Liking both so far. The lock back in D2 is a solid little blade, great for EDC, hardly even know it’s there. The Copper is a solid little slip joint, very capable and copper ages well. If you are looking for a small, light capable knife, I’d recommend both.

Well I padded an order the other day with a pair of Atlas folders just because. Both are nicely made.
Clips are small but proportional, and they work just fine on my canvas Carhartt shorts.
The sheepsfoot lock back is nice and tight. The lock bar has a strong release but doesn’t have to move far to disengage, which tells me that the engagement must be short. For a light duty knife like this, not a concern.
The spear point slip joint is also tight. The spring is a little lighter than I would prefer, kind of like a Victorinox, but not bad. All in all they are better than expected and I'm pleased with them.

I am German and don't use Boker USA, since it's main seat is in Germany and such, but I got 3 of them already.
First one was the Clip Point Backlock one (D2 blade steel). Second one was an all black classic slipjoint version (12C27 blade steel) that they had sent me as a present from having ordered something above a certain price point. So then, naturally, I fell in love with it too and also got me one with a brass handle (also 12C27 blade steel), where I attached a lanyard and some brass beads.
I would have posted a picture or three, but I am not allowed to upload and I don't wanna upload it to a site that gives me a link. So cumbersome.
Okay, I uploaded the only 2 pictures I had of one of them to a website, so now I can hopefully insert those images below:
(I love me some brass!)
