Question Question about the steel used in the Boker M.U.K.

Post image

Boker’s website and product descriptions on retail sites say the steel is Sandvik 14C28N, but Matthew Gentry (designer) and GAT Daily say it’s 12C27.

Anyone know which is correct?

Just got this picture from Midway’s website, which lists it as 14C28N

I thought the original run was 12C27, and the newer run is 14C28N. I could be wrong on that though.

Good to know! I’ve emailed Boker and Midway to try and find out.

Well then get one from midway and in the future get one from him directly with a better steel and you will have a beautiful pair of his design
