Coverage of the mid-year Boker releases continues with the imposing Cheus, an aggressive dagger-styled folder from Alexey Ponomarev of the appropriately named Brutalica Knives.
In June, we wrote about the Boker Atropos, a design from Chuck Gedraitis based on mid-20th century fighting knives. While the Cheus is ultimately a quite different knife, the two blades certainly both partake in the martial knife design elements. For the Cheus, those elements begin with the blade, a 3.54-inch piece of steel with the leaf-like profile of a classic dagger. It is ground with only a single edge, however, which allows the Cheus to be legal in more places.
I have a feeling that this will sell well. Not that daggers have ever gone out of style, but I think they might be the next actual craze. Lets see what happens at SHOT in a few months. Bookmark this and feel free to call me wrong or right.
