By Jim Cobb - March 14, 2025
The Boker Plus Pocket MUK is a remarkable collaboration between custom knifemaker Matthew Gentry and Boker, inspired by the classic Nessmuk knife design. This compact utility blade is perfect for everyday carry (EDC) and outdoor activities.
Specifications and Features
The Pocket MUK features a 2.4-inch Sandvik 12C27 steel blade known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The stonewash finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also helps conceal wear and tear. The contoured brown Micarta handle, measuring 4.29 inches, provides a comfortable grip, although the butt end may require some smoothing for optimal comfort.
Sheath and Carry Options
Included with the knife is a Kydex sheath that initially offers a tight fit, which loosens over time for easier access. The sheath features weep holes to allow moisture to escape, ensuring the blade remains in good condition. A removable pocket clip is also provided for those who prefer a more secure carry option.
Value for Money
Retailing for under $40, the Pocket MUK offers exceptional quality and versatility, making it an excellent choice for both EDC and outdoor use. Its affordability allows enthusiasts to purchase multiple units for different purposes.
Conclusion
Matthew Gentry has designed a fantastic knife with the Pocket MUK, and Boker has executed it beautifully. Whether for food prep, camping, or processing game, this knife is a reliable companion for any outdoor adventure.
