I'm trying out different brands, and wanted to know if you would rather purchase the Cold Steel Pocket Bushman over the Boker Titan Drop? To me, they are similar in profile, and look nice. I won't buy both, so again, which one? If they both "suck", I won't buy either. Thanks guys.
 
To me they look the same, but I just did a quick check on both. I recommend you look at steel quality and stuff like that. Also, one other difference I saw was the length. So what will it be used for?
 
I vote Boker Titan, better materials in my opinion (440C blade and titanium handle). This knife slipped under my radar, I might have to get one myself.
 
For general use id pick the boker from your choices. I own the cs pb and I like it but its akward to open and close and its big and heavy. I use mine in the swamp often and it does well, but the bead blasted handle on mine rusts spots like crazy. For general use to me the pocket bushman wouldn't work well. Its not great for fast open and close and you need to use both hands to do it. Sometimes I can open mine open handed, but there is no way to close it. Hope that helps you out a bit.
 
I have both knives and consider the Boker to be superior and safer. It's made of better materials as well. The steel seems like real 440C unlike a lot of the chinese made knives that claim 440 steel. The Boker has a thicker blade and I had to slim mine down to make it as good a slicer out of the box, to be honest. Even with that I like it much more.
 
I ordered a boker plus titan drop point 2 hours ago (along with a few other toys), you guys are a bad influence ;).

I'll post a pic and a quick review when I get it.
