Boker Titan 1?

Does anybody have this particular knife? If so could you post some pics or give me your opinion on it?

I don't have it but I have been examining it. It's really pretty sweet and light.
If I remember well, it has a relatively old-fashioned kind of steel: 4034 (some German id) which you could say is between 420 and 440A in quality.

its 440c according to their website.

VERY thin knife, and super lightweight. That swedge is only done on one side, by the way. Don't know if that matters to you or not.

I was not impressed by the edge holding ability of the blade, and I'm not a big fan of metal handles. The knife is quite thin and light, in fact it is thin enough to affect the ergonomics. You won't be doing any heavy cutting with this one.

I don't have any pix of mine, and I'm going to be busy tomorrow, but I can probably dig it out and shoot some pictures Sunday.

I just checked here - that said indeed 4034 as I remembered, which is somewhat better than 420.

In general it's obviously designed as a light use gentlemen knife.

EDIT: fyi I always had a soft spot for its smaller brother, the Titan 2: a modern featherweight titanium-handled gentlemen knife. One day I will succumb to the temptation.

I've got the Titan 2. Super thin, super light. Great fit and finish. Locks up tight. Still don't carry it much. I always seem to grab a Boker or Hen & Rooster stockman.

A few pix to chew on.

With a Spyderco Caly 3 and a Case trapper for size comparison.

Nice knives I have had one a few years now double heat treated if I remember rightly ? Ti handel .
blade has some flex witch can be very usefull. The thin profile makes a good EDC hard to spot the out line through jeans pockets :thumbup:

I used a Titan I for years back in the 70's. It is a decent pocket knife. I moved on when pocket clips, thumbstuds, and better steels came along. I broke the lock spring, and Boker replaced the whole knife. It is still one of the thinnest knives I own.
