Product Description

The Boker Plus Kihon Compact is a masterclass in straightforward practicality, designed by renowned American custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley. Embodying the Japanese concept of Kihon—the basics and fundamentals—this folder features a 2.8-inch spearpoint blade crafted from hard-wearing D2 tool steel. The stonewash finish provides a rugged look that masks scratches from daily use, while the ball-bearing pivot ensures the blade opens with silky-smooth precision via the dual thumb studs.

For maximum security and ease of use, the Kihon Compact is equipped with an intuitive crossbar lock, allowing for safe, one-handed operation. The handle is constructed from lightweight and durable GFN (glass-fiber reinforced nylon), featuring Burnley’s characteristic recessed squares for a locked-in grip. Adding a custom touch, orange anodized rings on the pivot and handle screws, along with matching thumb studs, provide a striking contrast against the black handle. Complete with a reversible tip-up wire clip and a lanyard hole, this 2.4 oz folder is a reliable foundation for any cutting task.
