Böker Kalashnikov Button Lock Manual Flipper Pocket Knife, D2 Steel Blade and Black Aluminum Handle, EDC Knife (Black)

I ment to buy the open assist version, still a great work knife.

Good solid knife, this is not the automatic knife version. No wiggle, sharp blade, stiff on first day but quickly becomes slick. Black finish on aluminum will wear from pocket carry. I like the look. The packaging box is very cool too.

Not assisted but it is button open and closure and with a bit of momentum it might aswell be. Super easy and quick to deploy. The grips arent the best but work fine, made in taiwan so the steel isnt bad quality

This brand came highly recommended to me, but I must say I just don't feel like it lived up to the hype. Definitely not 5-star worthy. Mostly known, I think, for their automatic knives which is just not an option for me in California. The pivot action isn't great. The knife will not deploy completely with just a light-switch flick of the flipper tab, it requires an extra wrist flip to get it fully deployed. The button lock mechanism is also less than perfect as you really have to press it deep into the scale of the handle for it to unlock. The blade itself is nice, and sharp out of the box. The handle feels good in the grip, and it is decently sized. I don't think the price was horrible, but for all its short-comings I would prefer it be a sub-$50 knife.

Look, quality and feel are exceptional. Many thanks to my friend who recommended.

Button didn’t work, won’t open, however I’ve had 5 or 6 of these that worked perfectly

great knife

I’ve had my Böker Kalashnikov 74 (desert tan blade/handle) for 17 years as my daily carry blade and can say with full confidence it’s the best purchase I’ve made. I’ve went as far as gifting the brand/model in different colors to friends/family and we all love the brand. Great product and extremely durable.
