Böker Plus Recommendations

[like em sharp]

Well... the Böker Plus line is not made in China, most of their knives are made in Taiwan

There are quite definitely some Chinese made Boker Plus knives, however the quality is fairly consistent.

Boker Magnum's are mostly re-branded Chinese made knives and thus the quality depends on the OEM they come from. Some good, some bad.

The Boker Plus knives I've had here were Chinese.

The one in my pic says China right on it. Look closely !!!

My Boker Plus Titan is made in China. A pretty decent knife for what your getting but not the sharpest from factory as expected from this line in my experience. Good user/EDC though.

The one I'm looking at is the Boker Plus Exodus, looks to be a nice handling fixed blade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8EmdCHaX8g

It does seem to be well packaged for a very reasonable price. A using blade of course. http://www.heinnie.com/Exodus/p-0-0-8240/

That is a nice looking well made sturdy blade.

The Exodus I have doesn't have the best fit between handle slabs & tang contours, but it's a VERY sturdy critter.
Kinda like the finish, I don't have much interest in perfectly polished shiny blades.

(Should I mention the box says something other than Taiwan?)

The Boker Plus Chinese knives can be quite decent & good value for their price levels.
They are not always the equal of the German & Argentine knives in fit & finish, but they work & the materials are typically not bottom drawer.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO, AND THE PIC BEFORE, THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA, BUT I BELIEVE THEIR FIT AN FINISH IS VERY, VERY GOOD, I ACTUALLY DONT MIND THEM BEING MADE IN CHINA FOR THAT QUALITY CONTROL.

I´M ALSO FAN OF THE ONTARIOS, AND IF YOU PLACE THEM BOTH FACE TO FACE, YOU´LL FIND THE FINISH OF THE BOKER PLUS LINE, SPECIALLY IN THOSE FIXED BLADE, "HIGH END" KNIVES IS WAAAAAY BETTER.

CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT ABOUT THE ROLD, CHINA GROUND WITH D2 STEEL...(SORRY FOR PUBLISHING IT IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE) BUT I BELIEVE YOU CANT ARGUE ABOUT THE FINISH.

THE ONLY ISSUE FOR ME, IS THAT, AT LEAST THE THREE KNIVES WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT ARE OVER AND AROUND 100 BUCKS, AND THAT´S EXPENSIVE, BUT HEY, PUT IT UP AGAINST KABARS AND YOU´LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

THE ONLY ISSUE IN MY OPINION ABOUT BOKER IS THE LACK OF CONSISTANCE IN QUALITY, ALL OF THEM ARE BOKER, YET THE LOWER END KNIVES ARE TERRIBLE QUALITY AND FINISH, COMPARED WITH THE PLUS LINE.

TKS.

Here is one I may begin lusting for. The Boker Plus BOB. Short and thick little brute, might be a nice outdoors activity EDC or maybe even as it's name suggests. http://www.heinnie.com/Boker-Plus-Knives/Fixed-Blade-Knives/Boker-Plus-Bob/p-298-971-6744/

You won't be sorry with that one. I LOVE mine. It's like a super HD Bowie tip. Everyone who has handled this knife has loved it. Just my .02c

Note: the knife & it's handle seem small by the actual measurements but because of it's forward finger choil/rest, it fells much bigger than it is. I actually have handle left over in grip.
