I like the looks of this one. Made in Germany, 440C steel, and 3.5” blade. I like this size, but I know it’s a bit bigger than is popular here.

That looks like a nice knife. I really like that size. I find the average size of a great many traditional knives, 3 1/4" to 3 3/4", too small.
I have struggled with these small knives, and tried to love them, but I can't.

I agree, not generally a fan of small traditionals. I like a lot about this knife, especially the clip point. I would love one in Micarta.

Nice looking knife with good steel, but too large for me to carry comfortably in my pocket. You should be able to get it well under $100 according to the usual discounts off msrp for Boker knives
 
For me it would make a good backpocket knife to carry next to my wallet. Since it appears to be a Solingen-made Böker, quality should be good, too.
 
Looks really, really, really good to me !
I carry this kind of knife almost weekly in my Case Trappers with the spay blade removed.
In a belt pouch.
I like the idea of the bolster on the but end of my Trappers incase I drop the knife it might be less likely to break the bone or stag scales.

Yes this Boker looks like a winner to me.
Pretty pricy at about 130 euros.
I have many Bokers and would expect that to run around $100 or even less here in the USA.
I mean I have a Ti handled Boker lock back with 440C (3-3/4inch blade) that I paid $45 for in 2016. I love the knife. Good stuff !

Yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but hopefully the execution will justify it.
 
The design goes back to a pattern which was found in our 1906 US catalogue, and we all liked it pretty much here at Boker, so we made that new release in 2018.
We had no historical knife of that anymore, so we had to build it completely new from the scratch.

Here´s the old drawing from the 1906 catalogue:
