Kihon Bifold – Modern EDC pocket knife for everyday use

The Böker Plus Kihon Bifold is a refined pocket knife that combines Japanese minimalism with German precision. This compact EDC knife stands out thanks to its unique construction from a single folded sheet of stainless steel. With a blade length of 8.1 cm and droppoint design, this knife is perfect for daily cutting tasks.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a camping trip, we extensively tested this pocket knife. The thumb stud opening mechanism worked flawlessly, even with wet hands. The balance between the 77-gram knife and the grip felt natural when cutting rope and preparing meals.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The premium CPM MagnaCut steel is razor-sharp and retains its sharpness exceptionally well. This modern powder steel offers superior cutting performance on rope, wood, and food. The stonewashed blade finish perfectly masks minor signs of use, while the plain-edge grind ensures optimal cutting power.

Grip and ease of use

Despite the minimalist design, this knife feels surprisingly comfortable in hand. The stainless steel handle with subtle texture provides sufficient grip. The backlock locking mechanism clicks securely into place and this knife can be opened one-handed, making it extra practical to use.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Ideal for the modern professional seeking a reliable EDC knife without flashy looks. Beginners appreciate the simple operation, while experienced users value the premium materials and thoughtful ergonomics. Perfect for everyday use in the city or outdoors.

Maintenance and durability

The CPM MagnaCut material is highly corrosion-resistant, but regular wiping after use remains advisable. A drop of oil on the pivot keeps the action smooth. The stonewashed finish effectively hides small scratches, ensuring this pocket knife lasts for years without visible wear.
