Boker Plus Sprocket Folding Knife 18

I did not think it was possible to design a folder that will not close on you under any circumstances. This is such a knife, and it’s superb! Well, apart from holding it with your index finger along the blade, which is in any case not really how you'd use this folder. I keep an edc folder on me at all times – and I take it everywhere I go. This would not get you into trouble no matter where you pulled it out. With a flat head screw driver and the least stabby sub 3 inch blade ever conceived of, it is not going to raise an eyebrow. I have sliced tomatoes for lunch, and it was OK. It excelled at slicing my cured Spanish sausage. And it pops off botte caps without leaving a mark on the super hard D2 blade (there is a technique to it). It suits your 5th pocket perfectly. Ony possible modification I might make is to fit a lanyard. That will take a bit of planning as there is no obvious place for one, but it will help with fishing it out of a small pocket with fat fingers. My Boker Plus XS may just have been relegated to the drawer, that’s honestly how good this is. As long as the mechanism holds up I will post another review in a few months if HH still stock it.

To my mind this is without doubt one of the best pocket knife designs for every day carry available in the UK. It scores highly in the 'non threatening' looks department, which should remove any possible objection for general use in public spaces or occasional use in formal work environments for example. In many cases traditional knife designs tho they may also be UK legal, could be interpreted primarily as a weapon depending on factors such as circumstance and lack of relevant knowledge of training ( if you brandish any object in a threatening manner in public, particularly a bladed one, you probably deserve what's coming right ?! ) This innovative, out of the box thinking folding knife is ideal for carrying in your jeans ( 5th ) watch pocket, and is practically impossible to fold back in use making it very safe. It retains a useful heft despite its handy size and low weight, and has a very sharp blade straight from the box. As either a primary carry or as back-up to a larger blade, I thoroughly recommend!

There is only one YouTube review of this knife. It's great to see some innovation in non locking UK friendly market. It's definitely not a gimmick, rather a safe to use mini chopper, handy for many tasks in at home, in the city, and the outdoors.

Of you want a useful blade in your pocket it's perfect for your 5th...watch pocket and a good conversation piece.

Yep it's definitely quirky but in a good way I've been carrying it in my fifth pocket and it's so unobtrusive I forgot it was there and it went through a full cycle wash with no problems I put a drop or two of fine oil on moving parts and it's working perfectly and very clean too.buy one as a fifth pocket carry you won't be disappointed.

Excellent knife, with an unusual action. It may look a bit like a cheese knife but I certainly would not like to get food in the gears of this folder. Excellent comfortable grip with ones thumb on the spine or along side the blade but not with ones index finger along the spine of the blade. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Usual high boker quality not sure how strong it all really is tho.

Just took delivery of this so it may be a little early to comment. It's built like a tank though, has near flawless build quality and is exceptionally fun to fiddle with trying all the different ways to open it. One thing to bare in mind is that it is next to impossible to open this knife one handed if you're using your left hand. It's very small when folded, however once opened it is surprisingly comfortable in the hand fitting my large hands completely. There is absolutely no way this is going to close up on your fingers in use and with it being D2 and chisel ground, you could get some serious work done with this knife. I'd say this alongside my most satisfying knife purchase for a while alongside my ukpk salt. For the price, you really can't go wrong with this one ?

A splendidly different little pocket knife, I was so impressed, I bought 2 of them.
