Most of you probably read Blade magazine frequently and noticed this model in their story on the Boker Co.

Any thoughts on this HK model?

Will it increase the collector value of the cherished Benchmade models? (975 and AFCK)

What will price size? Materials? E.t.c.

Well...I like the looks of it to start with.Also about anything with HK on it appeals to me.The blade style is my favorite-tanto, part serrated and with a black coating.I will have at least one in my collection when they come available.Price?? Good question.Judging by the materials used,around $70 to $80 max. Just a guess.
Speaking of "HK" what other knives out there have HK on them? The only ones I know about are the BM and the "Q"
 
If memory serves, I believe there was the "Glock" style plastic handled field knife made in Austria I think had an H&K stamp a while back. (Correct me if I'm wrong...)
Anybody know who is carrying the H&K Boeker folder in the US? I saw it on a German website a while back, but forgot which one.

I read in the January 2000 issue of Blade that the steel for this knife is Boker's own X-15. IIRC the article said this steel would give ATS-34 and 440C some competition....anyone know more about this new steel?

I, too, am very interested in learning as much as I can about how the blade is performing so any feedback is appreciated. The reason for my interest is that I represent the French steel manufacturer who makes the blade material for Boker here in the US. Because the knife is so new, performance feedback has been relatively scarce. I do not want to use this forum to promote material that I am representing, but if anyone is interested in learning more about the material, I would be very glad to answer any questions. Just for clarification, though, the material has not been used for gun barrels as I have found mentioned on the forum, that material is called GKH (supplied by the same company). X15TN is a NITROGEN bearing steel developed originally for aerospace ball bearing applications.

(If this response sounds familiar it's because I responded to another post about the knife and just did a copy and paste.
