Boker Urban Trapper Damascus Gentleman's Knife

The Urban Trapper is one of the most popular folding knives in the Boker collection. This version ups the ante with a VG-10 damascus blade and a skeletonized titanium handle for an even more striking look. Weighing just 1.8 ounces, the knife is hardly noticeable in the pocket. Combine that with its slim profile and you’ll barely even notice it’s there . . . until you need it. Then, when it’s time to open the knife, you’ll need no more than a firm press on the flipper tab. Thanks to its clip-point shape, the blade can maneuver in tight spaces with ease. Rounding out the folder is the right-handed tip-up pocket clip.

If you like slim knives, you need to know Brad Zinker. Based in Florida, Brad is a voting member of the Knifemakers’ Guild with a passion for slender designs. His philosophy is simple, that knives should never be a strain or hindrance to their owner, whether fixed blades or folders. Thus, the majority of his knives—including this one—are extremely pocket friendly and lightweight. However, while much of Zinker’s work highlights blades with impossibly thin construction, he’s also been known to craft hunting knives and heavy-duty folders, using ATS-34 and damascus as his materials of choice.
