Boker Plus Strike, Mini Strike, & Stubby Strike Review

[@ThisIsDavesGarage]

I love the stubby strike size. Fits great in the pocket and it looks amazing.

[@OhioConcealed]

The Boker Strike is a really good knife for the money. Tough design, decent steel and great ergos. I'll admit I'm a boker fan, but they seem to listen to consumers and bring products to the market that people want at a good price point. If I could only have one, I would go with the Strike Plus...

[@xlilnetx]

I like the look of the mini the medium sized one I would get it if they had tanto blade

[@acid6urns]

hell it’s an even better deal on bladeops rn, they have an exclusive cpm s30 model on sale for 50$

[@DnuHarmS]

The distance the tip of the blade of the Strike has to travel through the arc is much greater so it actually does go slower in terms of time required to traverse the full 180 degrees vs. the tip of the Stubby which isn't travelling nearly as far. And science for the win.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

THESE are so much more substantial than the kal74. The stubby is soooooooo killer.

[@typedef_]

6:20 the spring torque unloads into a smaller moment of inertia resulting in greater acceleration.

[@grahamgibson6292]

Correct

[@pugchronicals1374]

Less mass = Higher velocity

[@justme4998]

im not a knife smith but im guessing the stubby snaps harder cause it has less blade material to kick out....i guess...i dunno. but i LOVE D2 steel! thats a great price for D2. cant wait to get my hands on the full sized strike...

[@flatasacueball6326]

It's physics. All the weight of the blade is closer to the pivot, so it moves easier/faster. Even with the same blade mass, the shorter blade would be snappier, because it's shorter.

[@gizmocarr3093]

I have older versions of the Kalashnikov that have blade locks that lock the blade when open or closed. They don’t have pocket clips; I was surprised the new ones are missing this feature. I liked the lock because it was not obvious unless you knew how to unlock it. Making it less likely little curious hands would not be able to get hurt if they happen to pick it up. Do the Boker Strike series safety locks work the same? I wish the new models Kalashnikov still had the locking feature. I like the Strike for having this option for both use and safety. Now all you need is a neck carry sheath to make them even better.

[@JoshThompson25]

I have a strike in d2. OD handle copper blade. Love it

[@Felix-hs5yn]

in my opinion the stubby strike is the best .its small,compact and it has the best design

[@MiteyMax9]

For working in a lumber yard with plenty of straps needing undone and such, which would you guys recommend? I'm new to the knife scene!

[@acid6urns]

you want a folder or fixed blade? you can pickup a mora fixed blade for literally 30$ all the way down to like 11$ and they’re AMAZING quality and if it breaks you ain’t out much

[@acid6urns]

for folders? boker, kershaw, and crkt all make budget friendly good blades. also QSP makes good ones too. i personally woukd go for something in maybe D2 steel or something similar to 8cr13mov, d2 if you aren’t worried abt rust bc it holds an edge really well. but 8cr13 is stainless while d2 is tool steel

[@mattkandel2449]

Let's all hope for a Strike XL some day!

[@airwolf2001]

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[@redacted6115]

But are they durable? I actually use my knives daily for many different things and often have to re sharpen them once every couple weeks or so. If I need to stab and chop at some wood with this will it hold up? What about pry strength?

[@CapFlipGaming]

Get an Izula II if you're going to put it through some real hell. I wouldn't do stuff like that with an auto.

[@redacted6115]

@@CapFlipGaming never seen an izula before it looks nice, however, Ive never been a fan of fixed blades. I like the compactness of an auto. I like the look of the izula tho for sure

[@acid6urns]

@@redacted6115 man if you’re planning to chop anything then a folder ain’t really the best option. but if you’re intent on a folder look at some of cold steel’s larger folder with the triad lock. it’s one of the strongest locks on a folder and cold steel makes their knives to be beat to hell and still work

[@ZkHeat]

my state doesnt have knife length laws, but i really like how the stubby looks

[@rickm4295]

I have all of them but the stubby....The mini one is for splinters and the big one is more of my truck knife

[@yahiraburto6987]

Are you able to conceal carry the boker stubby in CA?

[@mark_vs___]

Yessir

[@michael702]

Is this an otf knife or normal

[@TheIrcbully]

I like the stubby

[@iforsakenhd6246]

Damn, just picked mine up (Strike Plus) Saturday and it has AUS-8.

[@servantofyeshua2313]

Rip. Aus 8 is still great tho

[@hpgdawnpatrol9456]

Great review! Ordered mine today

[@collectorman7]

bonjour , belle vidéo , combien de temps pour être livré en France ? merci

[@blakelandon9572]

Can you review harlock mini

[@TacDyne]

The D2 is fairly new. Mine is around a year old and it's 154CM.

[@brianf9619]

Where did you get 154cm ? They all used to be AUS8 and now some are D2 ....

[@brettt1268]

I like all of them but I live in Cali so the stubby is what I’m buying

[@flatasacueball6326]

I think I'm going with the strike mini.

[@ibertshanka]

I love the stubby ordered one yesterday lol👌🏾

[@Mark-sd7fc]

What is that 4 digit number on the base of the blade under the boker

[@silkroad1201]

I have 2 regulars and a mini and on one of the regulars and the mini, the safety kinda jiggles around which is super annoying. They're all brand new, has anyone else experienced this?

[@doktorb3at]

You can disassemble the knife and find a screw holding the safety in place. Just tighten it and you're good to go. While putting it back together, put some blue Locktite on the screws.

[@greenwolf2477]

Great comparison. Thanks!

[@ixstalkerxi2606]

I just ordered the Stubby strike with the green handle and copper color blade 😎

[@hellcat4384]

Stubby 110%

[@Void-lw4js]

i ordered mine today and i bought the strike and i dont know how big it is.

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

GET MORE STUBBY'S IN COLORS!

[@-SiA-MAN-]

👍

[@G1FREAKZ]

i choose all and i would carry all at the same time🤣✌

[@salmonisyummiyeet163]

Just picked up a Strike in brass, it has no safety, but it has AUS-8 steel to make up for it

[@acid6urns]

why aus 8? they have a cpm s30 model auto for around the same price as the d2 model if you really want stainless , and s30 is honestly objectively better than d2 or aus 8 but aus 8 will need a lot of sharpening compared to d2 or s30

[@davidwarner6755]

These look very similar to the Benchmade Claymore

[@Brandon-ob8ul]

First knife looks huge in here hands lol

[@JohnNesbit1957]

That was cute and surprising about the all-black coloring design being, "super sexy". Very cool.

[@cesarebeccaria7641]

If warranty matters, Boker has lifetime, but...you must send a check for $15 for a warranty repair. So, my Boker Plus Strike cost me $50 in January 2021. End of November very little use over the ten months--mostly just fiddling while at my desk--and it's dead. No spring action at all. Not weak, just gone. And...while Boker USA sells parts, they will not sell the spring. Can't decide if $15 is good money after bad or just a fluke that after maybe 75 openings, the life of the spring is reached. The warranty page at Boker warns that the warranty is void if the knive has been disassembled, so I can't even take it a part to investigate. There is also a caution that non-USA manufactured automatic knives are not covered AND that non-USA manufacture knives sent to Boker for repair will be destroyed. I guess Boker China is more China than Boker, eh?

[@Jerem0y]

I was suprised to have found what looked to be legit Broker manufactured in knives at my local village store in the Philippines

[@donfierro777]

Stub yum 🙃

[@drawncept8391]

Size. Girth. Length. Someone has to say it.

[@brianf9619]

I think my Strikes are a bit snappier than the AK47's , anyway you better get used to using that lock , because the button is pretty high and it Will Open in your pocket , it happened to me at work and it just about split my finger in half right up the side of my nail about an inch from the tip past my cuticle , and it didn't tickle , lol .....

[@ron5082]

That is not deep carry
