High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Boker Applegate-Fairbairn Boot Knife carries the legacy of two legendary combat knife designers into a modern, field-ready form. Based on the original concept developed by Colonel Rex Applegate and W\.E. Fairbairn, this double-edged fixed blade is built for professionals who demand reliability in close-quarters applications. The 4.75-inch dagger-style blade is crafted from high-performance 440C stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and devastating piercing capability. A symmetrical grind and precision taper make this knife lethal in either hand and from either edge.
The handle is made from durable black fiberglass-reinforced Delrin, shaped for secure control in wet or high-stress conditions. A brass cross guard adds both functionality and classic military style, giving your hand a firm stopping point when driving the blade forward. Full tang construction ensures structural strength, while the slim profile and lightweight build make it an ideal option for discreet carry. The knife comes with a robust black leather sheath with a secure snap and vertical belt loop for reliable retention and fast access when seconds count.
This knife isn't about flash—it's about performance, history, and hard-earned trust in a design that’s been proven for decades. Whether you're adding to a collection or preparing for field duty, the Applegate-Fairbairn Boot Knife delivers.
