SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Boker Kihon Bifold is a sleek, modern folding knife that brings together advanced materials, thoughtful engineering, and a clean, functional design. Built for everyday carry, this manual folder delivers exactly what you need: a strong blade, reliable locking mechanism, and a slim, carry-friendly profile that disappears in your pocket until it’s time to work.
At the core of the Kihon Bifold is a 2.99-inch CPM MagnaCut stainless steel drop point blade. MagnaCut is quickly becoming a favorite among knife enthusiasts for its outstanding combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a plain edge and satin finish, this blade looks sharp and performs even better. The drop point shape offers excellent control and versatility, making it just as capable for precision slicing as it is for general utility work.
Opening the blade is fast and intuitive thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, which cater to both right- and left-handed users. The smooth, manual action pairs perfectly with the classic backlock mechanism, giving you dependable blade security and peace of mind while in use. Whether you're cutting rope, opening packages, or tackling everyday tasks, the Kihon Bifold keeps things simple, safe, and effective.
Closed, the knife measures 4.37 inches and opens up to a full 7.36 inches overall, providing just the right amount of reach without feeling bulky. With a blade thickness of just 0.12 inches and a weight of 2.72 ounces, it’s easy to carry all day, every day. This is the kind of knife you forget you’re carrying—until you need it, and then you’re glad it’s there.
The handle is crafted from black stainless steel, giving the knife a rugged, industrial look with the strength to match. It’s slim and smooth, yet durable enough to handle years of hard use. A tip-up pocket clip allows for deep, secure carry, and the lanyard slot offers an extra option for those who prefer a personalized touch or need quicker access.
Every aspect of the Boker Kihon Bifold speaks to thoughtful design and purpose-driven construction. It’s a refined, no-nonsense tool that fits seamlessly into your everyday routine, whether you're heading into the office, stepping out into the woods, or just looking for a reliable blade to have at the ready.
