Designed by Brad Zinker, a member of The Knifemakers Guild specializing in handmade custom knives. The Urban Trapper 42 Folder is the perfect compact E.D.C. It features a smooth, dynamic action of the blade-opening mechanism, a utility clip point blade, a deep carry clip and extremely light weight (30g).
Brad Zinker - after graduating from college with a degree in art photography, working in the industry, he stumbled into the world of handmade custom knives. His fascination with knives led him to start making his own knives. Combining classic and modern, he creates functional EDCs with clean lines, shapes and transitions.
VG-10 - Japanese stainless steel produced by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd. This steel maintains a great compromise between long sharpness retention and easy sharpening. High resistance to cracking and chipping. Hardened to 59-63 HRC. Due to very restrictive export policy practically all knives (or their heads) made of this steel must be produced in Japan.
Blade - clip point is polished from high quality Japanese VG-10 steel. The generous tang extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards a needle sharp tip in conjunction with the high concave Hollow Grind which gives razor sharp cutting performance. The blade is mounted on ball bearings that support the work of the opening mechanism, thanks to which the folder can be efficiently unfolded by means of a milled recess in the head (Nail Nick). The whole is locked with a proven frame lock.
Handle - chamfered titanium facings with holes all over the handle surface, characteristic for Brad Zinker designs. To stiffen the construction they are screwed with distance sleeves thanks to which we get characteristic Open Spaced construction. Simple, solid construction gives assurance of many years of use. One-position right-side metal deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position. This construction and the use of excellent materials have resulted in an extremely low overall weight.
Böker Plus - the most advanced series of knives in the Böker range. Well-known names in the knife industry were invited to collaborate on the design. The offer includes knives with a fixed head, folding knives, automatic knives and a wide range of accessories needed by knife lovers. Modern materials, German quality, all this makes the knives of the Böker Plus series trusted by customers.
