Kirk Mayberry Brings Traditional-Inspired Sliplock to Boker

A recent Boker release sees the maker Kirk Mayberry of KM Designs bringing out a production version of his Sliplock custom. The production Boker Plus Sliplock is a modern locking folder that incorporates the visuals of traditional jack knives into its design.

With a length of 3.03 inches, the Sliplock’s blade earns an EDC classification – especially when you take the blade shape into account. The bulbous clip point shape echoes the sort of workhorse clips seen on traditional knives, albeit scaled up a bit and outfitted with a long, oval-shaped opening hole. Actually, the opening hole plays into the traditional aesthetic too because, although the knife can be opened with a thumb or middle finger flick, its elongated shape here means it can also be used like a French pull nail mark.

Don’t let the ‘slip’ in the name fool you; this is a locking knife

The 14C28N steel here provides well-balanced use characteristics, with a healthy serving of all three key measurements: edge retention, toughness, and stain resistance. In the role of a daily cutter, it should provide nice stretches of use in between trips to the sharpening stones. And, speaking of, as a nice bonus 14C28N is also an easy steel to sharpen.

The handle profile also exhibits Mayberry’s traditional knife nous. Although rendered in thoroughly modern materials, in terms of pure outline it has a fairly classic coffin-style shape. The front scale is made from black G-10 with a series of lines cut into the middle, very nearly where a shield inlay might be seen on a traditional knife. But don’t let these thoughts or the name “Sliplock” mislead you: this is a locking knife, with a stainless steel frame lock on the off-side. The Sliplock comes with a non-reversible stainless steel clip and weighs 4.23 oz.

This one is available now.
