Boker Kihon Bifold 42a Folding Knife BK110313

The Boker Kihon Bifold 42a brings sleek, understated style and cutting-edge performance together in a design that’s all about practical function and refined execution. Created in collaboration with custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley, this everyday-ready folder offers the kind of thoughtful details and quality materials that make it an instant favorite for those who appreciate precision, versatility, and clean aesthetics.

At the center of this modern classic is a 2.99-inch drop point blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel—one of the most advanced steels on the market today. With exceptional corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness, MagnaCut is made to outperform in nearly any condition. The satin finish enhances the blade’s visual appeal while keeping the look crisp and professional. It’s the kind of blade that doesn’t just look sharp—it stays sharp, even with regular use.

The traditional nail nick and smooth backlock mechanism give the Kihon Bifold a timeless feel with a thoroughly modern backbone. The backlock provides solid, secure blade lockup with a smooth action that users will appreciate each time they open or close the knife. It’s a familiar and reliable mechanism that complements the knife’s streamlined, practical design.

The black stainless steel handle is slim and minimal, giving the knife a stealthy look without sacrificing comfort or function. With subtle contouring and a well-balanced feel, the handle sits comfortably in the hand and holds up well to everyday wear. The color contrast between the handle and satin blade brings a contemporary edge to the overall design, perfectly reflecting Burnley’s trademark approach to utilitarian elegance.

Measuring 4.37 inches closed and 7.36 inches overall, the Kihon Bifold hits the sweet spot for daily use—compact enough for pocket carry, yet large enough to handle serious tasks. The .12-inch blade thickness offers a great balance of slicing performance and structural strength, while the 2.72-ounce weight keeps it light enough for all-day comfort.

Other thoughtful touches include a tip-up pocket clip for convenient and secure carry, and a lanyard hole for those who like to customize their gear with a bit of personal flair or extra retention options. Whether you're using it for routine cutting tasks, keeping it on hand for outdoor adventures, or simply enjoying it as part of your everyday carry, the Kihon Bifold is ready to perform.
