Boker XXL Kalashnikov Bowie Automatic Knife (4.75" Black)

I waited four months to see it come back in stock. Snapped it up and it was out of stock again 5 minutes later - Boker needs to make more of these, maybe even in a spearpoint!
I don't have huge hands, so it IS a bit big for me normally, but with gloves on in the winter freeze we've had recently it's actually the perfect size.
This thing is dead nuts reliable. I've had it out in the freezing cold, over a hot flame, cutting rope, tape, and all manner of gnarly things, and it. just. works. It's stupid, it's big, it fits perfectly in my heavy cotton sweatpant pockets, and it's replaced the SOG Trident as my EDC knife. And I was able to shave my arm hair with it out of the box. Not bad at all.

I was pleasantly shocked when I received this beauty from the blade gods.

It's absolutely thrilling to feel this beast fire open. It's really impressive how such a huge blade flings open like the smaller autos.

It's easily one of my favorite autos. It's ridiculously--even hilariously--huge, and I LOVE IT!

Glad to see D2 steel over the AUS8 typically used on the original Kalashnikovs.

Also, unlike the regular Kalashnikov, I'm really glad there's only one finger groove. This probably allows more people to adjust for their hand size despite being gargantuan.

I've been a Boker automatic fan, but I'm quickly becoming a fanatic.

Keep up the great work, Boker!

This is a big knife. Spring is fast and strong. Fits my small hand due to well thought out construction. Priced right and well made. My new carry knife. Only complaint is sharpness. Not dull but could be sharper out of the box. Recommended

My first kalashnikov was it's smaller cousin, good knife felt like an upgrade to the XXL. You know this knife is in your pocket, love the deep carry clip, good action on opening the blade, so far locks 100% of the time. Feels good in the hand as big as it is. Like the shape of the blade, not especially sharp but that can be resolved easily. You do want a secure grip when opening, the blade is 4.75 long and a little snappy on opening. A secondary lock to prevent unwanted opening would be a nice to have. Never had one of these open accidentally, but not my typical EDC. Would recommend this knife.

I had bought another one, but it had a weak spring. So I returned it and got another. This one fires perfectly and completes my Kalashnikov collection. Great customer service on the return from Blade HQ.

Great auto. Fits in my jeans pocket and sticks up far enough to grab easily. Shaped and built just like its little brothers from Boker. Just the right kick - big blade would knock it out of your hand if it were really strong. Boker got the balance correct IMHO. Can't beat the price. Another winner from BladeHQ.

It works for me because I am a large man. Smaller folks might have a hard time fitting it into your pocket or manipulating it. I am enjoying it.

very well built just like their smaller versions nice packaging this knife is a handfull

This is Boker is straight so ridiculous that it's 100% necessary.
It's seriously everything you love about the Kalashnikov (human size), but with D2 steel and designed by Paul Bunyan.

This is a big auto. Opens with authority. Solid blade and build. Good price, and comes in a neat box styled like an AK mag.

strong spring deployment for a big blade and not to heavy for its size.the aluminum handle scales are grippy and feel good in hand.good looking bowie shaped blade of sharp d2.now for the bad,after even requesting that they dont open my box and play with my knife before they send it to me my box is open with fingerprints on my knife.secondly boker needed 2 more jimps on the blade spline for thumb traction.why would you only put 2 jimps on the blade spline when at least 4 would be best.i knock off one star for the lacking of 2 jimps

D2 sharpened and after a few minutes on leather strap very sharp! I love Escima ,Kali and this handles great EDC for me it's large but feels great in my pocket . If you like Cold Steel this it in that category BIG and BAD great balance very pleased.Thanks Wolf40

This is the best auto for the price. Was going to add an aftermarket lock made for Boker’s , But after I was playing with it notched that the button below the handle. But my finger nail on my thumb did the trick .

imagine you're being mugged, and you pull this out. the robber'll give you HIS wallet.
