Description
BO01BO597: Boker Plus Nano Utility Framelock - David Curtiss Design
Boker Plus
 
The Böker Plus Nano is breaking new grounds with David Curtiss' remarkable design. The Nano clearly shows that size and utility value do not have to be in direct correlation to each other. Thanks to its ingenious ergonomics, the Nano perfectly rests in your hand despite the limited size and it handles a variety of smaller and larger cutting tasks with ease and simultaneously provides an excellent level of grip. The structure of the Zytel scale enhances the slip resistance. The bellied blade is made of 440C stainless steel and ensures comfortable handling due to the large opening. A special bonus is the pocket clip. Includes steel handle with frame lock device and front Zytel scale. Includes removable pocket clip (tip-up/tip-down carry).

The Nano is an extremely high quality little folder that feels much larger in the hand. The texturing on the Zytel scales provide adequate grip and the framelock is solid and quite easy to disengage. You can get a full three finger grip on this knife and the jimping on the spine, though not sharp, is very functional. A nice stout little knife, the stonewashed blade and contrasting brushed finish is a beautiful touch at the price point.
 
The clips featuring the crosshairs in the design are the symbol of Curtiss custom designs and were made by the designer David Curtiss himself. They were then shipped to the Boker factory to attach to the knives for a truly custom element to the design.

Cons: Weight, Ease of Opening, Sheath, None
Nice & Solid EDC
This is a nice and solid small knife with a thick blade, but it's a bit heavy for it's size. And to open it with one hand, I had to loosen the blade a little.

I bought this knife as a additional to my EDC selection. So far I am very pleased this little knife. For a small knife the blade is thick and very solid.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Handle Feel, None
Cons: Pocket Clip, Lock Type, Handle Material
i rate it a 3 but consider it a good knife, but with room for improvement. it feels good in my hand and has good ergonomics. the blade sharpnes is exceptional as you know. the handle color of green sux. i took the handle off and painted it with aluma-hyde black epoxy spray used by gunsmiths and it now looks great. the lock is strong and solid. you can, with practice, open and close the knife with one hand. however, there is a bump in the closure that makes it tricky. the pocket clips are good and strong but the screws come loose. you need a torx wrench to tighten them. i got one from a knife supply co. and used some supper glue and that solved the problem.
