BOKER Ts Med Stockman Pocket Knife

You can’t go wrong with a Boker knife

Sister has given permission for my nephew to have his first knife. I was struggling between this one (3-1/4") and the full size Stockman (4"). I think it's a little small, and if it were for me, I'd rather have the full size. But I have to remember it's for smaller hands.This is exactly what I had envisioned when I heard "first knife + Christmas". I can imagine Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn with the same classic styling.The workmanship is exquisite - perfectly fitted scales. No sanding marks. I am really glad I purchased this and I am sure the recipient will be pleased. It will be as much at home in the woods with a ten-year-old boy, as in a gentleman's suit pocket.

This is really a good looking knife. Seems well made and fit and finish is great. Would definitely buy again.

I love carrying a pocket knife, like my kershaw with the open assist however...when you whip that sucker out to cut something...i.e. at work...in the office....you may draw a few looks, so this knife is the answer to that problem. No one will mistakenly think that you are out to attack them with this puppy, but it is extremely sharp out of the box and with the high carbon steel blade it should be easy to keep that same edge on it. The size of the knife is perfect to fit into the "coin" pocket of jeans, or the same pocket found in the bottom of some hand pockets of slacks. I'm somewhat lazy when it comes to sharpening knives and that is why I like this 3 blade knife over some of the other single or double blade pocket knives of similar size.

Boker/Tree brand I have known of for years. They have excellent build quality and steel quality. Boker is a trusted name in knives. Great quality.

It has the beautiful fit and finish that you'd expect from a German made folder. Opening the blade is glassy smooth without even applying any oil. One thing to note on this one though is the blades are super thin, thinner than any slipjoint knife I have, and I have a pretty good collection of them. They're razor sharp right out of the box, though and they're good for whittling, which is what I mainly use them for. If you plan to do anything more heavy duty than that you're going to need something more substantial, though.

While I have bought a number of Case knives in the past, this was the first Boker. The quality of the Case knives is always hit or miss. The Boker seems well-made. The side rivets are not perfectly flush, but everything fits and works well. The blades are slightly thinner then what would be on a comparably sized Case knife, but they are not flimsy. The blades are also sharpened nicely, as compared to the Case knives that are coarse ground at best and always require sharpening. Overall, I am impressed and will clearly consider a Broker over a Case going forward.

No llega a medir las 3.5 pulgadas que se indican. No obstante es bella y sus hojas tienen buen filo.
