Boker Cocobolo Michael Walker Folder
September 23, 2007
Boker
doesn't need help top bring a noteworthy product to market, but the
collaboration of the Boker brand with noted knife designer Michael Walker has
brought about this gem of a pocket knife. Walker has been in the knife
business for around thirty years and is noted for his innovations in liner lock
design.
This knife, Boker item number 2076, features a 2 7/8" length ATS-34 steel
blade that is a signature Walker and can be opened easily with one hand.
The blade is marked "Walker Design, Boker Solingen, ATS-34 Germany" which
effective reflects the design and engineering behind this particular creation.
The overall knife length is 7" and the weight is 3 3/4" which makes this good
sized every day carry. The handles are made of Cocobolo would which gives
this knife its attractive and gentlemen's feel. The price is also
attractive, as this particular wood handled pocket knife retails for $ 140.00
USD, which is well priced for the size and the association with such a noted
designer.
Boker is a well esteemed brand, and collaborations with knife designers and
creators like this only enhance their reputation. Kudos go to both Walker
and Boker for creating a folder of considerable quality that is also affordable.
