Böker Plus Nano 42 Media
Published: 12 years ago
Das Taschenmesser Böker Plus Nano beschreitet mit seinem Design völlig neue Wege, und David Curtiss hat uns mit seinem Entwurf auf Anhieb überzeugt. Das Nano zeigt sehr anschaulich, dass Größe und Nutzwert nicht in einem direkten Zusammenhang stehen. Durch die geniale Ergonomie liegt das Nano trotz seiner geringen Größe von gerade einmal 12,1 cm (geöffnet) ausgezeichnet in der Hand und bietet bei einer Vielzahl kleinerer und größerer Schneidarbeiten im Alltag einen ausgezeichneten Grip.

It seems that our Nano 42 needs some more explanation, to avoid any confusion on customer´s side.
As already stated, there´s a need for non-locking knives, due to strict knife laws in several countries. So we made two different versions. The standard model (01BO597) is a frame lock with a steel locking scale, constructionswise working just as any Frame Lock you have seen so far.
For the model "42" (01BO598), we developed a special construction, which is based on the real Frame Lock, but modified in some important points. Our goal was not to create a "fake Frame lock" or a certain look of the mechanism. The way the non-locking model looks is a pure consequence of the construction of that knife.
The idea is basically pretty simple: the blade has an extended tang, which prevents the lock-bar from slipping behind the blade when blade is opened. The lock-bar stays parallel to the blade, and as soon as the blade is fully opened, an additional detent holds the blade open. This gives a certain resistance for closing the blade, but definitely is not rated as a lock, for you just push the blade close, without releasing any mechanism.
The design of the handle with the deep index finger choil provides you with additional safety, for, even if the blade closes accidentally, there´s no contact between the cutting edge and your finger. Thus this knife is a very safe one, even without a lock.
It gives you the comfort of a one hand opener, without interfering with the laws in many countries, like Germany and others, where locking one hand openers are restricted.
By the way, we build our very successful Subcom Folder (Design Chad Los Banos) exactly the same way, so there´s an additional non-locking version of the Subcom available in several variations, all of them marked as models "42".
So the mechanism is well proven for years and thousands of sold knives, and identical to the way the Nano 42 works.
