Very good looking knife. I like the blue it's very vibrant. Great video 👍
Thanks for the review, had to pick one up, very sleek knife.
I purchased this Boker (the blue one)several months ago. I'm very pleased with it. I field dressed a whitetail buck with it including splitting the sternum and the knife was still shaving sharp when I was done. It even still functioned. I give it a small shot of WD-40 about once a month and it has always cycled flawlessly. The only negative thing I can say about the knife is that it can be somewhat difficult to open and close multiple times in a row if your hands are wet due to the strong spring. If the sliding thumb piece tab switch thing was textured a little more aggressively, this one slightly negative issue could be remedied. I still give it 5 stars. There are better OTF knives out there I'm sure but not at this price. My friend bought a cobra tech and it might be a slightly better value but I think that the Boker is a little higher quality.
Thanks very much for your comments! Good to know this knife holds up and has some usefulness. Note that Cobra tech is the manufacturer of this knife for Boker. In my experience the springs on out the front knives can be adjusted if you're willing to take it apart and give a slight stretch to the main spring. I've done this with some third-party manufactured knockoffs. 👍🗡️👍
Neat smallish blade with full length handle. Very blue ! Not to my taste but good to see Boker hooking up with U.S. manufacturing.
Thanks, excellent review 👏
Thanks for watching! 👊🗡️👍
I like the Boker OTF Kalashnikov
Tonto was the lone rangers side kick.
I thought he was Tan-toes??? 🤣🗡️👍
Im not much for the otfs with the button on the spine side but that is killer lookin&is the exception.
I like the actuator that way because the ergos are the way the knife is held in use, but just to personal preference.. 🗡️👍
Very nice. Does she have any blade play? Not sure if I missed it or you didn't mention. That protech one definitely overshadows her though. Second you pulled that one out, its like the blue one just disappeared.
All OTF knives have blade play, even Microtech. There are a couple of exceptions, but those cost a grand or more. Yes, the Boker Protect OTS auto seems to have more appeal for most viewers. Thanks for watching! 👍🗡️👍
@@OGBladeReviews welcome. I know, but I keep holding out hope that a production one will come out with a nice, tightly fitted blade...
We'd like to see that, but the blade would jam if there were tighter tolerances. Look up Grant & Gavin Hawk and their "Deadlock" OTF.... 😎
@@OGBladeReviews oh yeah, im well aware of those. Think they're every knife guys dream otf.
@@OGBladeReviews i have Microtech utx85 and its play a little, its ok they saying on the official site
The protech version is still my fav. The compact one this one looks great tho.. they fucking all do... otfs are a little lower on my want list.
Unfortunately the ones I like are so pricey.
But these do look aight the kwaiken is such a cool design
Have u checked out any of the Kershaw launch knives? Like the launch 8. In my experience they have better QC than Protech. They are also USA made.
Yes, the Launch 13 🗡️👍
@@OGBladeReviewsNice! The Xenomorph knife. I just added a 12 in 20cv to my collection smkw just got in their exclusive launch.
I'm pretty sure that the otf is made by cobra tech here in the USA
Yep, that was confirmed by another viewer - Thanks 👍 parts made in Taiwan, though
Do you still have this? They're out of stock everywhere and I really want to purchase one
I have it but it's not for sale. Blade ops does have them however and here's the link: bladeops.com/boker-plus-blue-kwaiken-otf-auto-knife-satin-d2-blade/
@@OGBladeReviews Thank you, I spoke with white mountain and will be buying one through them with your promo code when they become available there as they're local to me. As bad as I want one I don't "need" it right this moment heh. Appreciate the reply bud, all the best
🗡️👍
How did it hold up? I just ordered one. I saw some negative reviews.
Got a few other out the front knives that I use more frequently but I've probably opened and closed this 150 times without any issues. They're made by Cobra tech and although more economy than Microtech they stand behind their products.
@@OGBladeReviews thanks for the reply!
CobraTec knives is the manufacturer.
Excellent info - thanks! 👍🗡️👍
I own 5 regular CobraTecs and this is by FAR there best. Well worth the 120 bucks.
Nice looking but I think I like the out the side by protech better
Me too! 👍
Me too.
Boker Plus Knives are made in Taiwan for Boker
Yes, I think the deal is that the parts may be made in Taiwan, but assembled in the US by Cobra Tec, according to Boker. Note that Boker simply says on their webpage that the Kwaiken OTF is made "in cooperation" with Cobra Tec in the US.
@@OGBladeReviews true
It depends on the knife. Some of their knives are made in Taiwan, some in China, some in Italy and some in the US.
Assembled in the USA would be a more accurate description.
It says "Made in the USA on the box BUT nowhere on the knife.
It's still a very nice knife for the money. I purchased one today for $120.
Yes made by Cobra Tech assembled in the US as with all of their knives and parts made overseas as far as I know. 👍
@@OGBladeReviews It says on the description of the knife "in collaboration with cobratec whose knives are assembled in Texas with parts from China. I will keep my cobratec that I only paid $75 for and be happy.
When I bought mine a couple of weeks ago at a gun show I registered it with Cobratec for the warranty and called them and an actual person answered the phone and told me that all the parts were made in China to there specs and assembled in Texas.@@OGBladeReviews
Good research! 👊🗡️👍
I think is made in Taiwan?
Parts from Taiwan and assembled in U.S., I'm told.
Are you This Old Tony?
Soprano??? 😅👊😅
The blade is too small for all of that handle
Almost a "Cali Legal" set-up, right? 😎
This is why I am not purchasing this knife. It's a really cool design, but they got the blade to handle ratio way off.
