Just aquired a little Boker Subcom Titan yesterday, got it for $35 and it is worth every penny.
It came very sharp, will shave hair pretty well and plenty sharp enough for me to put it in my pocket without a touch up needed.
It is incredibly light and thin, very easy to carry and pretty comfortable to use, I could probably clip it to my sock and not notice it (but why would I want to do that?). The titanium handles are well finished and quite easy on the eyes, at least until they get scratched up. This knife offers a very secure grip, once you hold it firmly, it isn't going anywhere.
The blade is very thin and quite a slicer, yet it doesn't feel fragile, most likely due to its short and stubby profile. I also like the finish on the blade, its like a very fine brushed finish that feels very smooth and looks nice.
The thumb studs are easy to use and the blade opens quickly and smoothly with a very satisfying "click" which is both very audible and reassuring. The lockup is great and feels solid, more solid than a knife this size needs to but its nice all the same.
This seems to be an overall well bulit and designed knife, capable of edc chores without taking up much space or scaring people when used in public, it also has a uniqueness due to its shape and size and also the Ti frame.
A great buy in my book:thumbup:
