Boker Plus Knives: AK-47 Anniversary
Capitalism at its best!
For the 70:th anniversary of the AK-47 assault rifle Böker Plus have designed a range of anniversary editions for all fans and collectors of knives.
The blades are made of the CTS-XHP steel with fine satining of the blade. There is an anniversary logotype on the blade.
General Mikhail Kalashnikov was a longtime friend of ours, and the Kalashnikov series of knives have become a fixture in our lineup over the years. For the 70th anniversary of the Automat Kalashnikov 47 assault rifle, we wanted to offer fans and collectors of these knives an especially exclusive model.
The aluminum handle is made in gun metal gray and there is a pocket clip to keep the knife where you want it.

Shouldn't it have been made of stamped steel and riveted together?
