Noks Sapper
on: April 05, 2009, 10:36:42 PM
From the bizarre world of Gazprom and Doktor Zhivago comes the latest in Russian multitools. Made by Noks (translation = Knife) Company, the Sapper does not resemble any multitool ever produced in the West.   





Alongside a SOG ParaTool for comparison:





If the Sapper's strong point is its eye-catching appearance, then user-ergonomics is its weak link. This thing was engineered to maim, not to kill (its owner!) :ahhh The knuckle-munching teeth on the underside of the handle quickly get one's attention, as does the painfully narrow palm-creasing frame and the fang-like awl blade. Obviously the inventer subscribed to the old What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger philosophy. :D









No one can accuse Noks of cheaping out on the features though. This thing is almost Swiss-like in its tool density.  :)

That looks like a fascinating tool- what is the overall quality like?  It seems like it was built for maximum functionality first and user comfort/ergonomics were secondary (if even then!) which seems typical of Eastern European tools and knives.

Honestly it looks almost hand built. Like an ill-conceived project that someone spent a lot of time making. The overall desing is crazy, but the individual parts are exquisite. :)

Agreed. I've enjoyed seeing the pictures but I'd hate to have to use (or even handle) one.
