[PRE-ORDER] Boker Germany Daily Knives AK1 Drop Point N690

Designed in collaboration with young knifemaker Alex Kremer and Daily Customs, the Boker Daily Knives AK1 Drop Point N690 is a compact fixed blade EDC knife built around practicality, durability, and modern everyday performance. A purpose-driven evolution of the AK1 series, this model combines premium materials with a clean, functional design suited for users who value reliability and low-maintenance performance.

Born in Fulda, Germany, in 1993, Alex Kremer began making knives at the age of 18. His design philosophy is shaped by his travels through Scandinavia, where simplicity, functionality, and efficient use of materials are key influences. The AK1 Drop Point reflects this approach with its compact profile, robust construction, and focus on essential performance.

The drop point blade is crafted from Böhler N690 steel, offering a balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Well suited for everyday cutting tasks, urban carry, and light outdoor applications, the blade delivers dependable performance while remaining easy to maintain.

The black Richlite handle scales provide a modern, technical appearance while offering excellent durability and a comfortable grip. Resistant to moisture and temperature changes, Richlite is an ideal material for everyday carry. The ergonomic handle design ensures secure handling and precise control during use.

A distinctive feature of the AK1 is the reversible lanyard hole at the end of the handle. When the scales are removed, it can be rotated and concealed within the handle, creating a slimmer and more discreet profile for effortless carry.

Handcrafted at the Boker Manufactory in Solingen, Germany, the Boker Daily Knives AK1 Drop Point N690 showcases precise manufacturing and quality craftsmanship. Complete with a custom-fit Kydex sheath and belt clip, this compact fixed blade EDC knife offers a reliable alternative for those who prefer the strength and simplicity of a fixed blade.
