Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 – 3.53″ Blackwash D2 Drop Point, Brown G10 Frag Pattern, Liner Lock

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 is an overbuilt hard-use EDC folding knife with a 3.53" blackwash D2 drop point blade and a brown G10 handle cut with an aggressive frag pattern. Named after the stout dwarf from The Hobbit and designed by German maker Midgard Messer, the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 is built around Nordic-inspired lines and a chunky, indestructible feel in hand.

Titanium runs through the build — the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 uses a titanium pocket clip and a full titanium backspacer/spine, which adds rigidity and a solid, substantial feel. A flipper tab, triangular thumb hole and blade fuller all give fast one-handed deployment, while jimping along the spine adds grip without chewing up your thumb. The liner lock closes up rock-solid with no blade play.

At 7.55 oz the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 is unapologetically a heavy-duty knife rather than a lightweight slicer — it is aimed at anyone who wants a beefy D2 pocket knife for demanding cutting work, outdoor use and hard EDC.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the blade on the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 has a 3.53" (89.7 mm) drop point blade with an 8.38" overall length when open. Blade stock is a thick 0.196" (5.0 mm), which is what gives the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 its overbuilt reputation.

What steel is the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 made from?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 uses D2 tool steel in a blackwash finish. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium semi-stainless steel known for very good edge retention and toughness at this price point, and the blackwash on the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 helps hide the scratches that come with hard use.

Is D2 good knife steel?

D2 holds an edge notably longer than budget stainless steels like 8Cr13MoV, which is why it is a favorite in working knives such as the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2. It is only semi-stainless, so wipe the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 dry and add a light coat of oil if you use it around moisture.

How do you close the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 uses a liner lock. Push the locking liner sideways out from behind the blade tang with your thumb, then fold the blade closed — keeping your fingers clear of the blade path. The lockup on the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 is firm with no blade play.

What handle material does the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 use?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 has brown G10 scales machined with a frag pattern for grip in wet or gloved hands, plus a full titanium backspacer. G10 is a resin-bonded fiberglass laminate that resists moisture, chemicals and impact, so the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 handles rough conditions well.

Who designed the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 was designed by Midgard Messer, a German knifemaker whose work draws on Norse mythology. The Bömbur name comes from the stout, powerfully built dwarf in The Hobbit, which suits the heavy build of the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2.

Is the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 a good EDC pocket knife?

The Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 is best suited to people who want a substantial working folder rather than an ultralight carry knife. At 7.55 oz it rides heavier than a slim EDC folder, but the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 rewards that weight with a thick blade, comfortable two-curve handle and a titanium tip-up clip for right-hand carry.

Where can I buy the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2?

You can buy the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 at Going Gear, an authorized Tenable dealer. Buying the Tenable Bömbur T1054A2 from an authorized dealer means you get a genuine knife with full manufacturer warranty support.
