Are there any other knives similar to the Boker Urban Trapper (Very slim long blade)

Basically what I said above. This thing looks sexy as hell to me. I was wondering if there were other options that look similar.

To really get a feel for how this thing looks see:

The only thing that I did not like about the thing was the polished blade. (I think I would scratch it once and the repolishing would painful)

But the overall aesthetic was just amazing on this one to me. And since I don't use my knifes to pry things the slim blade is not an issue for me.

Cold Steel Ti-Lite 4" or 6" comes to mind. They come in Zytel or Aluminum handles.
 
Some Spydercos

Sorry I can't contribute much but I do thank you for bringing this knife to my attention... it's gorgeous.
 
There's also the Boker Kwaiken, though it's not so dainty. The BM 940/943 would be a good choice.
 
you could always find an actual brad zinker custom. most of them are in this slim style.
 
If you can have an auto, a Protech Godfather would fit the bill perfectly. They offer numerous variations of handle finishes/inlays and blade finishes.
 
Just about every knife suggested here isn't even close to the boker trapper. The 940 series, hahaha. Some spydies?? there is no spydie that is slender, the hole forbids it, never happen. Ti-lites are huge. Jeez people, why not a 6oz+++ ZT fanboy?

And how exactly have you contributed other than to critique people who are actually trying to help. And to throw out a ZT fanboy blast? Come on....

To the OP, what about a SOG Slim Jim XL?

Boker Kwaiken, Cold Steel Ti-Lite, Benchmade 940/943, CRKT Eros, Opinel Slim line, Kershaw 1430 Wild Turkey and probably the slickest narrow blade of them all the Shun Higo Nokami Personal Gentleman's knife (picture below).

Not a spyderco fanboy at all.... It's just that with the FFG they are slimmer than a lot of production folders out there.

I know the Spyderco Police is long and relatively slim so i figured they would have something like what you're looking for. Sorry I couldn't help, man.
 
All these people mentioning Benchmades and not tossing out their slimmest larger offerings; the 530 and 531. I have been craving the 531 badly. If you look for reviews on YouTube, one of the first hits compares the 531, a Skyline, and the Boker. They're all the same size and all very thin.

I'd also recommend checking out the ESEE Avispa. Also check out some of the more modern offerings from Victorinox. Spyderco Centofante comes to mind.

I agree with manowar about many of these suggestion not really falling into the same slicer category. People can get mesmerized by how their own knives cut. If it can't compete with an Opinel, I usually don't carry it. The 940 series ain't bad though; pretty thin if I remember correctly. Anyway, I think the 531 or the Gold Class versions of the same might be what you're looking for. That, or an Alan Davis custom...really beautiful work and they look like really beastly slicers.

I agreed with you in my previous post thinking that you were talking about blade thickness, but you're missing some interesting designs like the Centofante series I mentioned, the Kiwi series, the Gayle Bradley Air, the Ulize and Police, the Endura...all of those are pretty slender. Either way, if a knife isn't slender but is flat, it works just the same in pocket.
 
Really I would just get a nice trapper or the case trapperlock which has a thumb stud or the also awesome benchmade 10700 Nagara with Ti scales and nak-lok! Google for it!
