Boker Plus Kalashnikov AKS-74 Push-Button Automatic Knife - 3.25" D2 Tool Steel Black Coated Drop Point Blade - Black Anodized Aluminum Handles (01KALS99)
Overview & Heritage: The Boker Plus Kalashnikov AKS-74 Automatic (01KALS99) is an iconic, time-tested automatic folding knife inspired by the legendary assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Headquartered in Solingen, Germany, Boker has engineered the Kalashnikov series to stand as one of the most popular, dependable, and budget-friendly tactical push-button automatics in the world. Modeled after the distinctive bayonet structural contours and structural ergonomics of the AKS-74 rifle, this blackout edition pairs high-wear D2 tool steel with structural aluminum handle scales, giving tactical operators, military enthusiasts, and everyday carry purists an explosive, hard-hitting automatic folder built for severe daily utility.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a versatile 3.25-inch drop point blade forged from high-carbon D2 tool steel, the 01KALS99 provides exceptional edge longevity, high compressive strength, and impressive slicing power. The blade is treated with a durable non-reflective black finish that shields the steel against environmental moisture while eliminating operational glare. Fired instantaneously via Boker's powerful internal coil spring mechanism, its full-flat ground plain edge excels at high-speed utility slicing, heavy cordage cutting, package scoring, and tactical field chores.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are precision-milled from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum finished in a dark Black anodization. Featuring deep finger choils and vertical grip ridges modeled directly after the handguard of the AKS-74 rifle, the handle delivers an unshakeable, slip-resistant grip in wet, muddy, or gloved hands. Powered by a flush-mounted push-button lock mechanism, the blade fires with hard-hitting action and locks up with rock-solid reliability. Complete with a tip-up deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard hole, the Kalashnikov sits low and discreetly in pocket for rapid deployment.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
D2 is a popular high-wear tool steel celebrated for outstanding edge retention and impact toughness. Maintain the protective black blade coating by wiping the steel clean and drying it thoroughly after field use. Apply a light protective coat of synthetic oil along the plain cutting edge before long-term storage. Keep the push-button spring mechanism operating at peak speed by periodically clearing pocket lint using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant inside the pivot well.
