Boker Arbolito/Optima Knives

By Jim Draper

Every hunter knows the importance of a great hunting knife, and if you have ever looked into purchasing a quality knife and done any research, I am sure the name Boker has come up and with good reason.  Boker has been around for over 145 years making hand made knives that not only look great, but also are extremely functional in the field. Recently I picked up a couple of Boker knives myself. First I got the Boker Optima Hunting set which is a great all around folding blade knife with an interchangeable blade system. The Optima comes with your standard blade but also comes with a gut hook, saw blade and a premium belt sheath. The other Boker knife that really caught my attention was the Arbolito Hunters Combo, which is a 8 1/2″ gut hook blade knife and a 5″ caper knife that are both constructed of high quality 440A stainless steel and finished off with a beautiful stag handle. Both come in a handcrafted leather sheath. When a company has been around as long as Boker you can count on quality that will bring you many years of dependable use, not to mention Boker stands behind their knives with a lifetime warranty. So make sure when deciding on your next hunting or all-purpose knife that you check out Boker’s complete lineup at www.bokerusa.com.
