We’ve regularly featured the adventure-ready timepieces from BOLDR on the pages of The Coolector so we were understandably excited when we saw they were branching out into other forms of EDC – namely, pocket knives. Their flagship foray into this arena with their selection of Strandberg Knives sees them hit a home run off the bat and these will make a welcome addition to any EDC aficionado’s lineup of gear.
The Strandberg Knives from BOLDR are the brand’s first collection of hand-finished folding knives that have been directly inspired by documentary filmmaker and explorer Mikael Strandberg. The Swedish-born polymath has been BOLDR’s brand ambassador since 2018 and serves as the perfect muse for this classy selection of pocket knives.
With prices starting at a mighty reasonable £140, you don’t need to break the bank to add a Strandberg Knife to your everyday carry and the quality on offer here is second to none. BOLDR chose top-quality Bohler M390 steel for all their knife blades in the collection. This metal is renowned for its superior quality and M390 steel has excellent sharpness retention, outstanding wear & tear resistance, and remains stainless almost indefinitely.
The Strandberg knives use both liner-lock (wooden handles) and a slip-joint w/ half stop lock (titanium & micarta handles) so you can choose the version that best fits in with the aesthetic of your EDC lineup. Each Strandberg knife has seen real-time action on Mikael’s excursions, often in extreme climates so you can rest assured they’ll stand up to any adventures you put them through.
These first-class knives from the guys at BOLDR are available in five different handle materials: Dalbergia wood, snakewood, olive wood, titanium, and micarta and all offer their own unique visual impact and tactile sensation. All blades are Bohler M390 steel with either a steel liner-lock or a slip joint w/half-stop locking system for unparalleled performance in the field.
