    Intended use: EDC / Sports

    Type of production: Industrial
    Country of manufacture: Taiwan
    Blade: VG-10 stainless steel
    Blade treatment: blackwash
    Handle: titanium
    Blade length: 47mm.
    Blade thickness: 1.7mm.
    Total length: 115mm.
    Weight: 31g.
    Clip: titanium
    Closure: Frame lock
    Packaging: cardboard box with Boker Plus logos
    Notes: Design by Brad Zinker


    While we've seen plenty of Boker products over the years, resourceful knife makers continue to find ways to surprise us. For example, Brad Zinker from Florida with his Urban Trapper, one of the thinnest profile titanium framelocks we've ever experienced. With just 8mm grip thickness (without clip), the term "slim" only inadequately describes the Urban Trapper for its usable size.

    The large holes and titanium transform the Urban Trapper into a real featherweight of just 48 g that can be carried extremely comfortably both in a suit pocket and in light summer trousers. Considering the overall minimalist design of the knife, the size of the flipper is equally reserved.

    When used, it still impresses with its outstanding functionality and reliably opens the blade on VG-10 ball bearings. The blade shape of this classic trapper pocket knife, widely distributed in the United States and worn for many years by Brad Zinker, was the inspiration for this unusual piece.
