Heckler & Koch Alpha

The traditional German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch, in addition to its firearms range, has developed a tactical knife under the same criteria that is manufactured by hand at the Boker Knife Manufatory Solingen. Many functional and design elements of the HK MK23 and its successor the HK USP were adopted.

For example, the handle scales are made of the same glass-fibre reinforced plastic as the pistol grips and have the same non-slip surface. The thumb stud on both sides corresponds to the magazine release of the HK USP.

The bead blasted blade is made of X-15T.N., a nitrogen-alloyed steel that is particularly resistant to corrosion. The edge retention is also above average with a Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC. The blade of the Boker Alpha is locked by a linerlock. The tactical knife can be completely dismantled for cleaning. With left- and right-side mountable clip made of round spring steel.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
