Boker Plus Wasabi Cocobolo
Boker Plus Wasabi Cocobolo
£51.95
Description
The Japanese Knife Maker Kansei Matsuno is a true master of his trade and his designs certainly show a unique style. From the outset, Boker loved the skilful combination of Japanese style elements and features of a modern gentleman's pocketknife and soon became a valued item in their product line.
The slender build and lightweight construction of the Boker Plus Wasabi complement the straightforward design and classic Japanese blade to make an elegant everyday knife. The blade with ball bearings can be opened via the extended tang and is kept open as a slipjoint with a detent ball. The blade is made of reliable 440C, the handle stainless liners and milled clip with scales of exclusive Cocobolo.

- Flawed MasterpieceReview by DS

First, the problem: When the knife is closed, the blade edge is virtually flush with the side of the handle. As this is an open frame design, you have only to slide your finger (or whatever) against the handle's edge and you receive a cut, only 1-2mm deep, but nasty enough to bleed profusely.Rating
Problem dealt with, everything else about the Wasabi is just gorgeous. It's a design thing, and this creation is so darned perfect in its proportions that it's like a traditional Japanese garden. Even the clip (and I don't like clips) is a little work of art. The mechanism works beautifully too, with a nice snap and balance. It's not designed for heavy or even robust work, but as a light duty slicer it performs excellently. The blade is effective - I hadn't realised 440C steel was this good. The cocobolo looks classy, and I've no doubt it works equally well in the other finishes.
If it wasn't for the hazardous closed-blade issue, I'd be trying to find a way of giving this little beauty six stars! As it is, I will just have remember to be careful how I handle this knife, or possibly fashion a guard-piece of some kind, because this Wasabi is a keeper. (Posted on 29 April 2019)

- Very nice little knife !Review by Cornel

Very clean fit & finish (innerly polished !), no lateral play at all, interesting design, very good blade profile ( slightly hollow grind plus reinforced tip !), featherlight and a functional and practical pocket clip ! At this price, it's an exceptional buy. A slightly bigger version would be a treat ! (Posted on 4 June 2018)Rating

- Favourite new edc. Review by Seismic Johnny
-
Really like the blade shape and length maximised for uk. Ideal for cutting apples, which to be honest is what I do most of with my edc! Came sharp. Great one hand fli*ping. The ball detent helps it spring open. Quality feels good. It is light weight. I wander if carbon fibre whould be better as it is already so fly weight. In the wood I think I’d have liked it a little heavier. Clip has good spring on it. Like the bottom lanyard hole as can put a lanyard thru with a mini mini clip to secure to my keys. All in all like it. Will be my edc preferred over my spyderco come pingo and CRKT mah.. (Posted on 30 May 2018)Rating

- Great KnifeReview by JohnM

Don’t know if I’d carry it as an EDC, but it’s UK friendly, reasonable steel for the price and sharp enough for most people out of the box. Stellar service from HH as usual as they ordered this for meRating
Recommended as a everyday use with an easy front flip*er and good detent to hold open.
Single-handed open and close and UK Legal, what’s not to like? (Posted on 29 May 2018)
