BFF Packlite CPM M4 Signature Edition

Signature Edition: For collectors and connoisseurs, this is one of only five exclusive examples featuring Lucas Burnley’s engraved signature on the blade.

Minimalist design, uncompromising functionality, and a performance-focused blade steel: the Boker BFF Packlite CPM M4 combines the distinctive design language of US knifemaker Lucas Burnley with a robust full-metal construction. As a fixed-blade skeleton knife and neck knife, this all-metal knife is designed for versatile EDC use, outdoor activities, and reliable carry as a compact backup knife.

The drop-point blade made from CPM M4 with a Rockwell hardness of HRC 63 makes the BFF Packlite particularly appealing to users who prioritize edge retention and wear resistance. CPM M4 is a powder-metallurgy tool steel known for its exceptionally high wear resistance, excellent edge retention, and strong toughness. Its significant carbon, vanadium, molybdenum, and tungsten content promotes the formation of hard carbides, helping the blade maintain a highly functional edge during demanding cutting tasks. The HRC 63 hardness further supports high cutting performance and excellent edge stability. Compared with stainless-oriented knife steels, however, its corrosion resistance is lower, so the blade should be thoroughly dried and maintained after exposure to moisture.

The open full-metal skeleton construction provides a clean, functional appearance and allows for a variety of grip positions. Jimping along the spine helps improve control during precise cutting tasks. Thanks to its compact construction, the knife can be carried as a neck knife, hanging knife, or lightweight EDC knife. The fitted Kydex sheath with ball chain enables convenient, close-to-body carry and flexible carry options.

Whether for everyday use, camping, hiking, or outdoor activities, the Boker BFF Packlite CPM M4 is designed for users looking for a robust fixed-blade knife with high-performance tool steel and distinctive Lucas Burnley styling. The combination of CPM M4, HRC 63, full-metal construction, skeletonized handle, and Kydex sheath makes the BFF Packlite a versatile choice for EDC and outdoor gear.
