Few shakes and then some. It's an extremely thin and light blade, so can't complain about not free dropping. I have had it swing all the way down on my finger a couple of times when I didn't have my thumb in place to catch the flipper tab as it dropped.

As if it was a mystery who WE Knives is. You shouldn't be blowing up this thread with your pointless drivel (6 of the 19 posts). Leave the comments for people talking about this knife, people interested about it, or asking questions.

Actually, he contributes much more than monetarily. More so than say, announcing you found a brands website...

You should heed my advice because all you're doing is adding pointless content, as am I while having this meaningless discussion with you, to a persons review of a knife that gives insight on a very limited run of a knife to better help current or future purchasers of said knife. You're reaching the point of trolling, which is not acceptable, and moderators typically put a stop to people that do not add any sort of benefit or discussion to what the thread represents. You have yet to make 1 post that is, as I just stated, a benefit or added discussion to this thread. Your first post talks about false specifications of the knife, which it takes 1 google search to get correct, as well as making a comparison to a knife that's nothing like the mini arrow, they are polar opposites other than materials used. Your second post started discussing two different steels, and saying how you think one steel is better than another, which this thread isn't about recommendations or steel discussion (there are enough of those already). Had you said something along the lines of "it would be nice if this was in 20cv", than that's completely different than saying one steel is better than another. Continuing through your posts, you eventually start talking about Medford's and D2, once again neither of those has any room for discussion in this thread. This is the only thread on this forum so far that is talking about the Mini Arrow, which I am also an owner of, and it deserves it's proper respect to be a discussion thread and not a random spout off thread. You're doing a major disservice to bladeforums members, Boos Blades, and the OP by posting what you're posting. I also don't appreciate having to weed through your futile posts in order to get to the actual discussions discerning this knife, and I'm sure other forum members feel the same. I've said my two cents, as well as adding my feedback about this knife towards the overall discussion, please don't taint this thread any further, as this shall be my last post doing the same.
 
Back on track, I'm loving this knife, even after the initial infatuation of first holding it. An almost perfect EDC knife that'll fit into almost any cities knife laws.

Thanks for those attempting to keep this thread on point and purpose driven. I have just added a one week in EDIT at the bottom of the original post if anyone is interested in my final thoughts for this review. Thanks

Mine is landing in Friday, and I am curious, but tempering my excitement.

I know full well that it may be too small for my hands, wearing an XL glove, it will be close.

I have been keeping my eyes peeled for options, and I have been eyeing the ZT 460, and a small sebenza, but I am open to others.
 
That bronze/cf version is calling me. Looks great.

Question - is the clip screwed in from the back or milled with the scale? Not seeing the hardware. Thanks.

Edit - blind screws from the back per the video review. Got it.

This has become my "annoy" the wife knife. It is so fun to just play with around the house, nice flipping action and light enough to carry in gym shorts. It is just a bit too small for my daily carry though, still fun. Someone was questioning the steel, a knife this size S35Vn is more than adequate. S35Vn will handle more than what this knife is capable of due to its size.
 
Yea length wise very similar, the mini grip or the mini aero are just short of being that perfect length for a full grip for a large size hand. As it is though, when you go to make a cutting motion, for me, it just slides up a little so it feels like it gets no pinky finger support. I still love the knife too much to get rid of because of just that one issue. If it were a touch longer... maybe a 1/4” it would be perfect. The mini grip also feels a touch short, and a bit fuller in the hand. The clip on the mini aero is smaller and creates less of a hot spot though.

Last night my fiancé and I sat down to watch Bright. A couple minutes later she says “are you flipping your knife?” I was :D

Very fun to play with, very positive sound!

I use a folding razor knife for most of my cutting throughout the day at work, so my carry knives end up generally just being shown off.
 
Ok, well my Mini Aero landed, and it is as I had feared...

If I had been carrying a Benchmade 940 regularly, I think I would be fine with the sizing. But coming from Large 21 Sebenza, it feels like a huge jump in size.

Due to that, I have it in my signature and the exchange...
 
Wow , very impressive knife. If I may be permitted a noob question, will Boos produce this in quantity? It's sold out on his website and no indication of another batch.
