The Automat Kalashnikov 74 holds a legendary status among knife enthusiasts.
It’s known as an inexpensive automatic knife you can buy elsewhere in the world. But if you want to experience the legend of the Boker Plus AK 74 without having to worry about automatic knife restrictions in your area, the latest Badass Knife of the Week is the knife for you.
The Boker Plus Automat Kalashnikov 74 is a manual version of the folder that works like a horse and takes down everything in its path.
Boasting a 3.25-inch blade, the knife is exceptionally versatile and functional. The blade is made from AUS 8 stainless steel, which is tough and corrosion resistant while holding an edge well. It has a spear point blade design with a false edge that makes penetrating more effective with this tool.
A quick look at the handle reveals the inspiration of this knife. The knife is not based off the AK-74 assault rifle; it’s actually based off the AK-74 bayonet fixed blade.
