After one week of edc here is my first impression. The look of exskelibur I is growing on me. The combination of black textured g10, blue anodized ti lockside liner, and boker's trademark red thin liner reminds me of a tailored italian suit. The opening mechanism is addictive to say the least. Using the side of my thumb against the jimping on the blade spine, I can flip the blade open like how I would open a zippo lighter. The liner lock snaps crisply, without sounding forceful or tactical, fitting for a gentleman's folder. I have taken it out in restaurants and it does not attract strange looks from others like my overbuilt framelocks do. Yet when it's open, the blade is broad, and has plenty of cutting edge for all but the most heavy duty tasks.
Every design of the knife fits that of a gentleman's folder. The only gripe I have so far is the smoothness of the pivot. I think mine came without enough oil or is dried out. So it sounds a bit scratchy right now. If I were to improve this knife, I would use thinner washers in the pivot. This would make the tolerances tighter around the blade. And we all appreciate knives built with high precision.
One note about the exskelibur vs exskelimoor. The exskelimoor handle is symmetric in that it has ti liners on both sides, while the exskelibur only has ti liner on the lockside, with only g10 on the nonlock side. This makes the exskelibur thinner (maybe lighter) than the exskelimoor. while i prefer the thinness of the exskelibur since it looks sexier, the blade is not aligned on the center axis of the handle, much like the blade on the spyderco southard.
That's all I have after one week of carrying and opening letters and boxes. If you have specific questions pls ask. I have all 4 models so I'll answer them as best as I could.
