First off, thanks for taking the time to read my reviews. Please check out my other reviews and keep an eye out for many more to come. Now, straight to the specs.
Blade length: 1 3/4"
Overall Length: 6"
Weight: 4.2oz
Blade Material: 440C
Handle Material: G-10
I would like to start with saying that while most consider all knives tools, the "Cop Tool" is indeed a tool and a very good one at that. You might notice that throughout this review I will be calling it a tool more than I will a knife. This is due to it's many useful features that make it such a great tool. As a fixed blade, this tool is part of the Boker Plus collection being since it's made in Taiwan. Boker Plus products are made either in Taiwan or China. While it is true that some knives have their issues when coming from said facilities (mostly due to their lack of quality control while being mass produced in a huge facility), don't let this tool fool you. With it's simplistic design, there's hardly any problems to be had with this.
Following this picture, I would like to point out the barely visible 440C marked on this tool. While 440C isn't a high end steel, it's still a good steel and has a hard price tag to beat. The blade on this is uniquely serrated and will be very challenging if not impossible to sharpen but is super sharp. The blade portion of this tool is all serrated and pretty short so the cutting uses will be minimal.
Moving onto the features of this tool, I have say that this thing has many uses. To list them off, this thing has a blade For cutting, is flat tipped at the end for getting prying leverage. That being said, now is a good time as any to mention that this tool is super thick. It's perfectly designed so and is intended for being used as a pry bar.
Continuing on, this tool has a handy seat belt cutter and a glass breaker at the end. The shape of this knife is well thought out considering the index finger cut out, the thumb groves on either side, and the serration on the back of the blade for an alternative thumb grip. Despite these designs, I am still skeptical about my hand slipping during strenuous use.
Some other features that are a nice addition are the black G-10 grips on either side and a lanyard hole. This tool does come with a black and grey box braided lanyard but I replaced it with one of my own.
Next, I want to focus on the sheath that it comes with. The sheath is made out of a black leather and is very well designed. I couldn't see this tool having a better sheath. It's simple, looks great, and is very durable. The sheath also has a metal clip that works well, even with large belt widths. The retention on this sheath is okay.
As far as the cons with this tool, there really aren't any besides the possible hand slipping as I mentioned earlier. Yes, I know that's a big problem when it comes to knives but if you are careful and considering that's the only problem with this tool, I say this thing is great. With a price range of $36 to $80, this knife is a great go to tool.
