion. Its handle is a marvel of tactical engineering—crafted from fiberglass-reinforced Delrin, it features integrated stainless steel weights that shift the balance point toward the hand for lightning-fast maneuverability. A solid brass crossguard provides essential hand protection and control during high-intensity use.
