Boker Plus Urban Texas Tooth Pick Cocobolo

'Wide prairies, longhorn cattle and a rousing “yee-haw” — today Texas often evokes a romanticized Western image. In the 19th century the Texas Tooth Pick knife was common, especially among farmers and bold adventurers. Evolving from the Spanish Navaja, the Texas variant is defined by an unusually long blade and a slim profile, making it suited to many tasks. From agricultural sampling to assess fruit and vegetable quality, to filleting fish, and even the high-stakes duels of intrepid challengers, this gentleman’s knife served a broad range of uses. Boker gives this classic form a modern update with the Urban Texas Tooth Pick: a VG-10 ball-bearing blade with a hairline finish that opens via a silky-smooth flipper, designed to tackle everyday cutting chores with ease. Unlike its historical ancestor, this model locks securely with a linerlock for greater safety. The curved handle scales are crafted from fine Cocobolo wood for a secure grip and timeless appearance, and the tip-up clip (r) features a stonewash finish and is milled from solid wood. It arrives with a hint of the Wild West.'
