Boker Falun (02RY100)

Inexpensive fishing knife

The German fishing knife Boker Falun from the Magnum collection is an inexpensive Scandinavian-style fixed knife that will serve as a "workhorse" on the coasts of rivers and lakes, as well as adjacent deciduous and coniferous forests. The model weighing 64 g is a lighter version of the more solid knife for hunting and tourism Boker Magnum Knivgar SAR. Not very wide blade with a thickness of 1.9 mm, just like that of the "big brother" is made of 420 stainless steel with a hardness of 54 on the Rockwell scale. The length of the blade with concave slopes and smooth sharpening is 100 mm. Unfortunately, the practice of using a knife revealed problems with factory sharpening — the blade does not cut well, especially wood. It is quite obvious that without the appropriate fine-tuning, the blade is of little use for effective work.

Rubberized handle

The 115 mm long handle is made of durable synthetic plastic and has a thickening in the middle. The guard and “tail” are painted orange, and the main part of the handle is covered with a non-slip layer of black rubber plastic with a relief pattern. Included with the knife are a sheath-case made of bright orange plastic, where the tool is inserted without any fixing latch and is held only by tight grinding. The scabbard has a rather short molded clip for wearing on a belt. The low cost of this model is associated with production in China, where the company makes low-cost series products. However, this model also comes with a 150-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
