I picked up this Boker back at the beginning of summer, Boker Plus Tech Tool Zebrawood 1 (01BO843).
Thanks for looking.

Classy knife, Chris!
Thanks, TMK! I really liked that wood.
For sure! What's not to like!

The last one was made of copper, micarta and n690. It disappointed me, it is made well, I would say excellent, but the grease on it dries too quickly and after a couple of days metal shavings start flying out of it when you open it. Because of this, the spring even sank down a little. I ordered a Quick Release, I hope this will help. It is also very difficult to sharpen it correctly, the burr is very flexible and does not want to disappear. I am much happier with the older Slimline Trapper. It had a celluloid handle that imitated mother-of-pearl. Apparently it began to decompose and the acid ate away the blade. At some point the celluloid turned into dust and simultaneously began to secrete a lot of viscous liquid. I took it off and discovered that since the factory production the pin had broken one of the overlays (cracks in the brass). A small repair was made - overlays made of G10 were installed. Now it is strong again and I think it will serve my descendants too

Thank you all a lot for the kind words! This was my friend riding. He made custom hunting knives but recently decided to get into slip joints. I guess when he feels ready he will sign up here with the required membership level
