Böker Plus, pocket knife, "FEDERAL", folding knife, titanium shells
The knife maker Gustavo Cecchini from Brazil not only designs modern to futuristic folding knives,
he is also not at a loss for new ideas.
The Federal Folder has a unique clip design in which the clip automatically retracts into the
handle when it is not needed.
The idea itself is not new, but the implementation is unique:
Instead of a delicate mechanism, the clip is instead integrated into the titanium shell,
similar to a frame lock, and is simply spread apart from the shell with the thumb against
the spring force to clip the knife in.
A solution that is hard to beat in terms of simplicity and elegance.
And the rest of the features also make you want more:
The titanium body with its expressive milling has two carbon fiber inserts that strikingly
underline the modern design.
The IKBS ball-bearing blade is opened using a flipper and a milling in the area of the thumb
ramp provides additional grip.
Please note:
Despite the flipper, the Federal Folder is difficult to open with one hand
