The Boker Arbolito Nicker is a classic hunting-inspired fixed blade that feels like it was built for early mornings in the field, clean work at camp, and all the small cutting jobs that separate a good day outdoors from a frustrating one. Rooted in the spirit of the traditional German “Nicker” pattern, this knife captures the slender, nimble look that made the style famous as a go-to choice for bird and trout tasks, while adding thoughtful refinements that make it even more adaptable for modern outdoor use.
In hand, it’s lively and well-balanced. At 7.87" overall with a 3.75" blade, it gives you enough edge for confident slicing and controlled detail work without feeling oversized on your belt. And at 4.20 oz., it carries comfortably—substantial enough to feel trustworthy, yet light enough that it won’t drag you down when you’re moving through brush, along a creek bank, or around camp.
The blade is crafted from T6MoV stainless steel, a practical choice when you’re outdoors and want a blade that’s dependable, low-fuss, and ready for changing conditions. It’s a steel that’s well-suited for real-world utility, offering corrosion resistance and the kind of day-to-day edge performance hunters and anglers can appreciate. The fixed blade construction keeps everything straightforward and strong, giving you that extra confidence when you want a knife that’s always ready without moving parts.
Where this Nicker really stands out is its handle. Rich brown stag scales bring a natural texture and a traditional look that’s hard to beat, especially on a knife with hunting heritage. Stag isn’t just handsome—it offers a secure feel in the hand, even when conditions aren’t perfect. Paired with stainless steel bolsters, the grip feels both classic and refined, with a clean transition from rugged natural material to polished metal. A red fiber underlay adds a subtle modern accent, giving the knife a distinctive pop of color that sets it apart without stealing the spotlight.
It’s also a knife that knows how it’s meant to be carried. The included brown leather sheath is made for belt carry, complete with a belt loop that keeps the knife close and accessible. It’s embossed for a premium finish and built to complement the Nicker’s traditional styling, making the whole package feel complete right out of the box. Whether you’re dressing small game, handling food prep by the fire, or just needing a reliable fixed blade for general camp chores, the sheath-and-knife pairing makes it easy to grab and go.
Made in Argentina under the Boker Arbolito name, this fixed blade brings together heritage design and practical upgrades in a way that feels purposeful, not flashy. It’s the kind of knife you can use hard and still admire, with a profile that’s quick in the hand and materials that age with character.
