Aloha All,

Again, long time no see, and I hope that everyone has been well...

Just wanted to give props to Boker for creating a production Fred Perrin Le Griffe! I received mine from Boker Germany (Thanks CFD and Mr. "L"!) sometime ago, but I been going through some trips, so forgive my being late in sharing about it.

Here are some pics of a genuine Le Griffe made by my friend Mr. Perrin, and it was given to me by a long time Knifebro. (If ya wanna make yourself known, please do bro!)

Now, here is the production version, coming out of the Boker Plus line. I like this one a LOT, and I thank God for the right hand chisel grind. Boker did this one right, as it is easy to sharpen, and takes a good edge...something I have not experienced too often in the world of chisel ground edges. I enjoy the "bare bones" functionality of this production model, and I flipped out on the way the Fred Perrin logo was cut right through the blade!

I tell you guys, this one, all the way down to the sheath, represents my friend Mr. Perrin's work very well. I can carry this one with no problems "legally" if I were diving or fishing, but in the urban environment, I got mixed answers again from the local PD. Some say it's no problem, some say it'd get me into a lotta trouble. *Sigh*...

Regardless, the Perrin/Boker Plus collab is a GREAT model, and it proves to do very well in mostly all my cutting tasks. One thing I like about the chisel grind is that I have managed to "bring it back" once I feel it getting dull by swiping it on things like cardboard, or even my BDU's!!! No kidding...

I for one am thankful for these types of production collabs because I can afford them due to their great price point, and they are "expendable"...I'd hate to lose/abuse my genuine Le Griffe...but this Boker Plus version...hmmmmm...I don't feel bad at all abus...er, using it hard!

Seriously, a piece well worth looking into...just be sure to check your local laws regarding carrying one. I don't wanna see any of you guys at my um..."day job".

God bless and mahalo for cheking this out!
 
I like this A LOT!

Thanks for showing.
 
Thanks for the pics. I've lusted after one of those for years, it's bittersweet to hear of a production version as they are (I think) illegal here. Great looking knife!

Are you in Canada?
If so, they're NOT illegal here.
Not even a little bit.:)
 
What are these priced at?
 
Wow... I can't tell them apart. What steel is Boker using, 440?
 
Stabman, this knife would be considered a 'knuckleduster' type and therefore a prohibited weapon. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so. Too bad, it's a real beauty.
 
I had the chance to handle one in Germany, it is nice but I definitely prefer the Emerson LaGriffe, somehow it fits better in hand ( maybe I am subjective, I didn't have the opportunity to compare both, in the same time )and for such a short blade I opt for the hawk shape. Maybe Boker variant is good for EDC tasks, but I suppose that the Emerson LaGriffe is better for other tasks.

Actually, it wouldn't.
The Emerson Lagriffe is for sale, legally, in Canada.
This one should be no different.
If it had holes for TWO fingers, it would be a no-go(most likely).
Karambits are fine here, and so is this.:)
 
Was tempted by the design for a long time from a few companies who made cheaper versions, but now that there's one licensed by the man himself, now we're talking. And from Boker, functional blade shape, in my usual 440 steel? I'll pre-order one as soon as they're available, possibly two if the price is good.
 
That would be a helluva rig... 2 of them Boker Perrins... Nice.
 
I would be down with a BF batch buy.
 
I believe it'll be made in the RoC, not the PRoC. Taiwan ftw!

Shaloha, Daywalker! Does the Boker Plus LaGriffe meet the approval of Annakin?

Best wishes,

Thom
