Did (or does) Boker make a field sized ceramic blade knife? I've had a one to two year "discussion" with a colleague who insists that when he was in San Diego, he handled an approximate 5-6" ceramic blade knife that was made by Boker and intended as a field utility knife. I disagree. However, the "discussion continues" :rolleyes:

Thank you in advance for the response,

Stuart
 
Well Sir,
You win,tell him to pay up. :D
The only fixed blade ceramics we make are the Kitchen line.
The ceramic composition we use wouldn't be the first choice for heavy duty field use.
Congrats on being right.

Thank you TJT. I will lift one of the many beers to your assist regarding this. :D

All the best,

Stuart

:confused: Stu never mentioned fixed blade, except for the length. The 2040 wouldn't be considered a kitchen knife.
I agree that ceramic wouldn't be a good choice for blade material of a field knife though.
 
Hello Hydraulic, and welcome to the forum.

When speaking of a military field knife, the general definition is a fixed blade knife, 5-6" in blade length.
There have been some ceramic fixed blades produced for field use, but not by Boker.
Thanks, Terry
 
TJT,Hi! My name is Doug Castor.Are you the Boker guy?Sorry,for being so ill informed.Anywho,
are ya'll the ones working on the ceramic,silver,titanium composite blade material? :)
 
Hello Leatherbird.
Yes, I am the Boker guy, and yes, we do have the Ceramic/Titanium
material. There is not alot of silver in it, but it is one of the ingredients.
We have kitchen, and folding knives made of it.
If you have any questions on it, feel free to start a seperate thread, and I'll answer the best I can.
Thanks, and welcome.

Thanks.No point in starting another thread,when it comes to composite metallurgy,that is some mighty deep water,and it'd be way over my head. :foot:
 
I dont think Solingen is going to beat Seki or Moki in anyway. Most of the cutlery material science is mastered by the Japanese. Them Japan got better steel, better quality control, better cooperation from makers to makers,................the outcome is that the customers are the winners.

In case of Boker, they are not widely known as Spyderco or Benchmade, why?......................the lack of innovation might be the reason..........they use "traditional" materials and steel, like 440C while other progressive knife makers move forward in technology....while Boker knives seem to be maintaining the status quote.

Sure they got some ceramic knives, but that is Japanese anyway.....Kyocera made all the ceramic knives for Boker, I heard...........

Cheers,

Hmmm. . . this not only has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but is indecipherable nonsense as well.

Is this all you do, juicy? sTROLL into different company forums and hijack threads with insulting drivel?
 
Juiceseller has been warned and here he is trolling again. Now he's walking the plank.
