I am thinking about replacing the Lahar with the Boker Exskellibur. I dont mind the 440c, I can sharpen it whenever.

What do you think about the Leaf storm, I am thinking about getting it instead of the Mcusta... I dont know. I really like the Mcusta but I feel like I would carry the Leaf storm more...

I would take a Leaf Storm over a Mcusta but they are very different knives.

Yes, they are. I prefer the aesthetics of the Mcusta but I think the Leaf Storm would see more pocket time.

I have one and love it but if you carry it in your right hip pocket plan on switching the clip to tip up carry. Mine came with the clip in the tip down holes and the problem with that is if you reach into your pocket for anything besides the knife, the thumb flicker and jimping will tear your hand up pretty good. The jimping on this knife is like a file, sharp and secure.
Tip up however and you get a pretty nice knife for under $65. I love the action and weight.
However, if you compared the Boker Exskellibur to something like a Spyderco FFG Endura 4 in your choice of colors I think you'll discover that you may get more knife for the same money.
Regardless, I love my Exskellibur since switching the clip to tip up. If you do this make sure you heat the screws up with a soldering station or iron to minimize the chance of stripping those super small Phillips head screws in the clip.
The fit and finish on mine is superb for being Chinese. The lockbar fits perfectly but it would be nice it the lockbar were thicker.
