Böker Plus Farkas Bushcraft kés 02BO065

The knife, together with the sheath, comes in a nice looking black box giving an impression of high-end tool. Out of the box, the knife seems really sturdy with some modern bushcraft/survival - and a bit of tactical - flavoring. Indeed, the knife is capable to do wide range of heavy-duty outdoor tasks. The sheath, however, is not with the quality corresponding to that type of knife and, my feeling on it is that, it will wear out fast. For instance, a kydex sheath would be much more adequate to the knife. The fit and finish of the knife itself are good. The dark stone-wash finish is really lovely. The primary grind of the blade is flat which shifts into convex one towards the cutting edge (like on the Fallkniven) and ends with secondary v-edge. I removed the latter since my personal preference (in a view of both performance and maintenance) is for continuous convex shape without any micro-bevel. The blade tapers continuously towards the tip which, due to the convexing, is fine but with enough strength. One peculiarity of the primary grind is the presence of ricasso with arch-shape plunge line (the non grind region which starts from the sharpening choil and ends at the spine at 2.5 cm from the handle). Not sure, whether this is more of an aesthetics than functionality (e.g. at batoning). The D2 blade steel (a high-end semi-stainless tool-steel) performs excellent: superb edge retention, fairly easy to sharpen and (due to the thick blade and convex grind) no chipping issues. The thumb-jumping on the spine are comfortable and those on the tang (and the scales as well) in the vicinity of the lanyard hole are very handy when extracting the knife from the sheath. G10-scales are shortened at about 0.5 mm away from the tang for additional protection at a hit. The handle is secure, but not very convenient to hold despite of it ergonomic appearance. At least not in my hands. I think this is more of a design issue than lack of quality control. In fact, the scales have very sharp corners (which are easy to round with sandpaper). But foremost, they are too thin in the first half of the handle (where the index, middle and ring fingers are usually placed), which produces annoying hot spots. Perhaps, wearing gloves will suppress this issue, but will not solve the problem. Therefore, I would give 4 of 5 stars to this knife. Regardless, thank Lamnia for the perfect service and for providing wide range of high quality products.

Hyvä esiteroitus! En ole sen kummemmin päässyt vielä testailemaan, mutta kiehisten teko ja puitten halkominen onnistuu erittäin luontevasti. Painonsa suhteen veitsi on omaan mieleen ja tuntuu erittäin hyvältä yleisveitseltä.

X il prezzo che costa è veramente un ottimo coltello. Molto robusto e comodo in mano. Unico neo il fodero, non di buona qualità: se avesse avuto un fodero in kydex sarebbe stato davvero un best buy!
