Ok, now THIS is a review I like! Great quality, Excellent speech and voice over. I actually did order it a few days ago because I was looking for a slipjoint as a hard use everyday knife instead of my other locking blades. I've always been more inclined to Slippies and more traditional knives without the fuss, bells and whistles modern knives have (although I own multiple so called tactical blades), I like my opinels, Doukdouks and as a Swiss guy, my Wengers and Victorinox. So back to the origin of my comment : Thanks for a great review! And I've subbed!
Love the classic design, and love me a knife made for actual use and not just faffing around. I can see this being used in the kitchen, at the office, during a bar brawl... you know, the usual. A pocket clip on the sheath would have beaten all. Let's just hope the hairgels don't catch wind of it or we'll be getting hundreds of reviews for kydex holsters more full of bits and bobs than my EDC backpack.
I'm on board with the knife not having a clip... it makes it easy to hold, and keeps it light. Clip on the sheath would have put it over the edge. I don't like a knife horizontal in my pockets.
Quick tip: place your fingers ( primarily the pointer and thumb) of the hand that is folding the blade on the pivot to gain support on that hand and make closing the knife more controlled and easier.
+macmurfy2jka yeah I tried that too. I have several slip joints- none of which closing compares to this. I have to use remaining fingers... primarily the pinky... and the force required to push down on the blade- makes your hands slip my pinky slips and comes in contact with the swooping tip. I'm telling you- this does not close as easy as other slip joints
Great review! Really looking forward on getting my hands on this design. I like the modern Gentleman's knife resurgence that seems to be happening right now.
Another brilliant pocket knife review! I like the way you never have tried to be a Jedi Knight brandishing a light saber! Thanks for the reality. Nice knife
ining an apreciation for these types of knives from Boker. I got the Urban trapper which has a flip open design and a pocket clip and even with its 3.5 inch blade it draws less attention than my "tacticool" knives that are actuallt smaller. I think I am really starting to like that.
January, 2020 :- If you like this knife but are worried that it is a slip joint, then check out the Civivi Rustic Gent. ( About the same price range). The knife slip also does have a pocket clip on the Rustic Gent. A gentleman's pocket knife.
I'm a big fan of vg10 as well. It's one of those steels that ranks pretty high in regards to edge retention and corrosion resistance. Not as good as s30v, but better than 154cm imo. BTW, I like your idea of having a clip on the pouch. Nice vid, thank you.
I love it! And since I have no intention in buying a Benchmade Proper, this will do. Btw do you ever watch Forged in Fire on the History channel? Expert martial artist says: "It will cut!""
+Kyle Govier this always worked for me... www.michaels.com/keva-trebuchet/D026653S.html?mkwid=sDXBIgw0k%7Cpcrid%7C102013289952%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cpdv%7Cm%7Cprd%7CD026653S&cm_mmc=zadv_PLASearch-_-google-_-All+Products-_-All+Products&All+Products&DXBIgw0k%7Cpcrid%7C102013289952%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cpdv%7Cm%7Cprd%7CD026653S
really like the design of that thing. I am not a slipjoint fan but, might actually buy one. So yea good job #bro #springbreak #beerbong #bodyshots #2014support4evah #tanktops #hotrods #shotshotsshots
You didn't baton with it. Do you even baton, Bro? You didn't hold it in a tactical reverse grip either? Excuse me??? How do I know if I can defend myself against pirates? Or tattooed people? Otherwise another great review. I have a Boker Edition Lockback, carbon fiber handles in VG-10. Love it. Carry on.
Fistacuffs hehe I'll send you a vid on IG on how to close one handed. With it having a half stop just hold....grip lower and use your thumb to push down on the blade...it'll stop at the half way point and then you can continue on. 👍🏻🔪
Advanced Knife Bro I'm a GEC collector that have many bear trap springs. Along with a Boker cox slim. You can still do it one handed even though. Or hold the blade pointing to the sky handle in your palm pushing the blade closed starting with your index finger and hand moving left.
Haha I just saw you follow up vid. Well I I was trying to be helpful not critical. Why I sent you a video on IG. I'm known as a really nice guy in most parts and don't really don't find it necessary to put others down. I'm not sure if the other comment or comments needed to be so rude. Folks on RUclips can have this ability to forget real life filters when commenting.
I saw your comment... but when instagram filters out a message, then it doesn't show up on the main screen as a message yet. You know I tried that with this knife and it didn't work much... the blade is sort of springy and that initial break is a killer. It's pretty hard to do with one finger. I actually close the halibut like that, because it's just a normal force slip joint. The video was good natured... I don't think any of those guys meant anything by it- I just wanted to make it clear that this slip joint, ain't like other ones.
I don't mind the fact it doesn't have a clip. Sure I would prefer it had but dropping the knife inside the pocket its one of the most discreet way of carrying a knife.
I know not everyone in concerned about UK knife laws, but we are limited to a non locking knife with a blade of less than 3 inches. So come on, make a knife we can at least consider buying.
You can easily close the knife by dragging the top of the blade against the back of your leg with one hand while gripping the knfe from the top side of the handle with one movement from back to front..... its not that complicated bud.....
@@AdvancedKnifeBro the leg is unknowingly thrown into this equation...so i believe it could still be considered one handed.... Damn thats so cool man that you answered me back. Hell yeah!!! Im a big fan. Love your videos brother keep up the good work...
Yeah I have a very specific meaning of one handed. Being able to keep the knife in your hand while closing it, not using a leg or desk. This knife is one that’s not even super easy to do that way
Darn it. If that blade had been 3" I would have bought it. Why would they make a knife that would not be legal carry in half the western world for the sake of .14 of an inch? Madness.
That's an interesting point. I figure the reason most people make slip joints is knife laws... and knife laws often target blade length and lock types.
Please, please tell me that remark about your co-worker being scared was one of your sarcastic jokes and not something actually said by an adult. My 8 year old daughter knows how to safely handle and use a slipjoint knife. Are people really not taught how to use knives anymore? It's a joke. It has to be a joke.
It wasn't a joke! I'm doing a follow up video to this, to explain a bit further the force required to close this knife, compared to other slipjoints I've reviewed in the past. It feels like a locked blade. I guess I didn't explain it well enough.
Nah. I think that slip joints are dangerous to use. I was making some feather ticks when I was 12 and my pocket knife slammed shut on my fingers twice. And I was coming up with an idea of what would be the best pocket knife. And hated locking liners. And 10 years later the paramilitary 2 came along. first time I saw that I thought. That's my knife design. HOW COOL!
Paramilitary 2 is awesome. This one is actually a pretty strong... strongest one by far as far as staying in place, but judging from the comments- I think a few people just thought I wasn't doing it right.
By the way. Your closing method suck. Lol. Thats why you got bit closing it. If you close it with thumb sideways on one side of blade and tips of other four fingers on other side it works better. Lol. Your a newbe to slip joints. Lol. Good vids dude. Keep it up
+olmmedic I really don't think you understand that this knife requires about 3- 4 times the force of any other slip joint to close. The way you describe is the first way I tried to close it. So when I do it your way my fingers slip off off either side of the blade. My first knife was a slip joint... I own about half a dozen slip joints and have handled many more over the years. This one is different. The reason I use my whole hand is because the force needed to close the knife exceeds my ability to keep a tight grip on the blade when closing. I know you don't believe me, but wait until other reviews come out.
Advanced Knife Bro I don't think he does. Nobody able to buy one of these would be throwing "cringe" around. ADDENDUM: I direct this reply with OP as the target.
Advanced Knife Bro no but I do have a few slipjoints of varying pulls. I like to close them all the same way grasped firmly with no fingers in the blade path, hence my cringing.
I completely dig your channel! I appreciate your avant-garde style, sharp wit and opinions on what makes a good cutting tool. Your a funny dude!
Glad you like them man! I try to keep it funny and light- and at least give the viewer a quick view on how it feels to use the knife
You have the best knife channel on RUclips right now really love the videos man.
Much appreciated man!

I'm not usually interested in 'traditional' folders but this one looks pretty slick.

Yeah man... let me know when you post a video, and your thoughts about the slip joint.
Another brilliant pocket knife review! I like the way you never have tried to be a Jedi Knight brandishing a light saber! Thanks for the reality.
Nice knife
Ha! This channel is reality??? Thanks man!

This is probably my fav slip joint that has come out in the last few years. Not the best but great slip joint for sure.
Yeah man.. that back spring!
Classy gent folder. Classy wouldn't be the way I would describe the review but we both know that's not why I subbed. It's the angles! 👍
Zachary Taylor
Not the measurements?
That'll work!

love your reviews man. keep it up.
Thanks man!

Thank you! I have always been happy with VG-10 on my Spydercos.
Nothing wrong with VG-10, it's a great steel. I even still like 440C alot 😅
What a great channel you have! 🙂
Nice. I like the shape
Great review (as always)! Thumbs up!
Thanks!
if you ever get a chance try a traditional Hungarian fejesgörbe. One of the toughest slip joints I've ever encountered.
Any recommendations
Thumbs up and thanks for the review.
I dig it! Why no batonning though? It's clearly designed for tactical batonning above all else.
What would be better for your opinion the slack or boxer for edc?
I love it! And since I have no intention in buying a Benchmade Proper, this will do. Btw do you ever watch Forged in Fire on the History channel? Expert martial artist says: "It will cut!""
I have not seen that show- sounds cool though!
What would you recommend for launching a 90 kilogram stone projectile over 300 meters?

I need to retreat to my safe space after watching the scary knife video. Thanks for the review Knife Bro!
Knifeflake!
Good job!
Thank you!
Looks like a good Sheeple friendly knife (except for your Snowflake co-worker). Where I work, the Sheeple are eaten by the Wolfmen!
You work with real life monsters! Cool!
really like the design of that thing. I am not a slipjoint fan but, might actually buy one. So yea good job #bro #springbreak #beerbong #bodyshots #2014support4evah #tanktops #hotrods #shotshotsshots
love it were can we get one. looks great
Right now, just through Bokers websites.
www.bokerusa.com/detail/index/sArticle/5845
I laug-hed when you said len-gth.
Zing!
Guns and roses rocks baby.....
How do you close it?? I’m scared lol
Thanks for another awesome video
Damn, I didn't realize I am that late for the party. 😂
You didn't baton with it. Do you even baton, Bro? You didn't hold it in a tactical reverse grip either? Excuse me??? How do I know if I can defend myself against pirates? Or tattooed people? Otherwise another great review. I have a Boker Edition Lockback, carbon fiber handles in VG-10. Love it. Carry on.
Arrggghh! You need a Kukri for pirate defense... trust me.
A bit too beefy IMO. I like the size of the standard SAK for slip joints.
Yeah it's kind of long... it's slick and thin though.
Technically they could have given it a nice and firm backlock, since it's a two-handed opener. 🙃
I am a fan of the classics, but this was take it or leave it.
Take it or leaf it man.
Lol
Fistacuffs hehe I'll send you a vid on IG on how to close one handed. With it having a half stop just hold....grip lower and use your thumb to push down on the blade...it'll stop at the half way point and then you can continue on. 👍🏻🔪
I have a few slip joints, but this one is leagues apart in the strength of the slip joint.
Advanced Knife Bro I'm a GEC collector that have many bear trap springs. Along with a Boker cox slim. You can still do it one handed even though. Or hold the blade pointing to the sky handle in your palm pushing the blade closed starting with your index finger and hand moving left.

This is a comment. It is a good comment about a good video. Boker, put a damn pocket clip on the case, it's not that difficult.
COME ON BOKER!
Drill three holes on the side of the pocket knife. Shave down the excess. And screw on the clip. WOW! THAT WAS SIMPLE!
It was sarcasm Capt Sensitive.
Those all caps were excitement. You do know that you can shout in excitement and joy. Right?
CAPSCAPSCAPS
"this is a knife older European men with excellent hand strength might appreciate the best." lol :-)
It's the truth!
I don't mind the fact it doesn't have a clip. Sure I would prefer it had but dropping the knife inside the pocket its one of the most discreet way of carrying a knife.
Yeah, if you don't want people to see it. I often don't mind... I guess it comes down to the area you live in.
Nothing wrong with VG10
If you want a really "stiff" slip joint, get a Douk-Douk!
Noted!
I put a drop of oil the knife, and it became much easier to close.
I'll try that, thanks for the tip.
I'd baton the hell outa that thing.
Batoning with a slip joint!
Yeah!!!
¼ inch less and it would have been UK legal.
Thanks for the tip!
I know not everyone in concerned about UK knife laws, but we are limited to a non locking knife with a blade of less than 3 inches. So come on, make a knife we can at least consider buying.
Jason Statham as "pocket knife" uses 1.5 foot long machete. This is closer to his toothpick.
Good point!
You can easily close the knife by dragging the top of the blade against the back of your leg with one hand while gripping the knfe from the top side of the handle with one movement from back to front..... its not that complicated bud.....
Sounds like 1 handed to you involves a leg bud.
