Will, the broken Boye was a 440C folder, the Prophet to be exact. It now resides in my to-be-processed box in my garage along with about 30 other broken things (carburetors, guns, PC power supplies, stereo, etc.)
Pelle, I have worned over 20 different knives in my boot with the last three years being the 970ST. I took it apart once when new to round off all the sharp edges and oiled it once when I put it back together. The only other maintenance procedure in the past three years was to blow it clean with compressed air. I sharpened it three or four time since new. It has seen temperature between -40 (Canada) and +120 (Yuma Proving Ground). I have dove in fresh water, cut aircraft wires, card boards, coffee cans, 55 gallon plastic barrel, etc., with it. I also pried thing off the wall that Mike Turber was hesitating with his high dollar OTF auto. I am looking at the knife right now and there is not a single spot of rust on it. It looks pretty much the same as three years ago. I can not say the same about my other boot knives (Spyderco, Benchmade, Cold Steel, SOG, and customs).
