Top 10 production knives of 2009 – Boker Haddock

The Boker haddock is a near perfect licensed copy of the original custom knife by Jens Anso, an extremely talented knife maker & designer from Denmark.

it features that beautiful Warncliff style of blade which seems to blend seamlessly within the handles to provide a really striking and perfectly usable organic design.

I view it as a really perfect edc folder and although its not designed to be opened with one hand I cant stop liking it for what it is- a great harduse folder for the outdoors and the kitchen!

The blade is great 5mm slab of N690BO steel which in my experience has a similar level of toughness and edge holding capabilities of the fantastic Japanese steel, VG10.

The first production run was marred by reports of bad grinds and finish but hopefully those problems will be fixed and the Boker warranty is more than acceptable so I am not worried and those reports wont stop me from purchasing this knife with a smile on my face!

 

Basically;

• Designed by Jens Anso!
• Ti Framelock!
• Good warranty!
• Great organic design!
• Sheeple Friendly!

 

If it wasn’t for the nail nick and the reports of bad grind job it would have been far higher on my list, sort it out Boker!

 

A+
