I was browsing the new pre-orders at knifecenter and came across this-http://www2.knifecenter.com/item/BO01BO374/boker-plus-usa-folding-knife-154cm-satin-plain-blade-gun-metal-blue-frn-handles. It says it's made in the US with 154CM steel and comes in at 2.1oz. It has a 3.375" blade and 4.125" handle, which is a very decent blade to handle ratio. A Spyderco Delica comes in at 2.875" blade and a 4.25" handle and weighs 2.3oz, the Boker is more efficient in size and weight than one of my (and many others) favorite EDC folders. Plus it's made in the USA!

So, has anyone here had experience with the US produced Bokers? How's the fit and finish? As always, thanks for all the input and help!

Here's some picks-

It looks like a pretty cool knife for the price. It actually reminds of the FRN knives that Fox USA is putting out, and I wonder if they're not the OEM on this one.

I've been eyeballing the MP-3 it is made by Fox Italy

That's what made me stop and take a look. They're two of my favorite blade companies and I actually thought it might be a new folder from one of them at first glance. It does say that it's being made by Fox Knives in the USA so that's a big plus to me.
 
These are made by Fox USA for Böker, so you can expect some quality work.
Also tried to get the best blade/handle ratio out of it without sacrificing strength, don't like knives with crap proportions :D

They are supposed to be available on 1st of April (no joke ;) ).
