Boker Plus Gnome Fixed Blade Knife 2.17in Plain Copper Black Micarta

The Boker Plus Gnome Fixed Blade Knife with Copper Black Micarta handles is a compact yet highly effective tool designed by the renowned knife maker Jesper Voxnaes. Known for his minimalist and functional designs, Voxnaes has created a knife that combines practicality, durability, and style in a small but powerful package. The Boker Plus Gnome is ideal for everyday carry, outdoor tasks, and as a handy utility tool for those who appreciate craftsmanship and reliability.

At the heart of the Boker Plus Gnome is the 2.17" sheepsfoot blade made from D2 tool steel. D2 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium steel that offers exceptional wear resistance and edge retention, making it a favorite for knives that need to perform tough tasks while maintaining sharpness over extended periods. The black finish on the blade not only gives it a sleek and tactical appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring the knife can withstand harsh environments and demanding tasks.

The sheepsfoot blade shape is particularly well-suited for precision cuts and slicing tasks. Its straight edge and rounded tip provide excellent control, reducing the risk of accidental punctures while allowing for clean, controlled cuts. This makes the Gnome ideal for detailed work, such as carving, cutting cordage, or performing small tasks around the camp or home. Despite its compact size, the Gnome’s blade offers plenty of functionality, making it a versatile addition to any knife collection.

One of the standout features of the Gnome is its full-tang construction, meaning that the blade extends throughout the entire handle, providing maximum strength and durability. The handle is made from black Micarta, a robust and lightweight material known for its excellent grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. The Micarta handle scales are contoured to fit comfortably in the hand, ensuring a secure and ergonomic grip despite the knife’s small size.

Adding to the knife’s distinctive look are two hollow copper studs in the handle. These copper accents not only enhance the visual appeal of the knife but also serve a practical purpose. The rear stud functions as a lanyard hole, allowing users to attach a lanyard for easy carrying or quick access. The copper contrasts beautifully with the black Micarta and black blade, giving the knife a unique and rugged aesthetic.

Measuring just 3.86" overall and weighing only 1.69oz, the Boker Plus Gnome is incredibly compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry on a daily basis. Its small size makes it a great choice for discreet carry, whether in a pocket, on a belt, or around the neck. Despite its diminutive dimensions, the Gnome delivers powerful performance, proving that great things can indeed come in small packages.

For secure and convenient carry, the Gnome comes with a black Kydex sheath. Kydex is a highly durable, lightweight material that provides excellent retention for the blade, ensuring it stays securely in place until needed. The sheath is compact and can be easily attached to a belt, pack, or worn around the neck, offering multiple carry options depending on the user’s preference. The minimalist design of the sheath complements the knife’s compact nature, making it a practical accessory for everyday use.

Designed by Jesper Voxnaes, the Gnome exemplifies his philosophy of creating tools that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Known for his clean, Scandinavian-inspired designs, Voxnaes has a reputation for producing knives that are simple yet highly effective, and the Gnome is no exception. Its compact size, combined with its high-quality materials and thoughtful design, makes it an excellent choice for those who value practicality without sacrificing style.
