Ive been eyeballing this little guy since I saw it but as its only been recently released, but now that more vendors are stocking this knife, I just had to pick one up to pique my interest.
As you can see, it's only maybe a quarter longer than a Subcom (Wharcom). As another initial review mentioned, the fit and finish is phenomenal not unlike the Boker Exskeliber. Everything is put together like a high end knife. In sharp edges anywhere. Simple design like the Exskeliber with the use of 2 screws, the pivot with what appears to be some sort of stamp torn, or what they call jeweled pivot and another long torx to hold the back of this frame lock titanium folder. Zero play, so so tight in tolerances. Feels like any Taichung Sypderco and wouldn't be surprised if it was made in Taiwan and the info above is wrong. It isn't stamped on any part of the knife. The knife is serialized on the scale.
Blade is a somewhat unique take on the tanto with what I think is a scandi grind. Super harp out of the box. As the tip is higher on the blade, it cuts similar to a wharncliff, as the bottom angle touches down first. So, you can cut straight down, but also push cut using the upper edge. The grind is very nice, fairly even not perfect but close. No jumping and no choil; what I would consider a dexterity knife that is highly maneuverable but somewhat hard to get a firm feel with no identifiable points, except the flat ends around the neck. No separation between edge and that flat edge.
Deep pocket clip but only tip down right hand. As the entire package is so thin, this would be the ideal money clip folder. It might even be that, I don't know.
I think it may be contender for thinnest sand lightest knife available. It feels amazing. Quality all around you can just feel.
All in all, I really like it. Not as useful as the Subcom/wharncliff which might hurt be the best mini knife design. However, it's half the weight and almost half the size.. and it feels amazing. If you like these small kind or things. It is one of those Bakers that really impresses for Boker.
