Boker dagger choice

[jjcoolay]

There is the Bo-546
It is claimed to have a great cutting potential due to its concave shaped blade, meaning it is flat on one side of the knife.


Then there is the Bo-af11 or the Bo-maf12
I did not know which one i was looking at so i guessed.

These are the tradtional daggers so there needs to be no description.


Which one should I get?? The first knife is going for about $125 Candian, about 80 bucks american while the other one is either going for 175 canadian or about 110 american

I recommend the Böker A-F Boot (546) model.
The special blade design (The blade has the typical double-conical grinding of a dagger on one side and is hollow-ground on the other.) offers very good stabbing qualities combined with a sturdy tip. The blade is not good for cutting tasks but a acceptable slasher.
The sheath is perfect suitable for IWB carry.
Following a better pic of this dagger.

I gotta agree with Horus. Had one once, it was probably the best dagger I have ever owned. Very nice piece. Figured I should let it go seein' as I'm in Washington where carrying such devilish instruments is verboten. You can't go wrong with that one.

Thanks for the reply. I was leaning towrds that on simply cuase i have never encountered a knife that was hollow ground like that.
Also the price is still good so that i can buy more knives. Not that the 50 bucks difference was much to begin with.
