Designed by Viktor Windberger, the Boker Plus Mechanical Claw Folding Knife is a compact, purpose-driven tool built for secure handling, fast access, and dependable everyday performance. With its distinctive profile and reinforced retention features, this knife is engineered for users who want maximum control in a minimal footprint. It’s compact, capable, and designed with a clear focus on functional utility over unnecessary complexity.
At the core of the design is a 1.1-inch blade crafted from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel. Known for its solid balance of hardness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, 9Cr18MoV is well suited for compact utility blades that need to stay reliable through repeated use. Despite its small size, the blade is shaped for practical cutting tasks where precision and control matter more than reach. It delivers dependable performance for light-duty everyday use, fine detail work, and quick cutting needs.
Deployment is handled through a thumbstud and thumbhole system, allowing for flexible, controlled manual opening. The action is straightforward and reliable, giving users precise blade control during deployment. Once opened, the linerlock engages securely, ensuring stable lockup during use and maintaining confidence in handling. The overall mechanism is intentionally simple, prioritizing reliability and ease of operation in a compact platform.
The black G-10 handle provides a strong, lightweight foundation designed for durability and grip security. G-10 is widely recognized for its toughness, resistance to moisture, and ability to maintain a firm hold even in challenging conditions. The textured surface enhances traction, while the ergonomic shaping ensures controlled handling despite the knife’s compact size. Finished in black, the handle maintains a clean, tactical appearance that aligns with the knife’s utilitarian purpose.
A standout feature of the Mechanical Claw is the integrated stainless steel finger ring at the pommel. This design element significantly enhances retention, allowing for secure grip options and rapid repositioning in hand. It adds both functional security and quick-access capability, making the knife easier to control during fast or precise movements. The ring also contributes to the knife’s distinctive mechanical character, reinforcing its purpose-built design philosophy.
Made in China under Boker Plus production standards, the Mechanical Claw reflects consistent build quality and practical engineering. It is designed for users who value compact efficiency, secure handling, and dependable performance in a small, specialized cutting tool.
The Boker Plus Mechanical Claw combines a black G-10 handle, a 1.1-inch 9Cr18MoV blade, and an integrated finger ring for secure grip, fast control, and compact everyday utility.
