After closer inspection, you're right bro. Some material, different textures/patrones. Moreover, it has come to my attention that the edge is semi-chisel - on the side with the CLB and Böker Plus logo it's sharpened at ab00t 40 degrees, while on the other side with the serial number it's sharpened at ab00t 20 degrees. It's sharp enough, but you can't shave with it... I've tried 
The plastic used on the handle is different than those used on the SubCom/Trance/M-type series, it gives a rougher and more robust feeling, which is a good thing.
Man of Iron: I think you are a bit premature on this mature. Look closely some more on knives you JUST perchased imho.........
... nytrolon... both of them:grumpy::jerkit: ...hope u get it resolved....i still don't see the Direkt/Edit/Keycom available in the USA as yet 
Washers
Locks solid, especially compared to the Armed Forces I which I saw today. When "comparing" to the framelocks on the other CLBs, to be frank, you can't realy compare them - doesn't enage as smooth as other CLBs,(I miss the click sound) even the Trance/SubCom (one metal washer instead of both on Direkt) do better. However I dunno whether it's caused by the washers or because it's just because the defect on my copy (the blade is placed too closed to one side of the handle) makes the opening/closing of the blade difficult, and already caused a tiny bit of scratch... TJT/Marketing, shall I return it?
The liners hidden inside the handle are very light, and in combination with the plastic handle it gives the whole knife a light weight. Funny thing is the point of balance is located at the "index finger's place" when opened. Moreover, the lanyard hole is too small, a bit more than half in diameter compared to the lanyard holes on other CLBs.
Ab00t the grind: sorry for the confusion, the primary bevel is symmatric, but the secondary bevel/edge is semi-chisel (a bit like Emerson) - regular chisel would be 40/10~5, but the Direkt has angles of 40/20. The tip might seem pointy, but it's not, especially comparing to the Trance's factory needle point, which has become less pointy soon after I started using it. So it's actually a good compromise - pointy enough, yet not too pointy. It's clipped tip-up from the factory, four positions, two on each side.
Hopefully it's just defect on my copy, but the blade is placed too closed to one side of the handle, makes the opening/closing of the blade difficult, and already caused a tiny bit of scratch and taken off a bit of the coating... TJT/Marketing, shall I return it?
Sorry bro, I didn't order the Edit, nor am I planning to purchase one in the near future, not even the SCF:foot:
Enfin, like I said earlier, the overall design is excellent, just lsome minor children's diseases which all can be healed.
PS I've also seen the Valkyrie, not dispointed, but I certainly expected more. Details of finish are good, but not enough to be awed. It's actualy single edged, unlike the sharpened false edge suggested by the picture.
God bless and who's leading in points???
!!!
Aloha MOI,
Hey sorry about your DIREKT...I would definitely return it as it is obvious that your blade is NOT centered. My DIREKT ME makes that, "CLACK!!!" sound when opened, and is perfectly centered. The tip on my "DME" is also pointy and even...
Odd how yours arrived..."tip UP???" Mine came tip down.
What is going on here???
Anyway, hope you can work this out with Boker...and I do apologize for your "DPE"...
God bless and keep us posted please.
Second of all, my Direkt did arrive in "tip-up", my bad.
The PE next to it had a serial of 500-ish. Hopefully I'll get a low serial Direkt. *sighs*Thanks bro. Sorry for the confusions... again. First of all, I was no good in recognizing the Differences bewteen the M-type and Hyper.
Anyways, I've returned the knife this morning, and ordered the Edit and Rampage along with it, expecting them in 2 weeks. Wouldn't mind if Böker tries to make up with me by sending me a CLB cap. Wish me luck.
PS still don't know how the heck my Hyper SE was serialized #30???!!!
You must have a job like mine...
It's all good though...I wanna see these numbers hit #2000...then #3000, then...), returned the defected copy, went home and kept on saying things like "tip-up"do take some time off work
I did go home from work after just 2 hours, was feeling terribly misserable. Then I hit the local weaponstore (not literally
Moreover it has come to my attention that the liner of the Direkt is quite difficult to reach, because the handle was way too symmetric... It would have been easier if it had a curve around the liner... Merely a suggestion.
Alas, still a long way to go completing the CLB all black collection... besides that, I would love to be wielding one Lava in each hand
