Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, this handsome time-tested Boker Copperhead is approximately 3.75" long (closed). The handle is jigged "Appaloosa" Bone with an exclusive Heraldic inlaid Boker Shield and nickel silver bolsters. This knife utilizes a 2.75" Clip blade with Tree Brand etching and a 2.75" Skinner blade. The blades are German C75 Carbon Steel. Note: Carbon Steel is generally harder than stainless steel, this allows the blade to hold a sharper edge, longer. However, Carbon Steel will corrode/rust if it's not cleaned and oiled regularly.
