The War Toad friction folder is the first knife Geoff of TuffKnives ever made. Geoff began his knife career by customizing production knives for others. Word of his skills spread quickly and in no time, Geoff had a full time gig. The natural progression was for him to eventually design and make his own knives, and that brings us to the War Toad from Boker! With the break-out success of his custom versions, Boker presents the production War Toad at a fraction of the price with custom styling.
The Boker War Toad features a fantastic looking satin finished blade with complex grinds rarely seen in a production knife. The true chisel-ground blade sports a hollow-ground primary, flat secondary grind and a detail grind along the spine. This blade needs to be seen in person to comprehend how beautiful these grinds are!
The handle is comprised of a textured black G10 front, titanium back and titanium spacer. Geoff wanted to keep the handles simple, allowing the end user to customize the knife if they wish. A nod to his roots.
For those not familiar with friction folders, this is a non-locking knife. Once opened, the extended tang of the blade nestles between the two handle slabs. The hand then acts as a lock, not allowing the blade to close.
