check out these sweet new Argentinian Bokers!

I haven't seen them yet, but some decent knives are coming out of Böker's Arbolito plant in Argentina. I own 2 Argentinian made Bökers: a recently purchased Top Lock model 707 and a Boker-Matic. The Boker-Matic obviously has the gadget factor, and the Top-Lock is good as well. I had heard that there were some QC issues with the Argentine Bökers in the past, but my Top-Lock works fine. Good lockup with no play in any direction.
 
will check them out and let you know, after all, livng here has some benefits ;-)

about the quality of the folders, they are VERY nice, but a locking system of a Speed Lock failed on me while stabbing a tree (don't ask) and i eneded up with a nasty cut on my lil finger :-(

bye!

It's not 420 J2 :D

BTW, I just got the A.G.Russell Late Summer catalog this morning, and he has these knives on his front cover.
 
They ARE sweet looking ; good for display or that next hunting
trip ;) But if I could carry a fixed blade around town, it would
be the Eickorn G-3 bayonet ;) Sadly, fixed blades, unless used for
"lawful hunting purposes" are confined by laws. I'll stick with my
Spydies :) as in the "sunshine state" I can carry these in the open
and not get hassled ( by cops or BG's ) ;)

A.E.T. ;)

Why exactly do you like 440A??

It's a decent steel and easy to sharpen. It's not state of the art, but it's usable. If you do alot of heavy cutting every single day of the week, I would recommend a steel with better edge holding properties, but if you're going to carry and use it casually I think 440A will last you a while.
 
Actually i'm glad to see 440A because it's not 420 (I really don't mind 440A.)
To be honest I was expecting/worried about them being carbon steel (I loathe rust).
It pleases me to see these lovely knives in a decent stainless steel.
