BÖKER PLUS Texas Tooth Pick Flipper Coco

The vast expanses of the prairie, the iconic longhorn cattle, and the boisterous "yee-haw" calls – these are the quintessential elements that define the glorified Western idyll of the US state of Texas, despite its eventful history. In the 19th century, the Texas Tooth Pick knife was a widespread and versatile tool, particularly among farmers and daring soldiers of fortune. Originating as a further development of the Navaja knives brought by Spanish settlers, the Texas version boasts a strikingly long blade and a slender design, making it well-suited for a diverse range of tasks.

From agricultural purposes, such as taking samples to determine the quality of fruits and vegetables, to the intricate process of filleting fish, and even the adrenaline-fueled duels of daredevil duelists, the Texas Tooth Pick served as a true "gentleman's knife," covering a wide spectrum of applications. Boker, the renowned knife manufacturer, has now reinterpreted this popular design, introducing the Urban Texas Tooth Pick, which retains the innovative performance that made the original so sought-after.

The flipper mechanism of the Urban Texas Tooth Pick allows for the smooth and effortless opening of the ball-bearing VG-10 blade, which features a hairline finish. This seamless operation adds a touch of refinement to the daily cutting tasks that the knife is called upon to perform. In contrast to its historical counterpart, the modern gentleman's knife is reliably locked in place with a linerlock, significantly enhancing work safety.

The curved handle scales, crafted from exquisite Cocobolo wood, not only ensure a perfect grip but also lend a classic look to the knife. The tip-up clip, featuring a stonewash finish, is milled from solid wood, completing the overall aesthetic that evokes the spirit of the Wild West.
