Built on a battlefield-proven legacy, the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn Boot Knife is a compact, purpose-built dagger trusted for its exceptional control, balance, and discreet carry. Inspired by Colonel Rex Applegate’s iconic designs from WWII, this modern iteration pairs historical heritage with high-performance materials. The Applegate-Fairbairn silhouette is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for tactical daggers, and this “Boot” version optimizes that geometry for professionals who require a lower-profile fixed blade without sacrificing the structural integrity of a full-sized combat knife.
The 4.65″ double-edged blade is crafted from 440C stainless steel, a high-carbon alloy celebrated for its superior corrosion resistance and edge stability. The blade features a sophisticated compound grind and a 0.18″ thickness, providing immense penetration power and structural rigidity at the tip. The handle is constructed from durable black Delrin, a high-strength polymer known for its impact resistance and stability in extreme temperatures, capped with a classic brass guard for hand protection. Manufactured 100% in Solingen, Germany, this knife is a “field-ready” masterpiece of tactical engineering.
