There are a few companies I consider the big dogs—those that have been in the game for ages and continue to produce outstanding cutlery year after year. One of those behemoths is Boker. With roots dating back to the 17th century, Boker’s history is as rich as its catalog. Their Solingen-made blades showcase traditional craftsmanship, while the Boker Plus line focuses on modern, innovative designs through collaborations with renowned designers.
Today, we're looking at a knife that’s been around for a bit but never quite got the fanfare it deserved. The Boker Plus Jive, designed by Brian Efros, is a sleek, high-quality EDC folder with clean lines and an ergonomic build. At 7.17 inches overall with a 2.95-inch blade made from D2 steel, it’s compact yet fully capable. The clip point blade gives it a distinct mini-Bowie look, adding character to an otherwise understated design.
Ok, the title may make it sound a bit more exciting than it really is, since you know, it's just me, and I'm the same lazy middle aged bag of hot air that you all talk to every other day, but I'm determined to make myself feel special if it kills me!
While not necessarily a multitool, the new RESCOM from Boker has more in line with tools than it does knives.
What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
