Inspired by the tip design of traditional Japanese swords, the Kissaki was developed as an everyday carry (EDC) knife with a characteristic short, fixed blade made from \u003cstrong\u003e440C stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its high hardness and corrosion resistance make the blade ideal for demanding tasks both in daily life and outdoors. The \u003cstrong\u003eChū-Kissaki\u003c\/strong\u003e blade shape and precise dimensions allow for fine, almost surgical cuts. The stonewash finish emphasizes durability while minimizing visible wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe handle reflects dedication and simplicity. It features a base of \u003cstrong\u003eray skin imitation\u003c\/strong\u003e for texture and strength, wrapped with a muted wine-red cord (Ito) in the traditional \u003cstrong\u003eHineri-Maki\u003c\/strong\u003e cross pattern. This gives the Kissaki its unmistakable charm as a classic tactical knife and a loyal everyday companion — true to the samurai spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor secure transport, the \u003cstrong\u003eBoker Plus Kissaki\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with a robust Kydex sheath with a belt clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA must-have for collectors of historically inspired knives!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003chr\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade made of 440C steel\u003c\/strong\u003e – high hardness, excellent edge retention, and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChū-Kissaki blade shape\u003c\/strong\u003e – Japanese-inspired, precise, and controllable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStonewash finish\u003c\/strong\u003e – durable and tactical appearance, resistant to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull-tang construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – maximum stability for demanding use\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional handle design\u003c\/strong\u003e – ray skin imitation and wine-red wrapped Ito in Hineri-Maki style\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKydex sheath with belt clip\u003c\/strong\u003e – secure carrying and convenient transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is the Boker Plus Kissaki for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCollectors of historically inspired knives with a passion for Japanese designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable, compact fixed blade for daily life and nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEDC users who prefer a fixed blade with character and clean design language\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMartial arts or bushcraft enthusiasts who value the balance between tradition and modernity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect for the following uses:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEDC (Everyday Carry)\u003c\/strong\u003e – compact size and high cutting performance for daily tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor \u0026 bushcraft\u003c\/strong\u003e – cutting, carving, and food preparation in the field or at camp\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection \u0026 display\u003c\/strong\u003e – aesthetically and symbolically striking knife for enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraining \u0026 tactical use\u003c\/strong\u003e – robust construction for controlled, safe handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCulturally inspired design\u003c\/strong\u003e – a piece that expresses Far Eastern discipline and craftsmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Böker Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47357413458082,"sku":"02BP0026","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/7498\/1282\/files\/02bp0026.jpg?v=1782127613"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/7498\/1282\/collections\/thomas-krug-mbf-designer-boker.jpg?v=1782800629","url":"https:\/\/boker.de\/en\/collections\/thomas-krug.oembed","provider":"Böker Solingen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
