I bought a lot or 4 knives off the bay last week to get my hands on a Böker pen knife to add to my EDC rotation. Yesterday they arrived. Although the Böker is ok for an EDC and has good snap, I was a bit unhappy with the handles. I'm not sure of the material they used. It looked as if it had some blood vessels on the edges and the thickness varies so you could believe them to be of bone or ??? Stag. On the other hand, it wasn't that hard to carve it so I don't know, maybe it's just some sort of plastic.
Either way, I found the brown color to be overbearing at the least and on 7 of 8 points of contact where the handles meet the bolsters on the corners, the handles protuded above the bolsters. The sides of the handles were also squared or edged & uncomfortable to hold causing me to be dissapointed in the overall fit and finish of the knife. None the less, I threw it in my watch pocket yesterday. 
As I sat outside drinking my coffee this morning, I got it out to look at it. Then I spontaneously whipped out my Klaas EDC and started whittling. Might be a sin to whittle on a knife but..., that's what Easter is about.
And as Ken (Petesknives) says..., "Sometimes, it's easier to beg for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission." 
So at this point..., if anyone is dissapointed in me for whittling on another knife, I'm sorry and I promise I'll Never Ever do it again..., unless nobody is looking. 
As always, I did not think to take any pictures before I started so I'll post the seller's pictures here in this post as the before pictures and the pictures of my "New & Improved" Böker EDC in the next post below.

If You Don't Mind Me Saying so Good Job K.C.
