Re: Boker Kalashnikov

Twobit what’s not to like. I can’t recall it popping open in my pocket.
Terry I do remember the box. I have a ton of standard boxes, but I can’t find my box. :x :x :x

Re: MOP

I have found that any quality neutral shoe polish works.
And like Bill said, “ It all depends on the surface texture of the pearl. Ideally, it should be glass smooth.”

Your knife is perfect as it is. I agree with both Ian and Allen.

Re: Boker Kalashnikov

I would have preferred it with the bead blast finish, but when I got it I didn’t have an option. I mostly use it for gardening, cutting stalks off plants, strings to tie plants up. And to sharpen the occasion pencil. I’ve had it since ??? I paid $39.00. If I had to replace it I’d pay today’s price. ...

Re: Boker Kalashnikov

I got this several years ago. The button is recessed. I can’t recall it opening in my pocket, but without a safety there’s always a chance of it opening. Whenever I use it the knife never lets me down.

Re: Forgotten auto

Looks like something to toss in your tackle box. Good for cutting bait and if it fell into the lake it wouldn’t be a great loss. Good click therapy knife. Knives like these are very useful when a high end knife could be damaged. I own several.
