Product Description
The Boker Plus Wasabi is a sophisticated fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern EDC engineering, designed by the master bladesmith Kansei Matsuno. Embodying the "Neo-Japanese" style, this folder is a premier choice for the modern gentleman who values a slender, lightweight construction that doesn't sacrifice cutting performance. Its minimalist profile and organic materials make it an elegant "disappearing" pocket carry that transitions perfectly from the office to an evening out.
The 2.83" straight back blade is crafted from 440C stainless steel, a time-tested alloy known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. The blade features a clean satin finish and operates on a ball-bearing pivot system, allowing for a smooth, controlled deployment via the integrated front flipper. Designed as a high-end slipjoint, the blade is held in the open position by a precision-engineered detent ball mechanism rather than a mechanical lock, making it a legal-friendly option in many restrictive locales while providing a secure feel during use. The handle features warm, exclusive Cocobolo wood scales over stainless steel liners, offering a classic, premium aesthetic and a comfortable, organic feel in the hand.
