Boker Kalashnikov mini automatic

[Jamesmyers14]

Just ordered one couldn't pass up the deal on eBay. How does this knife perform and what are your opinions on it?

I have the full size auto. I found the blade had some play, until I tightened up the pivot crew a little and used some lock tight on it.
Blade keeps a decent edge.
The pocket clip is a little large for my liking.
Have knifes with a more comfortable grip.
But for the price, I like it. I will never use it every day. More of a novelty item for myself.

Wish I could find the mini auto on EBAY.

Want a display box for it?

I have the larger model. It's a fun knife, I like the kick it has on opening. Certainly worth the money. So far mine is in good shape, I carry it a lot on property but I don't use it that much.

I'm under the impression the majority of them are conversions, so one caveat: bought mine at a gun show, they guy telling me that it was covered by Boker warranty and that they would replace the spring if it broke, etc. Well, Boker won't repair conversion autos sent to them. So be aware of that.

Main thing I do is close it slowly and try to baby the spring. I don't know how long it will last before it breaks but I have no complaints so far and the AUS8 steel seems fine and takes an easy sharp edge.
