The BOKER PLUS Strike Tanto (model 01BO401) is a folding pocket knife with a tanto-style blade designed for robust piercing and predictable cutting performance. The blade geometry concentrates strength at the tip, while the folding design and pocket-friendly profile provide everyday carry convenience. Intended for general-purpose use, this pocket knife combines a compact form factor with a blade shape suited to tasks that require a strong point and reliable edge retention.
Advantages
The tanto-style blade offers increased tip strength for puncturing and precision tasks, and the folding mechanism keeps the blade safely stowed when not in use. Its compact carry profile and one-hand operability make it practical for daily carry, while materials and construction focus on functional durability. The design balances secure piercing capability with straight-edge performance for slicing and cutting.
Suitable for
- Everyday carry tasks such as opening packages, cutting cordage and light trimming
- Outdoor activities including campsite tasks, food preparation and small field repairs
- Utility work where a strong tip is needed for puncturing or precise cutting
- Users who prefer a compact folding knife with a reinforced tip geometry
When it may not be suitable
This knife’s tanto geometry emphasizes tip strength over belly curvature, so it is less suitable for tasks that require long, sweeping slicing motions or delicate skinning work. It is not intended as a substitute for specialized fixed-blade tools in heavy-duty chopping or prying applications.
Key specifications
- Blade type: Tanto-style blade with reinforced tip
- Action: Folding pocket knife mechanism for safe stowage
- Use case: General-purpose cutting and piercing
- Carry: Pocket-friendly design suitable for everyday carry
How to use
Open and close the folding knife following the manufacturer’s mechanism for safe handling, ensuring the blade locks fully into place before applying force. Use the straight edge portion for precise cuts and the reinforced tanto tip for piercing tasks. Maintain a firm grip and cut away from the body. After use, clean and dry the blade, then fold it and store it secure in a pocket or sheath to prevent accidental opening.
What to consider before purchase
- Preferred blade geometry — tanto tip for piercing strength versus a curved belly for slicing
- Intended use — everyday carry and light utility versus specialized outdoor or heavy-duty tasks
- Local regulations regarding folding knives and allowable blade lengths
Usage recommendations
For routine maintenance, wipe the blade clean after use, apply light oil to pivot points, and periodically sharpen the edge following the blade’s angle. Use the tip for controlled piercing and the straight edge for cutting tasks to preserve edge life and ensure safe operation.
