Full description and what we offer
Will, a Kansas City native, turned his passion for knife design into Boos Blades in 2017. What started as a CAD college project—the Aero front flipper—evolved into a full manufacturing operation. In October 2018, he purchased a 2004 Sharp CNC machine and taught himself machining through videos and machinist forums. Today, every knife is designed, machined, finished, and sharpened in-house.
$500 | 8-10 week lead time

"After a short learning curve with the front flipper, I can't put it down! The action is smooth as silk." — Gregory J.
$240 | In stock, carbon fiber options
Designed as a challenge to create a slim front flipper. Lightweight, tough, and praised for smooth reliable action. Carbon fiber handle variant available.
"Light weight but very tough. Good for everyday box opening cutting tasks. The action is smooth reliable. Sharp little knife in looks as well as the blade." — Teresa S.
CNC Precision & Hand Finishing Every knife is meticulously machined with perfect tolerances for smooth, silky action and solid lockup. Post-machine finishing includes bead blasting and tumbling for the perfect aesthetic.
Material Science - Blades: CPM MagnaCut steel—extra durable with great edge retention and chipping resistance - Handles: 6AL-4V titanium—lightweight but structurally solid - Super steels and exotic alloys that won't dull quickly, won't chip under hard use, and won't corrode in adventurous environments
Made in the USA Design through final assembly happens in-house. Heat treating follows @knifesteelnerds protocol for consistent performance.
Boos Blades are covered by a limited lifetime warranty that excludes wear and tear, misuse, abuse, or alteration. Disassembling your knife won't void the warranty—just use quality Torx screwdrivers (Wiha, Wera recommended).
If you're not the original owner, repairs may come with a charge at Boos' discretion.
