Boker Rusticus Looks Forward and Backward

Boker has dipped back into the traditional-inspired well for a new model called the Rusticus. This memorably-appellated EDC piece remixes some classic knife design elements into something that straddles the line between old and new.

The Rusticus’s blade embodies the core concepts of the traditional knife ethos. This is not a knife meant to be capable of absolutely everything, instead placing a strong emphasis on matter separation, with a thinly-ground full flat blade in a classic drop point profile. This combination of characteristics would make apples tremble in their boots and stray threads run for cover (if these things had feet to put into boots and legs to run with).

The liner lock has been done in a retro-inflected way

Boker is making the Rusticus with 420HC steel. This steel is, itself, something that has a connection to knife making past and present, as it is often used in traditional folders that aren’t rendered in a carbon steel, and affordable modern knives where the reliability-for-dollar ratio is emphasized over pure enthusiast-level performance. There is a half-moon nail mark on the show side for opening this 3.31-inch user blade.

Red beech wood is the choice for handle material, which has a rich latte color and has been treated for long-term stability. Despite all the traditional nods and touches here, the Rusticus is a locking knife, with a liner lock under its off-side scale. Worth noting however, is the retro configuration, where, instead of a cutout to allow access to the liner under the scale, there is a protruding flange for manipulation. Looks pretty interesting.
