Boker Plus Zenshin FAQ

The Boker Plus Zenshin provides a modern take on the traditional Japanese Higonokami, featuring a slim profile and slipjoint construction. This series is designed for those who appreciate a minimalist gentleman’s folder that complies with restrictive carry laws.

Does the Boker Plus Zenshin have a locking blade?
No, the Boker Plus Zenshin is a non-locking slipjoint knife. It is part of Boker's 42 series, which is specifically designed to meet knife laws in regions like Germany where a one-hand opening knife cannot also feature a locking mechanism.
What blade steel is used in the Boker Zenshin series?
The Boker Plus Zenshin series uses 440C stainless steel for its 2.95-inch Wharncliffe blades. This steel offers a good balance of corrosion resistance and edge retention, finished with a clean two-tone aesthetic.
What inspired the design of the Boker Plus Zenshin?
The Boker Plus Zenshin is inspired by the traditional Japanese Higonokami, a classic style of friction folder. Boker updated this heritage design by adding a slipjoint mechanism and using modern handle materials like stonewashed brass or steel.
How do you open the Boker Zenshin without a nail nick?
The Boker Plus Zenshin is designed for easy manual opening with either hand despite the absence of a nail nick or thumb stud. The blade sits high enough in the handle that there is plenty of surface area to grip and pull the blade open.
Does the Boker Plus Zenshin come with a pocket clip?
No, the Zenshin series does not include a pocket clip, keeping the profile as slim and flat as possible. It is intended to be carried deep in the pocket or inside a leather slip for a more traditional gentleman’s carry experience.
