Again, had this knife been a full titanium framelock folder ( both handles from ti ), or a linerlock with thick ti liners, I would have jumped on it like stink on dookey!:thumbup: I really like the blade shape on the knife, and the stonewashed blade finishis also nice. Just wishing........

The one I had was cabbage. Completely asymmetrical grinds and bad lockup. I didn't need to find any more faults with it before I knew it had to go. Don't let the nail nick fool you The Haddock is a one hand opening knife and actually opens very smoothly one handed. How one can compare the Boker Haddock to a Benchmade Monochrome makes my head hurt. They have nothing in common other than the locking mechanism.
The knife is still relevant though and it never hurts to bump an old thread from Gen. Discussion if it helps other people. It's when guys bump 9 month old For Sale threads where the knife has already been sold that doesn't quite make sense.

Just wanted to add that I recently inspected the Haddock's smaller brother Cox, which is a slipjoint. I liked it quite a lot, it is funky, sturdy, different and actually felt more convincing than the Haddock. A pity that, like many German-made Bökers, it is not exactly cheap.
Sorry, couldn't resist - otherwise I think nice knife, though I've no experience with it.
