Boker's two-hand opening Turbine Forty-Two knife is another stellar knife in the
Turbine series. It features a 4mm thick blade, made of the new Cronidur 30 premium stainless steel (see below). The blade locks open with a 1.5 mm liner lock tab that is set in the the CNC machined AlMgSi1 frame. The handle has finger grooves for a comfortable and secure grip. The pocket clip allows tip-up or tip-down carry for added convenience.
Cronidur 30 is the latest of the premium steels coming out of the space shuttle program, and Boker is the first to have it available to the sporting knives industry. Cronidur 30 was developed for use in the aircraft and aerospace applications, where component durability, reliability and long life are a must. Cronidur 30 is superior in corrosion resistance to 440C stainless steel. Large carbides evident in other high grade steels do not exist in Cronidur 30. Instead, there is a homogenous structure of finely dispersed carbon nitrides. With a Rockwell hardness of 58 and the blade composition needed, these blades will sharpen and hold an edge unlike any other steel currently available. This premium steel is now available in Boker's Turbine Forty-Two.
