Boker Alluvial ~ Great Budget Automatic With A Problem!

[@steely_mike]

Suspenseful, disassembly and reassembly. I really like the lines on this knife and for $70. It’s a Win

[@A.J.Collins]

I have found that when taking things apart which have springs that might fly across the room, I like to put the item in a large, clear plastic bag (zip-lock) and then disassemble the item.

[@gideonstactical]

Great idea!!

[@mooseknucklesmosley]

That is a good idea. Cuz I'm the king of losing some teeny tiny part when I take apart a knife...hell..when I disassemble anything

[@8RedBear5]

Having lost and thankfully finding one of my favorite knifes because of the pocket clip snagging on something and being pulled out of the pocket, I've started not even using the pocket clip. I tie a piece of para cord to the knife and attach it to my belt and/or let it sleep in the bottom of my pocket.

[@adamknapper2684]

Aaron, this was a really informative and educational video. Good job. I would love seeing more like this where you dive into something new and challenging and take us along for the show. Keep it up!

[@gideonstactical]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@f1fork]

Except for the edits not showing the assembly process ;) …

[@JohnKlopp]

I was wondering how difficult taking a Boker auto apart and putting it back together would be before I tried to do so on mine. Thanks Aaron!

[@gideonstactical]

Glad to help!

[@bobinmontana777]

I just tap the clip close to the 90 degree bend and fix it easily. (Sometimes use edge of book and push at same spot.)

[@alexandrearnau1714]

I just got one of these a week ago, and so far im digging it. Autos have only been kegsl in my state for about a year, so I'm investigating different options.

[@Revenant483]

Thanks for showing off the Boker Lundquist Alluvial. I like it and will have to get one. I have 2 Boker Kalashnikovs an OD Green XHP Stonewash and a Black OTF Dagger.

[@GaryHorn]

Thanks for looking out for us lefties! I would have considered purchasing this one.

[@Sherrodja]

Actually, you can fix that by placing the pommel against a solid surface. Put strong pressure against the solid surface and then rock the handle towards the clip side. This will tweak the clip bringing it back against the handle scale. 👍🏻

[@nicholasbergman9965]

WOW!!! You did a great job. I would have totally messed that up. Kudos.

[@RookCAF]

BladeOps may have the springs if they use the same one from the AK74. Worth a look I didn't see a close up of the spring

[@ninjaj1]

That was fun to watch! Thanks for the entertainment!

[@gideonstactical]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@LanceJoshlin]

I fixed my pocket clip on this knife by putting something under the bend of the clip that’s a little thicker than the bend and then tweaking it down toward the scales of the knife. Worked fine, but the pocket clip on these seems super soft.

[@leeweisberg4045]

Great video keep them coming!

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Aaron, as an EDC, for EDC tasks, thats where is shines IMO. I reckon It really would be a last resort weapon. What a bummer with the clip, you'd have to think, if it can happen once............................. Cheers Duke.

[@gideonstactical]

Totally!

[@palerider7171]

13:21 Well there watch the video and say: “Nine, nine, nine warranty for you… you’re out of ze messer!” Thanks for sharing!

[@gideonstactical]

Hahaha ya, sucks

[@palerider7171]

@@gideonstactical yes it does!

[@bigjim55able]

I just ordered the mat. I've been using my rifle mat, but this looks really nice.

[@gideonstactical]

Nice!!

[@argyle1812]

Ugh such a shame on that clip. Glad to see you actually doing reviews instead of purely tabletops like a lot of other places do.

[@gideonstactical]

Thank so much! That’s what I try to do every week 👍

[@donsmith8300]

I really like that! Looks like a knife Boba Fett would carry! 😂

[@rickyhurtt5568]

Ooorrr you could just order one of the couple of ganzo for less than $30 that works great

[@randyreviewsit]

after 2 weeks mine snagged on things and it bent. I contacted Boker and they said they have no parts for these as they are discontinued and they told me that they wouldn't void my warranty for me doing my own repairs.. Pretty big red flag for me, I wish i would have bought a kershaw, or anything else.

[@sheamusmckinney914]

Knife Center sells new springs, id pick up a pack just to have spares

[@sonofcolossus7766]

hello, i like your vids. but i wonder if you have ever tried a Kiku Matsuda Knife? i have one with konvex grind for about 12 years and since the first day im satisfied. Its made out of OU-31 PM tool-steel btw, to not be confused, this knife is in hard use and not in a showcase

[@gideonstactical]

I will have to look into it. Thanks for giving me the heads up. I really appreciate it!

[@sonofcolossus7766]

@@gideonstactical you are welcome

[@sonofcolossus7766]

just masterpieces in quality and optics, only to be topped, if you can make your own knifes

[@sethprice241]

Really cool. Great price. I would just put a little dot of nail polish on the button. Red seems appropriate.

[@gideonstactical]

Perfect 👍

[@andygould2575]

Can you do a review of your Sharpal?

[@gideonstactical]

Yes coming soon!

[@JohnDoe-k8z]

Great job Gideon, keep up the great work!

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks so much John!!

[@okieobw]

Regarding the clip I had the same thing happen with my kwaiken auto. Sadly I didn't really pay much mind and I'm pretty sure there is now a hobo with a really cool automatic knife. B.

[@corneliusadventurers5821]

Great video!!

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks for watching!

[@f1fork]

All Boker “automatics” have no warranty. They are converted in the US by third parties. Disassemble at will :)

[@herberar]

Don't like that deep indentation in the blade where it locks.

[@derekneumann]

I have one of the Kalashnikovs in CTS-XHP... 😁

[@gideonstactical]

Nice! Love that steel

[@davidtate166]

Should change this design on the clip.yes .

[@TheKalkara131]

Not me hoping he inadvertently made a slo-motion knife

[@gideonstactical]

Haha that was hilarious

[@cmln2413]

No offense but it seems to me there are multiple possibilities to take care of this problem than to dissasemble it. If you tried other options that didn't work? Would have been nice if you included them in the video.

[@Ruizg559]

Anyone know which sharpener is on the table?

[@gideonstactical]

It’s a sharpnal will be doing a video soon

[@clintonlewis1261]

Pass on this one!

[@lonewolf597]

For the time and trouble I would have just bought another one.

[@The4cp]

Amazing for $70

[@MyLawschool]

“A-lu-vi-ell“ as in alluvial soil.

[@karlmoser6923]

Peut-on couper du saucisson ( pas trop dur) avec ce couteau ? 😂

[@krefcenz]

typical Boker, not ambidexterous

[@hi-q2261]

Pocket knives are gimmick 😕

[@Sharp_Behind_The_Edge]

I know that when you disasemble all kind of knives they have to be opened because the pressure of the spring will explode and you can loose the spring and other small things in it!!! Better remove this clip and throw it in the garbage, I really hate this kind of knives with that position of the clip.This Boker is not so good man! I have and prefer the Boker Kalashnekov.

[@rsafree1139]

Great review, I’ve got zero interest in this design though

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks so much for watch 👍

[@timdahl8912]

Given the number of awesome knives out there, this is enough of a reason to not purchase this knife.:(

[@michaelpatriots5702]

I love my autos to bad my democratic useless knifes are dangerous state doesn't. At least I can carry my gravity knife now.

[@gideonstactical]

I love them but I know they are not for everyone!

[@elde667]

A “fix” we didn’t even get to see? FAIL.

[@gideonstactical]

What do you mean took it apart and put it back together and show you what the problem was.

[@markanderson8677]

Just buy the Kalashnikov - no reason to waste your money on this knife.

[@f1fork]

Basically same knife … different shape.

[@paulparadis66]

Or just stop being a cheapskate. Try saving your money for a better knife.

[@gideonstactical]

Hahah, I have plenty of blade that are 3x the price. But some people need budget options

[@megacab]

​@@gideonstactical I appreciate the wide variety of reviews. I have $500 knives, but I just bought a vosteed gator bc I liked the design. Plenty of great budget options out there.

[@paulparadis66]

@@gideonstactical I didn't say expensive. People need to stop dumpster diving.
