Boker Plus Kihon DC Mini BK01BP0037

The Boker Plus Kihon DC Mini is a compact folding knife that strips things down to what truly matters—reliability, functionality, and clean, purposeful design. Created by American custom knifemaker Lucas Burnley, this knife draws inspiration from the Japanese concept of “Kihon,” the foundational techniques that form the backbone of martial arts. That philosophy is evident here, translated into a straightforward, hardworking everyday carry that doesn’t waste time on unnecessary extras.

At the center of the Kihon DC Mini is a 3.23" drop point blade crafted from tough D2 tool steel, known for its edge retention and durability. Finished in a clean satin, the blade offers excellent slicing performance and a rugged look that holds up under real use. The red thumb stud provides a striking visual contrast while delivering smooth, reliable deployment. Thanks to the ball bearing pivot, the blade opens with a fluid, controlled action that feels just right in hand.

The crossbar lock system ensures strength and ease of use, offering ambidextrous operation with a secure lockup you can trust. It’s intuitive, fast, and built for repeated use without compromise. Whether you’re cutting cordage, opening boxes, or handling day-to-day tasks, the mechanism performs with consistency and confidence.

The handle is constructed from black glass-filled nylon, giving the knife a lightweight yet highly durable foundation. Its textured surface enhances grip in all conditions, while subtle red accents add just enough visual edge without overpowering the design. The ergonomics are dialed in for comfort, allowing the knife to sit naturally in your hand during extended use.

At 7.87" overall and weighing just 3.7 ounces, the Kihon DC Mini strikes a solid balance between capability and portability. A tip-up pocket clip ensures secure carry, while the lanyard hole offers additional options for customization. Every element of this knife reflects a focus on practical performance and everyday reliability.

The Boker Plus Kihon DC Mini is a no-nonsense tool built with purpose, combining premium materials, smooth action, and a design rooted in fundamentals to deliver a dependable everyday carry.
