Knife - Essential Tool for Camping, Outdoor Adventure and collection

I designed the ATCF in 1986-87 inspired by my experience with military and security personnel in Central America and the United States. 

The ATCF was the first tactical knife to be fully assembled with screws instead of pins and rivets.
I invented the thumb disk to facilitate opening with both hands. This became a widely copied feature of the ATCF and is used on many other knives by manufacturers around the world.

The ATCF was the first pocket knife to use a checkering on the top which, along with the guard, provides protection and a firm grip. 

The ATCF is one of the most copied knife shapes in the knife world, and as I often like to proudly say, "The ATCF is the shape...that shaped the whole industry!"

Delightfully tactical - Alessandra De Santis/Hydra Design enchants knife enthusiasts around the world with the irresistible charm of the Boker Plus Kirke, inspired by the goddess of sorcery of the same name from Greek mythology. Despite its bewitching magic, the Italian knife designer stays true to its tactical line and keeps the pocket knife in a muted black color.

The ball-bearing-opening blade, made of Nitro-V steel with an austere black stonewash finish can be operated either in flipper or with the generous thumb opening, while the push-button lock ensures intuitive knife release.

Pronounced finger recesses, fine texture on the G10 handle grips and a thumb recess on the back of the blade ensure a secure grip at all times and a high level of safety at work, even in the most adverse conditions.

As a Filipino martial arts enthusiast, Italian knife designer Alessandra De Santis of Hydra Design decided to design a Karambit knife for Boker Plus. These sickle-shaped knives originated in Southeast Asia and were preferably used for harvesting rice. In contrast, the Karambit from Boker Plus comes in a tactical guise. The 154CM Hawkbill blade effortlessly slices its way through cardboard and ropes, while the G10 handle and sturdy linerlock provide the necessary safety on the job.

Light weight and high efficiency form the backbone of the pocket knife named after the Norse goddess of the underworld. As an alternative to the flipper opening, the knife offers a thumb stud screwed into the back of the blade whose shape also serves as an "Emerson Wave"-style opening. Alessandra De Santis' characteristic angular design elements are found in the G10 ring at the end of the handle. The flush, reversible clip allows for flexible knife carrying. Supplied with a high-quality nylon pouch.
