Boker Rusticus Medium - Ebony - Black Stonewash 420 Blade

420 Liner Lock with Ebony Handles

The Rusticus Medium is a classic, no-frills pocket knife designed for everyday carry. Inspired by traditional first knives, it combines nostalgic styling with modern functionality. The all-black design and simple construction make it an ideal choice for beginners or anyone who prefers a straightforward, reliable folder.

Blade

The 2.95" clip-point blade uses 420 steel with a black stonewash finish. 420 is a budget-friendly stainless steel that offers decent corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, though it lacks the edge retention of premium steels. The clip-point shape provides a good balance of tip utility and cutting edge length.

Handle

Ebony wood scales give the knife a traditional appearance. Ebony is a dense, dark hardwood known for its durability and rich color. Brass accents on the liner, pivot screw, and lanyard hole add subtle contrast to the otherwise monochromatic design. The handle weighs just 1.2oz, making the knife lightweight for all-day carry.

Carry

The liner lock mechanism is simple and reliable, holding the blade open with a sturdy metal bar. There is no pocket clip, so the knife is meant to be carried loose in a pocket or with a lanyard attached to the hole in the handle.
