Boker Plus Kalashnikov AKS-74 Push-Button Automatic Knife - 3.25" D2 Tool Steel Desert Coated Partially Serrated Drop Point Blade - Desert Tan Anodized Aluminum Handles (01BP0155)
Overview & Heritage: The Boker Plus Kalashnikov Automatic (01BP0155) is an iconic tactical switchblade inspired by the structural contours and rugged reliability of the world-famous Mikhail Kalashnikov rifle family. Headquartered in Solingen, Germany, Boker has engineered the Kalashnikov series to stand as one of the most trusted, dependable, and field-proven push-button automatics in the industry. Styled in a full Desert Tan finish, this edition pairs high-wear D2 tool steel with structural aluminum handle scales and aggressive blade serrations, providing military personnel, outdoor survivalists, and everyday carry users an explosive, hard-hitting automatic folder built for severe cutting utility in arid environments.
Blade & Performance: Outfitted with a versatile 3.25-inch drop point blade forged from high-carbon D2 tool steel, the 01BP0155 delivers exceptional edge longevity, high compressive strength, and formidable slicing force. The blade features a versatile partially serrated edge geometry that makes short work of tough synthetic webbing, fibrous cordage, heavy rope, and thick cardboard. Treated with a protective non-reflective Desert Tan coating, the steel is shielded against environmental moisture and harsh glare. Fired instantaneously via Boker's powerful internal coil spring mechanism, the blade locks up with absolute authority for immediate field readiness.
Handle, Lock & Ergonomics: The handle scales are precision-milled from lightweight, high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum finished in a matching Desert Tan anodization. Featuring deep finger choils and vertical grip ridges modeled directly after the handguard ergonomics of the AKS-74 rifle, the handle delivers an unshakeable, slip-resistant grip in wet, dusty, or gloved hands. Powered by a flush-mounted push-button lock mechanism, the knife fires with hard-hitting action and solid structural safety. Complete with a tip-up deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard pass-through port, 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 Desert Tan blade coating by wiping the steel clean and drying it thoroughly after field use. Apply a light protective coat of synthetic oil along the cutting edges before long-term storage. Keep the push-button spring mechanism operating at peak speed by periodically clearing dust and pocket lint using compressed air, followed by a single drop of high-grade synthetic pivot lubricant inside the pivot channel.
