What do you use your Böker Nano for?

[Cereal_killer]

I have been intregued by the little nano even since first handling one but I struggle to purchase such a knife with my ladybugs/manbug taking care of all my small knife tasks. What jobs do you use yours for and how do you carry it (pocket clip/loose/keychain/other)? I am especially interested to hear from anyone who carries it on their keys.

I love the features/ styling but I'm just not convienced its a very use knife (again with the small spyderco's I already own doing everything I ask).

Another question- has anyone ever gifted one to a non-knifeaholic (someone who EDC's a knife but isn't "crazy" like us) and if so how did they react, did they like/carry/use it?

Don't have one, have used one. It's a "little big knife" like Kershaws Ton series, the Benchmade 755 MPR, the Spyderco Dragonfly, and many others. Thick plus short blade equals lots of power in a small package. I guess I'd say it's for people who want a smaller knife, but not a delicate slicer.

The Boker Nano frame lock was designed by David Curtiss and is just like his custom but much cheaper. It's much bigger than my LadyBug SS Tattoo which I also have on my keychain. The Nano is a handy little folder that sits comfortably in your hand. Very good ergonomics. Use for a variety small utilitarian cutting tasks and even prying. The green and orange colors are very friendly to non-knife folks. Very unintimidating.

It makes a fantastic coupon clipper. Seriously.

I don't use mine for anything. I hate the design. The ergos are among the worst I've ever used. YMMV

Ok 2 other questions- can anyone provide a picture in hand? And how is sharpening them on stones, a pita with a 2 finger grip?
