Böker Plus Urban Trapper Linear handle scales
In 2019–2020, Böker Plus expanded the wildly popular Urban Trapper series—originally launched around 2014 by Florida custom knifemaker Brad Zinker—with the Urban Trapper Linear, introducing a liner lock variant to complement the iconic titanium frame lock models
Designed by Brad Zinker, the Böker Plus Urban Trapper Linear retains the minimalist, gentleman’s EDC ethos: a slim, elegant profile inspired by classic trapper patterns but modernized for discreet carry in suits, jeans, or light attire. It features a 3.3–3.5-inch blade in premium VG-10 stainless steel (hairline or satin finish, hollow grind) for razor-sharp performance and corrosion resistance, opened via a smooth ball-bearing flipper
The Linear variant offers a more substantial, tangible feel with options like cocobolo wood, Micarta, or G-10 scales, blue-anodized titanium liners/clip in some editions, and reliable liner lock security—ideal for users preferring traditional lock types over frame locks. Weighing around 2.5–3 oz, it delivers exceptional slice, lightweight portability, and refined aesthetics
Debuting as a broader-handled evolution (often noted as slightly chunkier blade/handle), the Linear quickly became a favorite in the Urban Trapper family for its versatility, premium materials, and crossover appeal in gentleman's folders and everyday carry (EDC knives), reinforcing Böker Plus's reputation for collaborative, high-quality designs
