Boker Plus Makri Fixed Blade 18

I bought it because D2 is a hard working steel and this shape of blade looked like it would work for garden tasks. It’s been fantastic at that job, the sharp blade is shaped well for pruning while the comfortable handle fits the hand well. It is easy to take out by just holding on to the handle and pushing against the sheath with your thumb. The sheath is a bit tight to start with but wears in quickly.

I love this little "kukri" style fixed blade. Obviously, dispatch from Heinnie was great. The knife was nicely packaged and came sharp out of the box. The sheath setup is good. I know other people have had issues with the fit of the kydex sheath but mine slides in out very easily. I wonder whether Boker listened to the reviews and changed up the manufacture of the sheath as a result? I tend to use this around the house and garden and it slides onto any belt or trousers set (inc. shorts) very easily. Great little EDC for home or camp use (legalities dependant!).

My first Kukri style blade. Sturdy and sharp blade and an excellent finish on this cute little knife. As a previous reviewer has said, the kydex sheath is a little tight so be careful taking it in and out folks. I have set my belt clip so that the sheath is horizontal rather than vertical and this seems to help so lomg as I am careful to not stab myself in the stomach when sheathing it. I may change it back to a more traditional vertical position in the future! When all said and done this is a good fixed blade that comes with a sheath and a belt clip and I would have been happy with it at the full price. To catch it in the sale at better than half price was a steal.

I spotted the Makri Fixed Blade in Heinnie’s discount section and couldn't resist, I'd been admiring it since it first showed up, and let's be honest, I’ve got a soft spot for kukri-style blades. First impressions? Very solid. Fit and finish are great, the handle feels reassuringly chunky in the hand, and mine came sharp enough out of the box. For my intended usage, tinder prep and dramatic Amazon unboxings, it’s holding up just fine. Now, the sheath is the letdown of the whole package. Retention is excellent (maybe too excellent), the blade clearance is very tight. If you don’t guide it in just right, the edge risks shaving kydex instead of kindling. Worse, the lack of a thumb ramp means trying to one-hand it off could end in a trip to A&E or at least some yelled expletives. Basically: slow is smooth, smooth is safe. All that said, I’m genuinely happy with the knife. Especially at the discounted price, it’s a great little tool with a lot of attitude. And as always, Heinnie’s delivery was faster than I could say, “Do I need another knife?” (The answer was yes.)
