Böker Plus Atlas OD Green Slim, reduced, and exactly why it works so well. The Böker Plus Atlas OD Green doesn’t try to be more than it is. A full-metal EDC stripped down to the essentials – flat, lightweight, and reliable in everyday use. The coated stainless steel handle in OD Green gives it a subtle, slightly military-inspired look without being over the top. Paired with the dark-coated blade and black hardware, the result is a clean and cohesive design: understated, but far from boring. The drop point blade made from Swedish 12C27 fits perfectly into this concept. Corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain, and quick to resharpen – a steel that simply works without demanding attention. Opening is done the classic way via nail nick. As a slipjoint, the Atlas keeps things intentionally simple and controlled, staying true to traditional pocket knives. No lock, no drama – just a tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Thanks to its low weight and slim profile, the Atlas carries exceptionally well. It practically disappears in your pocket and is right there when you need it. This version is exclusively available through selected specialist dealers. Not something you’ll find everywhere – and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.

Böker Plus Atlas Backlock Big The Atlas by Böker Plus has been a staple in many EDC setups for years. Slim, straightforward and exactly why people keep coming back to it. With the Atlas Backlock Big, this classic gets the upgrade many have been waiting for: more size and a true locking mechanism. With an overall length of 21 cm, the knife feels noticeably more substantial in hand. You get more grip, more control and can handle more demanding cutting tasks with confidence. It simply feels more like a proper tool—without becoming bulky. The backlock is what really makes the difference here. Proven, robust and intuitive, it adds the level of security you want when putting pressure on the blade—without overcomplicating the design. At the same time, the Atlas stays true to its roots. Reduced to the essentials, slim in the pocket and always ready when you need it. The 12C27 blade fits perfectly into this concept: corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain and quick to resharpen. Exactly the kind of steel you want in a knife that’s meant to be used, not just carried. The Atlas Backlock Big is not a showpiece. It’s the Atlas—just with more substance, for those who wanted a bit more size and security. Highlights 21 cm overall length – more grip and control Backlock mechanism for secure use Evolution of the popular Atlas classic Slim, everyday carry-friendly design 12C27 steel – corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain, reliable edge retention Perfect as a straightforward EDC with more substance

Compact EDC Fixed Blade – Design by Alex Kremer Blade made from N690 steel Handle scales crafted from black Richlite (interchangeable) Kydex sheath including clip Böker x Daily Knives x Alex Kremer collaboration Something like this has never been seen in the German knife scene before: the oldest knife manufacturer in the world teams up with the guys from Daily Knives (also known for their Swiss Army knife scales under the name Daily Customs) and knifemaker Alex Kremer. This unique collaboration is symbolized by the three maker logos featured on the top of the blade. The idea behind the AK1 was to create a knife that perfectly hits the sweet spot between practical size and comfortable carry. The modern design clearly reflects the unmistakable style of Alex Kremer. To achieve low weight and excellent cutting performance, the blade thickness was set at 2.5 mm, allowing it to glide smoothly and efficiently through cutting tasks. Together, Böker, Alex Kremer, and Daily Knives chose proven N690 steel for this project. The versatile drop point blade shape ensures universal usability. The tip sits slightly above the knife’s center axis, offering a well-balanced mix of precision and durability.

Why so Serious? The Aux MFG Tsume – Japanese for “claw” – is a compact fixed blade that belongs exactly where you need it: in your pocket. Handmade in the USA. Compact. Direct. No unnecessary extras. And yes – it’s intentionally a fixed blade. No lock. No mechanism to fiddle with. Just draw it and cut. The hawkbill blade made from AEB-L is built for pull cuts. Opening packages, slicing cord, cutting zip ties – the curved edge bites into the material immediately. No slipping. No readjusting.  AEB-L is a perfect match here: fine-grained, tough, easy to resharpen. A steel that doesn’t show off – it simply performs. The handle draws inspiration from traditional Japanese wrapping – but this version adds a dose of Joker energy. Genuine green ray skin underneath a sealed purple cord wrap. The texture provides real grip, and the wrap feels surprisingly solid in hand. Not decorative. Functional. With character. And yes – it tends to put a slightly mischievous grin on your face. It comes with a custom-fitted leather sheath with clip. Secure in your pocket. On your belt. In your bag. Small enough to disappear. Solid enough to stay exactly where it should. Compact. Aggressive. Thought through. The Tsume proves that a small fixed blade is often faster into action than any folder. And that’s exactly what makes it so good.

It comes with a precision-fit Boltaron sheath that keeps the Tsume safe – whether you carry it in your pocket, on your belt, or in your pack. And because looks matter too, the Tsume is available in four different stingray skin variants – orange, black, white, and green. There’s a version for every taste and every EDC setup.

Classic Everyday Hero with a Luxurious Upgrade You know the classic Swiss Army Knife – practical, reliable, always at hand.

It starts with the iconic Victorinox Spartan in the black Onyx version – the knife that has been a perfect everyday companion for decades, featuring 12 useful tools and a compact design. For this special edition, the handle scales have been replaced with Brass from Daily Customs, hand-silvered, and finished with an antique look – a style that feels elegant, warm, and unique.

Cobalt Blue – Subtle, but Distinct Sometimes you don’t need neon yellow or toxic green to stand out. This Spyderco UK Penknife comes in rich Cobalt Blue G10 – subtle enough for everyday carry, yet distinctive enough that you’ll enjoy pulling it out of your pocket. The UKPK was originally designed to comply with stricter European knife laws. It opens one-handed via the signature Spyderco Round Hole, but the blade does not lock. Instead, it relies on a strong back spring – a classic slipjoint construction. Functional, straightforward, and perfectly suited for daily use. The approximately 7.5 cm blade in this version is made from SPY27, Spyderco’s proprietary steel. It offers a well-balanced mix of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening – exactly what you want in real-world use. The high full flat grind ensures clean, efficient cutting performance rather than brute-force wedging. The G10 handle scales make the knife slightly heavier than the FRN version, but they also provide a noticeably more solid, premium feel in hand. More substance, without becoming bulky.

A slipjoint done right. The Slippy Kraken combines smart design, everyday legality, and real cutting performance. Minimalist, modern, and ready for your pocket. Piratech Slippy Kraken – The Slipjoint, Reimagined The Slippy Kraken isn’t a throwback to old-school knives – it’s a bold redesign. Piratech has taken the slipjoint concept, broken it down, and rebuilt it with modern tech and clever engineering. The result is a knife that’s legal to carry in most parts of Germany – and still plays in the top league when it comes to materials and function. This isn’t the knife you carry just because you have to. This is the one you want to carry. Tool-free inlay swapping with MagSnap Thanks to a magnetic mechanism, the blue richlite inlays stay rock-solid during use but can be changed in seconds – no tools, no hassle. Ideal if you like switching things up from time to time. Recurved backspring meets ergonomic design The spring is reverse-tensioned – sounds weird, feels great. This construction allows for a naturally curved handle without sacrificing mechanical stability. It fits your hand like it was made just for you. 118-degree mid-stop – smarter than the standard Most slipjoints stop at 90 degrees. Sounds fine, but in practice it puts your fingers at risk. The Slippy Kraken uses a 118° stop, meaning the blade is further away from your fingers if it ever starts to close unintentionally. Small detail, big safety bonus – especially when applying thumb pressure or during closing. Spring tension adjustment – your knife, your feel Crisp and snappy or smooth and easy? You decide. The backspring tension is fully adjustable, giving you total control over the action. Compact spring, more usable blade Because of the smart internal design, more space is available for the blade. You’re getting full performance in a slipjoint-friendly format – no compromises necessary. The Slippy Kraken isn’t a backup solution. It’s proof that a slipjoint can be modern, capable, and completely ready for daily carry – with no trade-offs in design, feel, or function.

Limited Edition Small fixed blade with key ring Knife and bottle opener in one   Bottle opener - hatchet - key chain - knife Is it a knife? A mini hatchet? Is it a pry bar? A bottle opener? Sort of a bit of everything. The Bottle Butcher is one of THE top sellers of BergBlades. This little two-finger knife fits on every key ring or comfortably in the watch pocket of your jeans. With a blade thickness of a whopping 5mm and a cutting edge of 3.1cm, this small fixed blade really is extremely compact. The shape of the blade is clearly reminiscent of a classic butcher's hatchet. The partial flat grind allows the knife to cut verry well while remaining ultra sturdy, for example to be able to do some light pry work. The highlight is clearly the cut-out on the back of the blade, which serves as a cap lifter. By the way, the knife does not even have to be pulled out of the well fitted Kydex - the sheath also has a matching recess to immediately and safely be able to use the bottle opener. To make the Bottle Butcher as insensitive to humidity as possible, the very rust-resistant 440C steel and Aluminium Handles were used in the construction this knife. To put this compact knife through its paces, we simply used the Bottle Butcher for one week straight for literally ALL cutting tasks. No matter if its cardboard, string, fruit or pizza: in in doubt this little hatchet is ready for anything! The Bottle Butcher comes with a Kydex and a robust key ring.

A Steel Upgrade for a Classic Quick quiz: What does the “MG” in this GMF1 variant actually stand for? Micarta Green? Magnacut Goodness? Honestly, it’s not entirely clear – and it’s not really important. What matters is what this knife delivers. With the GiantMouse GMF1-MG, one of GiantMouse’s most popular fixed blades finally comes with a steel that sets the benchmark right now: Magnacut. Highly corrosion-resistant, exceptionally edge-retentive, and perfectly suited for everyday carry – a modern super steel that belongs exactly where the GMF1 has always lived: in real, daily use. Everything that made the GMF1 a top seller remains unchanged: excellent ergonomics a lightweight yet robust construction a high flat grind running nearly to the spine for clean, efficient cutting performance What’s new are the bolted green Micarta handle scales. They provide noticeably more grip, a warmer feel in hand, and exactly the kind of tool-focused character many fans have been asking for. The package is completed with blasted screws and a flat, robust leather sheath that carries comfortably and discreetly in everyday life. Sheath: The GMF1-MG is supplied with a high-quality leather sheath. Please note: The optional Kydex sheath is not compatible with this Micarta version. Conclusion: The GMF1-MG is not a gimmick and not a stylistic detour. It’s the GMF1 many people have been waiting for – featuring modern steel, honest materials, and the same uncompromising everyday usability.
