Atlas Backlock Sheepfoot | Böker Plus

Atlas Backlock Sheepfoot – Compact pocket knife for everyday use

The Böker Plus Atlas Backlock Sheepfoot is a minimalist pocket knife with a practical sheepfoot blade. This compact knife weighs only 54 grams and fits perfectly in your pocket for EDC use. The combination of D2 steel and a black finish makes this a reliable choice for those who value functionality over frills.

Experience from the Shogun team

We took this knife with us on a weekend trip in the Ardennes. The sheepfoot blade proved ideal for cutting rope and preparing food. The nail nick takes some practice, but once you get used to it, it works well.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The D2 steel is a semi-stainless steel known for its high durability and long-lasting sharpness. With a blade length of 6.8 cm, this knife cuts effortlessly through wood, cardboard, and food. The satin finish of the blade provides a razor-sharp edge with excellent control.

Grip and ease of use

The handle sits securely in the hand, although it can feel a bit slippery in wet conditions. The backlock locking mechanism works reliably and inspires confidence during use. The opening mechanism via the nail nick does require two hands, which some may find a drawback.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This pocket knife is perfect for the minimalist EDC user looking for a reliable and discreet knife. The sheepfoot blade makes it ideal for precision work. Less suitable for those who want a knife that can be opened with one hand or for heavier tasks.

Maintenance and durability

D2 steel is semi-stainless and requires regular maintenance. Clean the knife after use and occasionally apply a drop of oil to the blade. The satin finish is scratch-resistant but may show some wear with intensive use. With proper maintenance, this knife will last for years.
