As far as gent’s knives go, the Boker Plus Urban Trapper has long been a crowd favorite. Its slim and slender design makes it both stylish and easy to carry. But despite its minimalist silhouette and traditional inspiration, it actually performs like a modern folder thanks to its flipper mechanism and premium materials. The Urban Trapper Petite comes as a new addition to the lineup in a more compact size with an EDC-focused, G10 scale upgrade to boot.
The black G10 scales add a decidedly tactical bent to this minimalist knife. G10 is a composite glass fiber material that offers exceptional grip, even when wet. It’s a welcome addition to a slim and compact sub-3″ knife like the Urban Trapper Petite. And because G10 is lightweight, it only adds 0.1 ounces to a knife that only weighed 1.1 ounces to begin with. You’ll barely notice it in your pocket, especially with its reversible tip-up deep carry clip.
Everything that makes the Urban Trapper a great choice for EDC remains the same. It keeps the razor-sharp straight-edge blade made of VG-10 stainless steel, but now measures 2.75”. The handle itself remains a beautiful stonewashed titanium featuring an integral frame lock. And the flipper deployment makes one-handed opening a breeze.
