The Boker Plus The Escort is a clean, modern folding knife that blends understated elegance with high-performance functionality. Designed by the renowned John Kubasek, this everyday carry folder is built to meet the demands of those who value precision, reliability, and refined design. From the materials to the mechanics, every detail of The Escort reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and contemporary style.
At the center of this sleek manual folder is a 3.5-inch straight back blade made from Nitro-V stainless steel—a high-performance steel known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness. With a satin finish that highlights the smooth grind and clean lines, the blade is as attractive as it is effective. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or handling everyday cutting tasks, this blade performs with confidence and control. The straight back design adds extra strength along the spine, making it ideal for a wide range of utility work.
A smooth blade flipper offers quick, intuitive one-handed opening, pairing seamlessly with the sturdy framelock mechanism that keeps the blade secure during use. The framelock’s solid engagement adds an extra level of confidence, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place when it matters most. When closed, the knife tucks into a compact 4.26-inch profile, while the overall open length of 7.76 inches delivers plenty of cutting edge without feeling oversized in the hand or pocket.
The handle is crafted from gray stainless steel, giving the knife a balanced weight and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. Clean, angular lines and subtle contours create an ergonomic grip that’s both comfortable and secure, while the durable steel construction ensures it stands up to daily wear. A tip-up pocket clip provides discreet and dependable carry, keeping The Escort close at hand whenever you need it. At just 3.46 ounces, it strikes the perfect balance between solid build quality and lightweight carry.
Attention to detail doesn’t stop at the knife itself. The Escort includes a nylon storage case, making it easy to store or transport securely. Whether it’s part of your everyday rotation or a treasured piece in your collection, this knife brings the right mix of function, style, and thoughtful design.
