Rigorous efficiency or flexible dynamics? - A question that doesn't even arise for Alessandra de Santis's Boker Plus Gemtek. It can do both, not to mention the nuances in between. The designer from Hydra Design is known for her spirited creations with maximum functionality.

The Gemtek confidently joins this series and presents itself as a folding knife with a Frame Lock mechanism, featuring a Modified-Droppoint blade in high-performance D2 steel, which opens with a Flipper and impresses with its stonewash finish and a decorative false edge.

The handle front is made of gray G10, equipped with a discreet triangular texture for optimal grip. Carefully balanced elements such as the red spacers with an integrated loop and a G10 triangle on the back, reflecting the structure of the handle's front, elegantly complete the pocket knife's appearance.

The Tip-Up (r) clip allows for deep carry, ensuring the knife almost entirely disappears in the pants pocket. It comes with a high-quality nylon case for storage.

As a Filipino martial arts enthusiast, Italian knife designer Alessandra De Santis of Hydra Design decided to design a Karambit knife for Boker Plus. These sickle-shaped knives originated in Southeast Asia and were preferably used for harvesting rice. In contrast, the Karambit from Boker Plus comes in a tactical guise. The 154CM Hawkbill blade effortlessly slices its way through cardboard and ropes, while the G10 handle and sturdy linerlock provide the necessary safety on the job.

Light weight and high efficiency form the backbone of the pocket knife named after the Norse goddess of the underworld. As an alternative to the flipper opening, the knife offers a thumb stud screwed into the back of the blade whose shape also serves as an "Emerson Wave"-style opening. Alessandra De Santis' characteristic angular design elements are found in the G10 ring at the end of the handle. The flush, reversible clip allows for flexible knife carrying. Supplied with a high-quality nylon pouch.
