GearPatrol: Böker Morphs an Iconic Tactical Blade into a Refined EDC Flipper

GearPatrol: Böker Morphs an Iconic Tactical Blade into a Refined EDC Flipper

Originally inspired by and modified from Southeast Asian rice harvesting tools, karambit knives have been a favorite in the martial arts, tactical and military communities for years. But the aggressive, purpose-driven style has found difficulty in translating to everyday usage.
That could be about to change, however, courtesy of Böker’s Hel Karambit, which takes the typically combat-focused knife style and translates it into something much more EDC-friendly.

A cursory glance at this Böker folding blade would ensure even the most critical of knife fanatics that it is, in fact, a true karambit.
The curve of its 154CM steel hawkbill blade leads right into its equally-curved G-10 handle, culminating in the style’s signature finger ring at the butt—all hallmarks of the combat-inspired style.

Even its deployment — a flipper with a spring-assisted mechanism — harkens to the speed and tactical nature of more traditional karambit knives.

Even if it is optimized for EDC use with the flipper etc, the blade is still a hawkbill, which is just not a shape I can get used to for common tasks.
