My new Boker Tanto combo edge Blade!!!!

Post by Skyman » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:19 pm

Hey Fellas,

Just got my knife.It is a Boker or a boker clone :?: :?: , anyway i paid like 480 bucks for it.It's a folder.

It has a 3 and a quarter inch blade, sharp but needs attention.Also has a seat belt cutter and glass breaker.

The pocket clip is strong and does not move about.Tip down carry only.All metal construction.Reliable and maybe a tad on the weighty side.Has a great contouring and treads cut into the handle.Has some kinda scaling as well, but might slip in the wet. :( .It fits just right in my hand though.

The action is sooo smooth you have to see to believe.I mean smooth as silk.If i flick it open, it opens with a menacing click :evil: :evil: .Sure to get attention.

The blade is thick and a tanto edge.Partially serrated.It is painted black.That will probably flake when i get down to sharpening it... :( .In fact the paint may flake all over, except the handle.

Will put up pics soon.The knife gurus please take a look.Was it a waste for half k or worth it?
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Very nice Skyman.
It looks like a excellent EDC.
