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 high-tech 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 lightweight carbon fiber scales over stainless steel liners, offering a high-tech, premium aesthetic and an incredible strength-to-weight ratio.
