This knife feels great in the hand and performs very well. It is both a thing of beauty and very functional. It is very difficult to open and close the blade, which I think makes it very safe (provided you don't do yourself any injury whilst trying to close the thing). This, however, leads to a 'UK friendly' issue. Apart from the fact that it looks rather deadly, any police officer who saw this would, I am sure, take it off you, because of how firm the blade feels when it is deployed. It FEELS like a lock knife, until you really put the pressure on to close the blade. it follows the letter of the law, but not the spirit. The scales are marked as Zytel on this website, but other sites claim they are G10. Also, they are supposed to be black, when in fact they are of more of a very dark grey/blue hue.

Overall, I like the knife a lot, but will never be taking it out with me.

this knife is simply brilliant.
I highly recommend it to people living in the UK.

Pros
Fits well in pocket
Pocket clip is strong but also movable to both ends and sides of the knife (ideal for left and right handed people)
Comfortable Handle
Good grip
Sharp and sturdy blade with a thick spine and jimping for more control

Cons
Quite difficult to open requires good grip strength (there is the possible danger of cutting ones self when opening it. On the other hand I actually like it this way as despite lacking a locking mechanism I am not afraid that the knife will close on my fingers when using it.

The jimping is also quite rough so I suggest wearing gloves when using the knife or filing the jimping down a little.

Overall it is an excellent blade one of my favourites and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Very well made and solid knife at good price point but spring is so stiff it’s actually dangerous to operate so never gets used.

This is a fantastic knife. Came really sharp out the box love this knife. If your thinking about it get it you won't be disappointed.

MADE MINE ONE HANDED OPENING, VID ON YOUTUBE IF INTEREST. JUST KEYWORD SEARCH.

POSTED HERE ALREADY, BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO GET PUBLISHED.

Great knife, although did not buy mine from heiinie as they had none, I found the lock up exceptional, but to uncomfortable.

So I shaved the back spring and put a thumstud on the blade for one handed opening.

Why Boker didn't slip joint it with a ball bearing system so allowing a flipper on the blade I do not know.. still it is what it is...not a bad little uk friendly pocket knife...nice and chunky.

What a blade for a UK carry, yes its super stiff but thats the point it gives confidence in a slip joint, you wouldnt want no tenetion and no lock= no fingers, now time to wrap up for Xmas, cheerrs HH

Bought one of these last year as a xmas present as its uk carry with nice design. Unfortunately the person I bought it for never uses it as its scares them just trying to open the blade, never mind trying to fold it back up! So disappointed especially as the knife is obviously good quality. I would never buy another one just for the complete impracticality of opening and closing it. As a carpenter, hunter, fisherman et al I want tools that are good quality, easy to use and practical. If something is made out of the best materials known to man kind and designed to look fantastic that can't be used then its nothing more than a nice ornament. If I could swap it I would.

No point getting too arty about it's build, blade or function. This is just a very good reliable knife.
