Everyone's latest acquisitions!

Finally getting around to sharing my Christmas haul. My girlfriend got me a Boker Germany Barlow, with an integral Micarta handle and Bohler N690 steel 2.6" blade. The Barlow is a design dating back to the 1690s in England, where it was the first wildly popular EDC due to its reliability and price. The extra long bolster (in the case of this knife just a different colour of burlap Micarta) gave the knife more strength. I doubt that this will be my last Barlow knife.

My family got me a Shun Classic Nakiri, with an ebony pakkawood handle and a 6.5" blade made from a VG-MAX core with 34 layers of SUS410/SUS431 stainless steel and nickel. My often neglected collection of kitchen knives just got a big shot in the arm.

My first custom has arrived this morning. And it is my first lefty flipper as well.
I hope it will stand the test of time because my initial impressions are really good.

Not a great picture because the lighting is pretty bad:

I have one also and I love it.
 
Boker Sherman EDC. This is a pretty sweet knife... And a nice refinement over the Boker M4 Sherman that it is based on. It's a titanium framelock (the M4 Sherman was steel) flipper running on bearings. MagnaCut steel, marbled carbon fiber show side, a really nice pocket clip, and a damascus back spacer made from the parts of a WW2 Sherman tank. :D
