Boker Black Widow Kalashnikov Dagger Automatic Knife (3.25" Red D2)

Classic knife. It's got a powerful spring that always deploys the blade with a solid "whack" that is deeply satisfying. Great ergonomics, fits my hand well, and locks up tight. I love the Black Widow color scheme, although that blood red pocket clip may be a bit too flashy for some.

I really like these Kalashnikov knives. The action is smooth and fast. The blades are sharp and there are several designs to choose from. They have good finishes and colors. And the price is right.

It's not a Microtech but you also get your money's worth with this Boker….a great first auto for my Son...

Snappy, smooth, great looking. Can't put it away.

When I saw Blade HQ advertise this knife on their Instagram I knew I had to get it right away. The red and black color scheme is executed well. When I received the knife I was very pleased. It has a very snappy action and something about the blade shape just does it for me.

Great action , great lockup ,great centering , great colors on this black widow knife , just buy it you cant not like this awesome knife !!!

This is my first Boker knife and I couldn’t be happier. It feels incredibly good in the hand. The blade deploys with an authoritative snap that’s very satisfying. It was nice and sharp out of the box. And who can’t appreciate a box in the shape of an AK mag? Haha. As I’ve read in other reviews, the seals were broken on my box as well but im assuming that was done by the fine folks at BladeHQ to insure the product was in good working order. If that’s the case than i can certainly appreciate that. The only bad thing about this knife is it’s addictive nature as I’m currently awaiting the arrival of my 3rd along with extra springs just in case.

Smooth, swift, stealth

Good job Ben! XD

i prefer its original name "RED ROCKET"

These Kalashnikov can be addicting! You can't just have one. It's a great edc. Very snappy action too! I love these auto!

Can't go wrong, especially for the price!! Strong spring, blade deploys without issue. The button was gritty. Took knife apart and there were tooling marks on the surface that contacts the blade. Chucked button into power drill and used 1000 grit to wet sand, and followed up with polish. Very slight warp in blade. Still gets 5 stars. It is a 50 dollar knife. If it was a 200 dollar knife, it would be different.

Great knife, for the money, and in general. I love the clip, and the snappy action. After some practice, I was able to close one-handed quite easily. It did come quite dull, but I was planning on re-profiling it anyway, so no problem to me. Excellent knife! Would be a great gift to anyone.

There's not much to say: the Boker Kalashnikov is both affordable and high-quality for an automatic knife. The red and black color scheme looks amazing and that snap from the fully-automatic action is satisfying every time. The blade comes rather sharp out of the box, and the length of both the blade and handle will practically fit any hand. Ergonomically, it sits well in my hand and I would buy again.

Tried and true, my love for Böker lives on with this beautiful BHQ EXCLUSIVE design. 11/10 great knife would recommend to ANYONE.

Very attractive form and fit. Button is discrete and safe, but pushes open smoothly without drag. Spring is powerful enough to slam the blade open. No sluggish pokey dime-store novelty knife. Does not disappoint!

Works great. Solid auto. Worth every penny. Great for the price. Feels great in the hand.

Very nice knife the red and black look great the action is fast strong and positive the engraving is well done also I am very pleased with this knife

This is a great knife. Sharp, awesome looking, and deploys quickly and smoothly. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an automatic

very smooth and fast opening and a very sharp blade

Color scheme is really striking. Knife is a standout.

Initially out of box, and every once in a while after hours in my pocket knife will not deploy. Simply fix by flicking wrist while opening, or wiggling the blade before engaging the button. Nice and sharp and easily sharpened. Kickback you can feel. Not too forceful but pleasantly strong. Might get a mini version of the Kalashnikov Auto

I wanted to adore this knife - but the action is really just okay. The button deployment seems to stick on the first go, and needs more than fine tuning out of the box. It has a great look with the black and red, but isn't something I'd rely on to have my back when I needed it. While it will keep a spot in my box, rarely will it find a home in my pocket.

Knife arrived today and both seals were broken on the box. At first the knife wouldn't open, after it warmed up it was fine. Why would they send open boxes, first thought it was a return ? Not good business.

My second Boker Red Slasher. For the price, you can't go wrong with this offering. Love the Snappy Action and Blood Red Blade & Trim. Sharp, Fast and Reliable. This one deserves to be carried daily. Best friend or worst enemy. A+++ Well Done Again Blade HQ!

I bought this more for the unique look than for use. The black and red is an attractive look. It's chunky and strong just like a Kalashnikov AK47 or AK74. The blade is etched with Kalashnikov 74. It definitely snaps open with authority, a trait Kalashnikov's are know for. This is a good value for the price.

This is a beast of a knife with a great look ... Very quick release with an audible "clank" ... And you better have a good grip on it ... Love it!

Good looking knife. I collect unique knives... This one meets the criteria. It looks impressive and works the same. A great addition to my collection.

All three of my Boker Automatic knives were received with the factory box seal already cut. Why? Other knives I have purchased from Blade HQ have also been opened. This particular Boker does not seem to be as sharp as the others. But the mechanism works and I'll use my stone. Didn't get the promised HQ button either. Oh well.

I received this knife as a gift and I immediately noticed something was off. When I push the button it feels scratchy and rough, also when it doesn't open all the way. It opens maybe a centimeter and stops, I have to push very hard to get the blade to open. I like the design and the style of the blade but the action is just frustrating.

Serious blade play. I have three of these(various blade styles/color combos) and an XXL, all with the same blade play issue. When the blade is deployed in locked position, there is a considerable amount of blade play side to side. The rest is all awesome. Feels great in hand, very snappy/solid deploy & cool color combos. For the money it’s an ok buy, but given the blade play I feel like I’d be replacing it soon if I used it often. For that, it’s not used often.

The knife is great looking but past that, not much! I was disappointed with how sharp it was out of the box. I was cutting a green pepper and had to push just to get it to cut. That blade should go through a pepper like a hot knife through butter. I was also disappointed with the opening. It definitely did not have a quick snap open. This will be my last Boker purchase!

I still carry and heavily use my original (likely ten years old) Boker sporting the Pohl Design logo and lock (before they were sued) and it has held more black on the handle than this new Black Widow I carried for only a couple weeks. I'm not sure were the defect is in quality control, BladeHQ or Boker, but I'm rethinking buying these any more.
