Boker Plus Fire Ant Flipper Knife
Boker Plus Fire Ant (01BP0026) 2.90" 1.4116 Satin Drop Point Plain Blade, Black Polypropylene Handle, Flipper
The Boker Plus Fire Ant Flipper Knife is a remarkable tool that draws inspiration from the industrious and tenacious fire ant. Known for their hard work and painful stings, fire ants serve as a fitting muse for a knife designed to handle everyday cutting tasks with ease and efficiency.
Blade and Mechanism
Drop Point Blade
The knife features a drop point blade made from corrosion-resistant 1.4116 blade steel. This ensures both durability and sharpness, making it suitable for a variety of cutting needs. The blade is finished with a toxic stonewash, adding an edgy and rugged appearance while also enhancing its resistance to wear and tear.
Flipper Activation
True to its name, the Fire Ant's bite is unleashed when the flipper is activated. This mechanism allows for quick and easy blade deployment, ensuring that the knife is ready to tackle any task at a moment’s notice.
Double Detent Ball Mechanism
To keep the knife securely open, it employs a double detent ball mechanism. Two balls inside the liner press against the opened blade, providing a secure lock. Closing the knife is just as simple, requiring only the overcoming of the clamping resistance.
Handle and Design
Textured Handle Scales
The handle scales are constructed from textured black polypropylene, offering an excellent grip to ensure safe and precise handling. This texture is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, complementing the overall design of the knife.
Fire-Red Backspacers
Adding a touch of flair, the handle includes fire-red backspacers that also serve a stabilizing function. These details nod to the knife's fire ant inspiration and provide structural integrity to the handle.
