Have any of you seen the limited edition Boker Neil Blackwood Pipsqueak in 3V?

I know given this knife's unusual size many people will have different takes on it. Personally, I've always been intrigued by it, from all of the premium materials in one compact knife.

Initially it was released as a titanium framelock with the front having titanium liners and a micarta scale. S35VN steel, add in a micarta backspacer

this is the new limited edition in 3V. This time around, the micarta scale has been replaced with 1 solid piece of orange G10(so no titanium liner). The micarta backspacer looks like it's still there.

I would imagine 3V would work well on this since it looks like a relatively thin blade.

Looks like a fun knife. But I honestly don't get the point of 3V on such a short stout folding knife.

I mean...what're they gonna do? Chop down a tree with it? I'd think that the better edge holding of S35Vn would be much more desireable in a small EDC type blade along with the better corrosion resistance than the Toughness that 3V brings to the game.


Honestly...I think they're just messing with you there. Using the "trendy" steel to get more sales

I agree,, very small short bladed knife.looks toylike in the last picture.

I think it is very cool that the shape of the clip is the profile of the knife.

You are probably right, for all intents and purposes S35VN should be fine. I can only think of the reason for 3V would be for using the knife for 'less orthodox' purposes, where worrying about breaking the tip wouldn't be an issue.

I associate the orange g10 with 'emergency tool', but you're right a knife this small I can't imagine anyone using it for anything other than light chores.

At first I thought you ment the Boker Plus Nano.
I have always wanted a Nano or War Toad. I don't know why. Some things just can't be explained rationally . . . and yet . . . there they are.

So yeah if it were a Nano in 3V I would be ordering it. it's a natural; see "Some things . . . " above.
and I hate orange handled knives so . . . nah dude, nah.

PS: I hope you realize there was a lot of kidding there in.
