Boker Knife with Unique Pocket Clip

September 23, 2007

Today we take a look back at an award winning design from a few years back; a knife that solved a problem that knife users had faced for years.

I am a big fan of the show "The Big Idea" on CNBC, which on many occasions present inventors and entrepreneurs that have created a product or business starting from a singular thought "there has to be a better way".  That ingenuity is very apparent in this particular designed clip by Robert Voros.  Many of us appreciate the pocket clip on our knife, until we are ready to deploy the blade, then the clip becomes somewhat of a nuisance.  Robert Voyos has a patent pending design that solves this problem with a clip that disappears into the handle until it is completely flush with the outside of the handle, as the blade is opened.

Boker has brought this unique clip mechanism to the market in the form of the Boker Clip Silver (Item No. 110550) and the Boker Clip Black (Item 110560), winning a prestigious German IWA award for innovation in 2005.  The knife features an aluminum, handle and a 3" blade of 440C steel.  With a suggested retail price of $ 147.00, many knife enthusiasts will undoubtedly buy this knife just to play with the unique mechanism.  And the size and price makes this a great everyday carry, so you can play with the clip mechanism everywhere you go.
