BK-1

The Boker Arbolito BK-1 (Bushcraft Knife No. 1) is a heavy duty bushcraft knife in the style of modern pilot survival knives par excellence.

The wide drop-point blade has an optimal length of 10.3 cm and a medium to high grind for maximum stability. This stability is further ensured by the uncompromising choice of Böhler N690 steel. The tang is continuous and protrudes a few millimetres from the end of the handle. This ensures maximum stability. TPE - thermoplastic elastomer - was chosen as the handle material. The material completely encloses the tang and has a classic checkering for optimal grip. TPE is resistant, elastic, non-slip and has low heat conductivity. The knife therefore lies securely in the hand in all weather and working conditions and does not draw the power out of the fingers in wet and cold conditions. The recessed lanyard hole is additionally set with a stainless steel sleeve. A quiver leather sheath is included - the supreme discipline in sheath construction - with a deep and firm fit for the knife. The knife is thus protected in the best possible way against both loss and damage when carried, without requiring a damage-prone lock that makes quick access difficult. The riveted dangler opens up additional carrying options. In addition, the sheath is equipped with a wide leather loop, firmly integrated into the welting, which provides space to accommodate a fire starter / metal match (9.3mm) (not included in the scope of delivery).

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
