Boker Magnum 01MB428 Shadow Knife with 3 1/4 in. 440C Stainless Steel Blade

*This is just an initial review since I've only had the knife for a short period of time.*The knife feels solid. It has a nice weight without being too heavy. The blade came sharp and the clip is very robust.I also tested the lock mechanism as much as I could while still being safe. The lock held tight with no problems or give at all.I will have to see how well it stands up to daily use, but as of now its well worth the money.Just note though, the screws on the knife pictured on Amazon are silver, and the one I received are all black. Personally I think the black looks better, but to each their own.ONE WEEK UPDATE: After one week of daily use, the two screws at the end of the handle became probably halfway loose, and the main knife hinge screw became just slightly loose. Tightening was no problem with the right size Torx driver. All is well now, just make sure to stay on top of tightening.. and also invest in some Loctite.

Pro's;-Very light weight.-Decent steel.-Hold's a decent edge for about 3 days under normal use.Con's;-Knife came with a bur, but that's a easy fix.-The liner lock does not engage well. This can be a big safety hazard, but is not, due to design, but the factory worker who grind the knife. This can be easily fixed if you know how the lock is engaged.Overall; If I didn't have to get rid of the burr on the edge, and regrind the back of the knife so the liner could lock better, this knife would have gotten 5 stars.It's a good light weight knife with decent steel, for the price.

This is a descent knife. I like the grip form. The blade is plenty sharp, and easy to open & close. The liner lock is a bit disappointing, but I'm spoiled by my Kershaw Tremor, which I carry everywhere all the time. This Boker Magnum Shadow remains new in its box, and will make a fine gift someday.

It looks alright, and feels good in the hand.However, seller claims it is made of 440C, but the marking on the blade says 440A.

This knife is really not a Boker but a good fake. It's made pretty decently though. The opening action is real smooth and can be done with just fingers, and clip is firm and sturdy. It's size is a bit small for me but that's cause I'm used to a Benchmade Rukas. The blade steel is 440 (not much on holding it's sharpness but not bad) But I'll tell you for the price I would recommend it. It's great as a small utility knife. It looks good and it's compact.

Not 440C. This is 7Cr17MoV, a 440A equivalent. Not nearly as good as 440C.

A well made, sharp out the box,linear lock pocket knife that will cover most day to day uses. This is not a knife for heavy abuse but a good pocket edc for daily tasks. There is no play when the blade is open and it has a one sided,tip down pocket clip

Great knife. Comes poorly sharpened out of the box but that can be fixed in a few minutes with a electric sharpener. Hold a fantastic edge, feels good in the hand, and very lighweight. I like the extended clip to keep it secure in my pocket. Overall a great knife.
