Can you say custom collaboration?......Doc :DSamwise wrote:Looks pretty awesome, but....
If it's a Boker, then why does it have a Krein logo on it?
Many here know the name Krein and the fine work he does...this is a stunning example....and it looks like Boker did a nice job on it from the pics...I will get one soon and let you know what I think of it for sure...kinda reminds me of a fixed blade Chinook of sorts...but I understand the blade is much smaller...suits me just fine though...I love the design......Doc :D

Ha, seems we both did it at exactly the same time.
I haven't had chance to really use it yet so can't say much. The F&F is good, some misses (i.e. lanyard tube and rivet not entirely flush with scale, sheath entrance not chamfered to allow easy insertion), but for a $25 knife it's as good as it gets.

Doc. get it - I handled it and due limited funds didnt buy it yet, but its a great lil knife.
Stout, very sharp, good point. Amazing little fixed blade for a hard to beat price. The sheath might be a little tight, but that can be done with some adjustments. I think knowing your taste for knives in general, you might like this lil pup pretty much. :cool:

I'm looking to get one soon. Tom's designs are always very sound ergonomically for me, whether they be small blades or large, and I just love that clip point.
Could one of the folks who has the knife be so kind as to tell me what the stock thickness is? I can't seem to find that measurement in any of the standard product information.

I'd throw down for one, half out of novelty and half out of product design.
normally I wouldn't go in on a bowie that diminutive, but it's got great appeal and the price is certainly right.
I've got a VG-10 Chinook Proto LE, to keep the Boker company... but comparison in point -- this little blade has a high standard to live up to.
Stay Sharp --

Well, Tom is getting into the folder market, perhaps Spyderco could be the first (hopefully only company) to organize a folder colaboration? :)
I have the Pocket Bowie by Tom Krein via Boker Plus. It's in my pocket right now. I need to adjust the retension of the kydex sheath because it is too tight for my liking.

Hey Doc,
Dagon (a forum member) has a review of the Pocket Bowie on YouTube. His YT name is MrDagon007 I think. It looks like a very cool little knife-little being the operative word. Krein has several colabs with Böker. I would very much like to see a colab with Spyderco sometime in the future.
Cheers!
