{"product_id":"boker-bff-packlite-cpm-3v-121445","title":"Böker BFF Packlite CPM-3V 121445","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinimalist design, robust full-metal construction, and a premium tool steel designed for exceptional toughness: the \u003cstrong\u003eBoker BFF Packlite CPM 3V\u003c\/strong\u003e combines the distinctive design language of US knifemaker Lucas Burnley with a configuration focused on EDC, outdoor use, and versatile cutting tasks. As a fixed-blade \u003cstrong\u003eskeleton knife, neck knife, and hanging knife\u003c\/strong\u003e, this all-metal knife offers functional construction and flexible carry options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edrop-point blade made from CPM 3V with a Rockwell hardness of HRC 60\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at users who prioritize \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional toughness, high edge stability, and very good wear resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e. CPM 3V from Crucible Industries is a powder metallurgy tool steel specifically developed for applications where resistance to breakage and edge chipping is particularly important. Compared with many other high-performance tool steels, one of CPM 3V's greatest strengths is its remarkable combination of toughness and wear resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts composition, including a high proportion of vanadium, promotes the formation of hard vanadium carbides. These contribute to \u003cstrong\u003ewear resistance and edge retention\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the powder metallurgy manufacturing process provides a fine and consistent microstructure. This allows CPM 3V to offer a highly durable cutting edge without relying solely on maximum hardness or an extremely high carbide volume. The hardness of \u003cstrong\u003eHRC 60\u003c\/strong\u003e further supports cutting performance and provides a stable, long-lasting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCPM 3V is particularly interesting for users who expect their knife to handle \u003cstrong\u003emechanically demanding cutting tasks\u003c\/strong\u003e. The steel is known for its very high toughness and its resistance to chipping along the cutting edge. This makes it an interesting alternative to extremely wear-resistant steels where the edge may be more susceptible to damage under heavy stress. At the same time, CPM 3V is \u003cstrong\u003enot stainless\u003c\/strong\u003e and therefore requires appropriate care when exposed to moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open \u003cstrong\u003efull-metal skeleton construction\u003c\/strong\u003e emphasizes the minimalist character of the BFF Packlite. Jimping along the spine helps improve control during precise cutting tasks. The fitted \u003cstrong\u003eKydex sheath with ball chain\u003c\/strong\u003e allows flexible neck or hanging carry and complements the versatile EDC configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether used as an \u003cstrong\u003eEDC knife, neck knife, outdoor knife, or compact backup knife\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Boker BFF Packlite CPM 3V is aimed at demanding knife enthusiasts who prefer a particularly tough tool steel with high edge stability. The combination of \u003cstrong\u003eCPM 3V at HRC 60, high toughness, wear resistance, Lucas Burnley design, full-metal construction, and Kydex sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e makes this fixed-blade knife a capable choice for versatile and demanding cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"specificationsPDP\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 6.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 15.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: CPM 3V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 2.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: CPM 3V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSheath: Kydex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable at www.knifeguy.co.za\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner: Lucas Burnley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel Import: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Böker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48967999422558,"sku":"121445","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8373\/files\/121436_54b5760d-c5dd-49ff-a4d4-ae9aded7f8e6.jpg?v=1790688874","url":"https:\/\/www.knifeguy.co.za\/products\/boker-bff-packlite-cpm-3v-121445","provider":"The Knife Guy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
