Brand new, direct from Boker Knives.
Blade: Functional and robust, the sub-3 inch spear point profile blade is made from D2 tool steel with a heavy, wear hiding acid stonewashed finish. Hollow ground for good slicing performance, the blade opens via a classic nail nick for two-hand operation. A subtle swedge at the tip enhances piercing performance while still retaining good durability.
Handle: Rock solid and robust, the stonewashed stainless steel frame lock offers smooth operation and reliable lockup forming a solid foundation for the Lancer. Dual barrel spacers create an easy to maintain, open back construction and support the Carbon Fiber front scale delivering stylish and appealing look with lightweight performance. When folded the handle completely encapsulates the blade for clean carry. A hole at the pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.
Carries via a right hand, tip-up only, stainless steel, pocket clip.
D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all around knife steel.
