U.S.A. — I recently received a Sencut Bocll II folding knife to test. Upon opening the box, I was impressed with the initial presentation. To begin, it comes in a small black canvas, fleece-lined case about the size of a glass case.
Inside the case are cleaning instructions along with a soft cleaning rag. I thought these two items along with the carrying/storage case was a small step that other knife companies don’t do and it adds a personal touch to the knife.
I would classify the Sencut Bocll II Flipper as a mid-sized EDC. Most of the time, I want a full-sized folder, but when wearing slacks, in business meetings etc. I favor a lower-profile folder. This one fits the bill. I’m carrying it as I type and will carry it to Church on the weekend.
SENCUT BocII Folding Knife EDC
And even though I do usually carry a full-size EDC, I don’t like the bulkiness of them. They seem to dominate your whole pocket, and anytime you try to retrieve something else out of your pocket, it is in the way. Whether you’re trying to pull a quarter out of the pocket or your billfold. The Sencut Bocll II Flipper is barely 3/8 inches thick which makes it comfortable to carry. I favor a 3-3 ½ inch blade, and this one is 2.96 inches so that fits the bill of what I like.
Even though the Sencut Bocll II is a medium-sized knife, I still feel like I have a firm grip on it due to two features:
- There are finger grooves on the flipper, which help lock your pointer finger in place. And, of course, the flipper serves the dual purpose of not only aiding in opening the blade but also acts as a finger guard.
- The texture of the handle further enhances my grip. The texture is not over-aggressive but suitable. So, I have a firm grip when holding and using it but it would further enhance your grip if it had thumb grooves on the spine.
I’m sure there is an industry name for the blade design of the Sencut Bocll besides just “Drop point.” I’d almost call it an oblong drop point, and that’s not being derogatory. About 2/5’s of the way past the point, the spine is ground down so the blade has a definite point, which you will want on your EDC so you can perform your stabbing jobs throughout the day.
It came from the factory super sharp. Due to its design, it will be super simple to sharpen. Or I should say super simple to keep the same angle while sharpening. There are no big changes in the contour.
It has a one-position, point-up pocket clip. The back is open, which will greatly aid/ease keeping it clean. This would make it a great knife to use when fishing to slice your sausage and cheese to slap on a cracker.
As we wrap up the Product Review on the Bocll II folder, I’d have to say that it is a comfortable medium-sized EDC, and I continue to carry it even after the testing process was completed. The MSRP is $45.00 and as is usual, we will close with the specs.
