Böker Plus - Urban Trapper Petite 42 by Brad Zinker (01BO785) knife

Urban Trapper Petite 42 is a folder with an original design, made of very good materials while maintaining an attractive price. Zaprojected by American knifemaker specializing in handmade custom knives Brad Zinker, member The Knifemakers Guild. The Urban Trapper 42 Folder is an ideal compact E.D.C. It features a smooth, dynamic action of the blade-opening mechanism, a clip point utility blade, a deep carry clip, and extremely light weight (30g).

Head - type clip point finished with Polished of excellent, japanese steel VG-10. The expansive belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife in combination with a the high, concave grind (Hollow Grind) gives almost razor-level cutting properties. The blade is set on ball bearings supporting the work of the opening mechanism, so that you can efficiently unfold the folder with the help of a milled recess in the head (Nail Nick). The whole is locked with the proven lock frame lock.

VG-10 - japanese stainless steel manufactured by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd. This steel maintains a great compromise between long sharpness retention and easy sharpening. High resistance to cracking and chipping. Hardened usually in the range of 59-63 HRC. By a very restrictive export policy, virtually all knives (or their heads) made of this steel must be manufactured in Japan.

Handle - beveled facings of titanium with Brad Zinker's signature designs with holes all over the handle surface. To stiffen the structure bolted with spacer sleeves so we get a distinctive design Open Spaced. Simple, sturdy design provides assurance of many years of use. Onepositional clip right side metal type deep carry allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up (blade tip up). This design and the use of excellent materials resulted in an extremely low overall weight.
