You all know him, who am I kiddding?
He is up and coming in the world of knife design, and Boker first, and later on, Spyderco, have recognised his imagination and abilities.
The Boker Magnum Sub Com F has a blade steel of 420, and whilst some might feel that is is an "inferior" steel, I am impressed with the HT. This is no S30V, but I carved up a chicken (cooked!), and sliced away at cardboard boxes for about 15 minutes, whilst listening to the Stokowski version of Tchaikovski's "Marche Slave"...It did not shave afterwards, but it still cut more cardboard...
If this blade was made of S30V, the cost would rise, and the advantages of owning more than one, would not occur.
The sharpness out of the box ( signed!), was excellent, and I shaved the hair off part of my legs, as my arms were bare...
The low cost of this beauty, means that you can own a few, and leave one in your mini survival kits.
Whilst this knife is small, it's performance is as big as it's name, and the lock up is excellent. Tapping the back of the blade on my workbench, did not unlock the liner at all.
It's small size means that it will be carried, when others are regarded as too big.
Something strange happened whilst I have been showing this knife off... :)
My wife, and others Sheeple who call knives "Evil", took one look, and said," How cute!"
It's appearance makes it look less harmful than most others I own.
Our very PC neighbours, wanted one each, as it looked very useful, and small enough not to scare the kiddie winkles.
Perhaps a knife like this will not look so bad, when you pull out it in company, and cut that rope or box..
Cute?
If you say so, Officer...

I do know that this clip is incredibly strong...

When releasing the lock, your thumb would be in this position, so closing the blade on your digits is just about impossible...
Comparison pic with my alternate pocket EDC, the UKPK...
Is this the perfect EDC?
Depends on your location, your intent, and your required task solutions...
I do know that I need to get another UKPK for myself, as my children are claiming the first two I received. I will be getting them a SubCom, as well, and then they will have a lifetime of use ahead of them...
Chad, Well Done, buddy!!!
