Understanding the Boker Plus Kihon

Designed by Lucas Burnley with a Japanese inspired aesthetic, the Boker Plus Kihon series balances a robust, full size feel with refined details like ball bearing pivots and versatile locking mechanisms. The updated DC 2.0 models specifically prioritize weight reduction through nested liners for a more comfortable daily carry experience.

What makes the Boker Plus Kihon DC 2.0 different from the original?
The Kihon DC 2.0 focuses on weight reduction and material upgrades. By using trimmed, nested liners instead of full length steel liners, the weight is reduced to a more manageable 3.1 ounces while offering premium options like canvas Micarta handles and 14C28N stainless steel for around $50.
What blade steels are available in the Boker Plus Kihon series?
The Boker Plus Kihon series features a range of performance steels depending on the specific model. Options include D2 tool steel, tough 14C28N stainless steel, Nitro-V, and high performance variants utilizing MagnaCut for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Is the Boker Plus Kihon a full size pocket knife?
The Kihon series is designed to feel like a substantial work knife despite its 3.25 inch blade length. The neutral handle shape accommodates various hand sizes, providing a secure grip that feels larger and more capable than typical EDC folders of its size.
How does the locking mechanism work on the Kihon?
The series offers several reliable locking options, most notably the Boker crossbar lock found on the DC models. This mechanism allows for finger safe closing and smooth operation, though the series also includes traditional liner locks and frame locks on select variants.
Is the Boker Plus Kihon ambidextrous?
Many models in the Boker Plus Kihon series are ambidextrous friendly, featuring a reversible wire pocket clip for left or right hand carry. Models equipped with the crossbar lock are especially suitable for left handed users as the lock can be easily operated from either side of the handle.
