WOW!
Here's the custom David Curtiss Nano -- $285 and out-of-stock:

Here's the production version -- the Boker Plus Nano David Curitss model.
Street price is just a bit over $40 and it's just now arriving at dealers:

(Mods -- this particular dealer regularly advertises here, so I hope it is alright for me to illustrate these two knives using these links. Thanks.)
Both knives are frame locks and essentially the same size.
Boker's production Nano uses 440C steel instead of CPM-154 Powder Steel, and textured Zytel instead of G10 and Titanium. The clip is SS instead of Titanium.
Closed, both folders are 3-inches in length. The custom weighs 2.8 oz and the production weighs 2.9.
The scales handle color on the custom is called lime green and the production is called toxic green.
Both appear to have a two-tone satin/stone-washed blade with a similar-sized hole opener.
In looks, they are about as close as a production and custom can be.
Initial impressions: Out-of-the box, mine is sharp, the blade is well-centered, and it opens and closes smoothly.
The Nano (either one) would make a fine, and non-threatening, EDC.
The shape reminds me of a smaller Boker Pipsqueak.
Boker's QC has been spotty and some of mine have come with issues.
But my Pipsqueak and Nano Curtiss are just about perfect.
If you have lusted after the David Curtiss Nano as I have, but didn't want to pay nearly $300 list, your ship has just come in.
Now Boker, how about an orange version? At this price, I can afford two Nanos.
