Boker Applegate A-F 12B

The various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have been convincing special forces all over the world for years and have emerged as an icon among tactical knives. The knife goes back to the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from World War II and was designed by Col. Rex Applegate. The elite soldier coordinated secret operations throughout Europe during the war and even became President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal guard. He trained Allied Special Forces in close combat and founded the "School for Spies and Assassins" in today's Camp David. Later he continued to work as a consultant and trainer, wrote numerous books about close quarter combat and began to develop and improve the perfect combat knife.

The Boker Applegate-Fairbairn Black is the official combat knife of German special forces. The deployment forces of the police and the military appreciate the special advantages of the completely black version in use. The fiberglass-reinforced handle with integrated stainless steel weights rests solidly in your hand, the brass cross-guard and the 440C blade with black titanium-aluminum-nitride coating can handle every task. Delivery includes a Kydex sheath and a large Tek-Lok.
