Inspired by the dark and fascinating figure from Greek mythology, the Echidna represents the convergence of primordial strength, mystery, and modern design. A hybrid creature with the features of a woman and a serpent, Echidna was considered the progenitor of some of antiquity’s most famous monsters, including the Hydra and Cerberus. From this inspiration comes the Boker Plus Echidna, a knife designed by French designer Raphaël Durand, capable of transforming mythological allure into a functional and contemporary object.

The model embodies the distinctive aesthetic language of the Durand series, featuring an ergonomically shaped handle with pronounced finger grooves, crafted from a sturdy yet lightweight GRN/TPE composite that ensures a secure grip even during prolonged use. The design is complemented by a reliable back lock mechanism and a lanyard hole, offering various carrying options.

The drop-point blade, crafted from D2 steel with a satin finish, combines excellent cutting performance, wear resistance, and reliability for everyday use. Without any assisted-opening mechanisms, the Echidna emphasizes simple construction and pure functionality, while maintaining a bold and unmistakable character.

A compact, practical knife full of personality, supplied complete with a high-quality nylon sheath for safe and versatile carrying.

In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov presented the AK-47 assault rifle he had designed to the Red Army and immediately convinced the decision-making bodies of its development. Only two years later, the now famous AK-47 was officially put into service as the "7.62 mm Awtomat Kalasshnikova obraztsa 1947". Even then, the simple and reliable design with a gas-pressure magazine with a swivel-head breech, the consistent use of stamped plates that could be produced quickly and cheaply, and the adherence to a class of cartridges introduced by the Wehrmacht with the StG 44 with an average performance between machine gun and rifle ammunition set the trend to this day. These characteristics have made the Kalashnikov system the most built and replicated weapon in history, with an estimated 100 million manufactured worldwide.

Introduced in 1959 along with the AKM, the revised variant of the AK-47, the bayonet was no less revolutionary and formative for later designs than the famous assault rifle itself. The concept was based on a knife originally developed by R. Todorov for combat swimmers. It marked a move away from long bayonets, which were used purely as cutting weapons, to a short, mountable knife with insulated shears and a multifunctional rear saw.

Mikhail Kalashnikov personally visited the Boker manufacture in Solingen in 2002 and officially introduced the Boker Kalashnikov knife line to the public. More than 70 years after the AK-47 entered service, we now present a truly exceptional special edition model of the knife line and once again honor its brilliant engineering achievement. The Boker Kalashnikov Bayonet Damascus features a unique Damascus steel blade, made from 6Ch3 and 6Ch4 bayonet steel according to the GRAU index of the former Soviet Army and decorated with General Kalashnikov's signature. The stainless Damascus, handcrafted by Chad Nichols, has 80 layers and is hand forged in the Virus pattern. It features an unusually intricate pattern that is the result of a very controlled forging process.

The handle is CNC machined from a block of 6061-T6 aluminum and then black anodized. The stabilized inlays are made of domestic hornbeam wood, reminiscent of the wood in the stock of the famous assault rifle, and together they form the shape of the characteristic vents on the fore-end. The Russian amber shellac color of the original stocks has been accurately reproduced. They are also CNC milled from solid and inserted by hand. All screws and clip are also black anodized. Made in the Boker knife factory in Solingen, it is delivered with transparent floating display, certificate of authenticity and individual serial number.
