Well if you're taking that name, I want "Bleeds like a fountain":p

Hit a roadblock on my design though. Made more progress on it, but got a little frustrated with the latch. Spend two hours making something I thought would fit, and when I tried it, it didn't fit...

I'll come back to it tomorrow.

Here's what the ad copy says when tranlated by Babelfish:

The Chad a feeling for small, compact measurers does not only have, shows its newest draft. It connects a strong and wuchtige AUS-8-Klinge in elegant way with an ergonomically formed grasp from glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The blade locks like the model Subcom over the proven Frame LOCK. The high-grade steel tie-clip always holds the Trance at your equipment access ready. Overall length 16.7 cm. Blade 6.8 cm. Weight approx.. 90 g.

As I happen to speak Bökerlingo, here is my translation:

With his latest design, Chad proves that he also has an instinct for other than small and compact knives. Elegantly, he combines a powerful and massive AUS-8 blade with an ergonomic handle of glass fibre reinforced plastic. As with the Subcom, the blade locks with the trusted frame lock. Clipped to your equipment with the steel clip, the Trance is always easily accessible. Overall length 6.6 in, blade length 2.7 in, weight ca. 3.2 oz.

The odd thing is that on Boker's official site, the page in german for the trance says:

"Gesamtlänge 16,7 cm. Klinge 6,8 cm. Gewicht ca. 90 g"

And when you click the english flag and follow the same path to the trance you get:

"Gesamtlänge 11,5 cm. Klinge 4,6 cm. Gewicht 66 g"

Wich is in fact the description from the Subcom Folder Rescue...

If the webmaster's listening...

We shall see. I ordered from my German dealer:
a trance, a black subcom, a rescue, a wharcom, some more subcoms which make nice presents. He is the very same dealer who has been having my order for a SF for a year or so. Now let's wait for the postman, and once I got the trance I will talk and talk and talk about it...

I was also intrigued about the AO. It sais nothing neither in the catalog nor on the website about this. Otherwise, the knife is fine. Seems very ergonomic, just like the other CLB designs and I like that the handles have the same pattern like there is at the Biscuit. Surprising how things move when it's a good design. I mean, neither Terry nor Chad knew nothing about this, but the knife is already in the works. This should tell a thing or two about how the knife feels and performs if it passed the tests that easily :)
