420 Liner Lock with Red Beechwood Handles
The Boker Rusticus Medium is a straightforward, nostalgic pocket knife designed for everyday carry. Inspired by classic first knives, it blends simple functionality with a traditional aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for beginners or those who appreciate unpretentious design.
Blade
The 2.95" clip-point blade is made from 420 steel with a satin finish. 420 is a budget-friendly stainless steel known for its corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, though it lacks the edge retention of higher-end steels. The clip-point shape is versatile, suitable for general tasks like cutting rope, opening packages, or light utility work.
Handle
Red beechwood scales give the Rusticus a warm, rustic appearance. Beechwood is a traditional handle material, lightweight and durable, though it may show wear over time. Brass accents on the liner, pivot screw, and lanyard hole add a touch of classic style. The knife weighs just 1.2oz, making it easy to carry all day.
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.
