Voortrekker

The Boker Plus Voortrekker, built as a friction folder, got its name from the Boer pioneers in the Cape region, who began migrating northeast in 1835. The pocketknife was designed by the South African custom knifemaker J.D. van Deventer. It has a D2 blade with a light stonewash finish that doesn't lock when opened. The closed knife has a protruding spur that helps with opening the blade. When the thumb is placed on the spur while the blade is open, it can be used as securely as a locking knife. The extremely light Voortrekker has a handle of black G10 and does not have a clip, because carrying a clipped friction folder in your pocket is not recommended. Instead, the knife comes with a compact Kydex sheath, so it can be worn as a neck knife.

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.
