Boker Plus Cataclyst Green Damast - an all-around everyday carry knife that not only delivers impressive cutting performance but is also recognized as one of the most trusty blades out there. The manufacturer describes this knife as a sleek and high-quality gentleman's tool. It's got a refined appearance, featuring a damascus blade and a steel handle with a gray micarta inlay. Plus, it comes with a lanyard hole and a removable titanium clip.

The blade is crafted from damascus - a type of steel created through the forging of various metals. This layered construction gives the knife its signature pattern on the surface. The main advantage of damascus steel is its unique combination of hardness and flexibility, achieved by blending different grades of metal.

The handle is made from steel paired with micarta - a highly decorative composite material that consists of layered plastic based on fabric or paper and a polymer binding agent (synthetic resin). Micarta is strong, non-slip, odor-resistant, and comfortable to hold. Moreover, it's beautiful, durable, withstands significant temperature changes, doesn't react with many chemicals, and comes in a wide range of colors. These qualities make it more sought after in the knife industry than regular plastic or wood.
