Boker Applegate-Fairbairn Boot

'For years, various versions of the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn have proven themselves to special forces around the world and have become an icon among tactical knives. The design traces back to the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from World War II and was developed by Col. Rex Applegate. During the war he coordinated secret operations across Europe and even served as President Franklin D. Roosevelt\'s personal guard. He trained Allied special forces in close combat, founded the "School for Spies and Assassins" at what is now Camp David, and later worked as a consultant and instructor, authored numerous books on close-quarters combat, and continued refining the ideal combat knife. The smaller, more compact version follows the same design concept as its larger counterpart. It features a fiberglass-reinforced Delrin handle with integrated stainless-steel weights, a brass crossguard, and a 440C steel blade. The blade is ground with a typical double-conical dagger grind on one side and a hollow grind on the other. Supplied with a Kydex sheath and a large Tek-Lok.'
