MKMMKBLRBT: David C. Andersen Bolero Folder, Red Burlap Micarta - KnifeCenter Exclusive

MKM Knives

Designed by the KnifeCenter’s own David C. Andersen as an evolution of his popular Pocket Tango, the MKM Bolero is a sophisticated EDC folding knife that blends classic outdoor geometry with elite modern materials. This premium pocket knife features a 3 inch Nessmuk blade, a shape traditionally favored for its incredible slicing efficiency and skinning capability, now reimagined for versatile everyday utility. Forged from groundbreaking MagnaCut steel with a 61-63 HRC hardness, the Bolero delivers an industry-leading balance of corrosion resistance, extreme toughness, and long-lasting edge retention. Whether you are tackling heavy-duty cutting tasks or precision slicing, this satin-finished blade offers the reliable performance of a dedicated survival tool in a streamlined, pocket-friendly format.

Ergonomics and accessibility are at the forefront of the Bolero’s design, featuring a robust crossbar lock mechanism for rock-solid security and smooth, ambidextrous deployment. The red burlap Micarta handle provides a warm, high-traction grip that only gets better with use, while the precision-machined scales ensure the knife feels locked into your palm for effortless control. Weighing in at a nimble 2.75 ounces, this Italian-made folder includes a reversible deep carry pocket clip to keep it discreet and secure in any pocket. Produced by the experts at MKM, the Bolero combines rugged Micarta durability with world-class Italian craftsmanship, making it a top-tier tactical EDC choice for serious gear enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Excellent EDC
This is an excellent EDC tool, very expensive yes, but in my opinion it's definitely worth it, I've had it for 2 months now and used it daily and its still as sharp as the day it came it is crazy sharp and very comfortable in my normal size hand, I highly recommend this knife for multiple reasons excellent blade material excellent deep carry pocket clip very good handle material good and easy deployment very secure lock up when open and closed very ergonomic and comfortable when using very versatile blade shape, I think the only con about this knife is the price but it is worth it

Great
Great combo of DCA design and Italian knife making! Using it for EDC. It came scalpel sharp. Great fit in the hand, open or closed. I was surprised by the thinness, but the balance is perfect so I didn't think I would ask for a thicker handle.
