Category: Knife of the Week (Page 34 of 35)

If you follow the Badass Knife of the Week, you’ll notice that the knives trend toward the simple yet effective models without much fluff. The Damascus from Boker Plus eschews that trend, but with good reason.

This knife is highly functional but it’s also darn beautiful.

From our experience with this model, people love talking about and looking at this knife, so be prepared for gawking if you carry it around.

The knife’s mesmerizing, 71-layer Damascus steel blade and bolsters look incredible in person, and the layers shine through like wood grain.

And just because it’s handsome doesn’t mean it’s not any less useful. The 3 1/8-inch, super-sharp blade is just as functional as Boker’s more rugged models.

The beauty doesn’t end there though.

An unexpected element of wildness is added to the knife through the genuine stag handle.

The handle also offers some ergonomic curves that fit the hand perfectly and the balance of the knife is great. At an overall length of 7 inches, the knife complete with a clip-point blade makes a solid EDC.

Whether you’re looking for a knife to carry around for everyday tasks or want a new blade for your collection, this folder is one badass knife that can successfully manage multiple personalities.

Like a fly in a web, you’ll be held captive by this week’s Badass Knife of the Week.

The Spyderco Delica 4 is an amazingly versatile knife that’s somewhat of an enigma because it can easily appeal to all of us crazy knife knuts out there but also appeal to non-knife experts.

Part of the reason for the wide appeal of the Delica 4 is its great design.

The Delica, along with the Endura, is one of the oldest product lines at Spyderco, so the company’s been able to tweak and perfect the folder. It has a great balance, with the mid-lock and 7.125-inch overall length.

Further making its case as one of the best EDC options available, this Delica 4 boasts a nice 2.88-inch ZDP-189 steel blade. The steel is known for retaining an incredibly sharp edge even after repeated use.

The version we’re highlighting features a good-looking green FRN handle, but the beauty of the Delica 4 is that it comes in a variety of colors to suit your personality.

Some additional flourishes on the knife, such as the well-placed choil, comfortable grip, reversible clip and patented Spyder hole further prove that the Delica 4 is one badass blade.
