Best Friends Forever?

No, of course the abbreviation BFF does not stand for this romantic idea of eternal friendship. Rather, “Barlow Frontpocket Fixed” should be meant here – at least this describes this compact fixed absolutely precisely. Here you get a pocket knife in the true sense of the word – just not for folding.

The design of the BFF comes from none other than Lucas Burnley, who now has numerous designs of his knives produced by Böker.

The handle of the BFF is so universally shaped that both small and somewhat larger hands can easily find room here. Only if you have exceptionally large paws, it could possibly be tight here. The rough micarta gives a great visual contrast to the brass pins. If you want to attach a bead, you can do so thanks to the large hollow rivet at the end of the handle.

For the steel for the full-length blade, Böker have chosen AEB-L this time. This stainless alloy was originally used for the production of razor blades and takes on an incredible sharpness. The saber grind of the blade and the small swedge towards the tip, give the blade a look that is somewhat reminiscent of the knives from the colonial era of the USA – only in a handy pocket size. To make the BFF live up to its name, Böker have designed a leather sheath that you can “clip” to the hem of a jeans pocket thanks to a steel clip. So this little everyday companion is always within reach when you need it.
