This is not Boker, its Boker Plus, which means its not made in Germany. So where is it made? USA, Asia or Europe?

joerocktPretty certain every Boker+ comes from Taiwan.

I will let someone else spend their money on this knife. Not opposed to buying a knife that costs this much if you're getting what you pay for, but to me Damascus isn't an upgrade, it's a downgrade. So this is a knife that costs $300 and for that you're getting titanium, the prestige of carrying an expensive production knife with a known brand name, and... kinda that's it.

reswrightAlmost exactly my thoughts, the Kershaws with Damasteel are half the price, although no titanium. The materials her just don't justify the cost, and as far as I can tell, this is still a Taiwan-made Boker+, which isn't inherently bad, just not a "true" name brand made knife to most.

ecolemanI’m sure you’ve seen the $750 one they sell made from Damascus forged from armor plate recovered from a sunken Kriegsmarine battleship. They seem to have trouble moving the remaining inventory at that price. Fathom that.

This is the Kwaiken that for some reason annoys me the most ,and it's not Damascus it's Damasteel something I prefer to conventional Damascus! I'm pretty sure it's the price coupled with the plain Jane design (and I've seen some shops anodized the handle in what I'll guess is an attempt to get them off the shelves)! Considering it's the only model that has been readily available since the inception of Boker's Kwaiken I'll guess I'm not alone.

Boker's pricing, even on here, is insane.

Well, while I couldn’t justify this one, and I’m not crazy about 8”+ knives, I did stumble across this exclusive Copper Mini Kwaiken from GoingGear and jumped at it. It’s gorgeous.

I'm so in love with my 'wooden mirror' variant that I'm not even tempted. Mirror finish vs. damascus/Damasteel...mirror finish every time. Yes, there will be tears when it scratches but I'm takin' my chances!

ProsthetisLooks like the same price on BladeHQ for the Damasteel and titanium version.

azgliI grabbed one last week for under $300. I must have gotten lucky then. Even with that though you can have it in 2-3 days from them.

This is definitely out of my league. I have resisted paying $168 for the Kizer Feist simply because I couldn’t justify the price. I have wanted a clean looking gentleman’s folder for some time now. Seeing this Boker makes me wonder if I ought to just go for it and get the Feist. 🤔

glennacglennac, I have a decent number of mid-tech folders, many of which I like a whole lot. But how much I really like my Feist really snuck up on me. A big part of the appeal turned out to be the opening method which I wasn't anticipating liking as much as I do. With a little practice I can open it easily 4 different ways and doing so remains satisfying each time. I also really like its geometric simplicity. It doesn't look aggressive when open (I have enough that do), and with most of the blade disappearing into the frame when closed, it doesn't even immediately jump out as a knife. While nearly impossible to point out a favourite of my collection, my Feist is absolutely in the running. I'm not telling you how to spend your money, but I am definitely considering a second one. Initially it was going to be another of the same, but one of them I would modify... but now I have seen the potential new 2019 variants, I think it has to be one of those.

While there is no absolute guarantee they will drop, I can say that I have 200+ knives that I have very rarely purchased on a full retail scale and have typically gotten my purchases for significant deals. Knives pop up for sale in weird places and I just happen to see a lot of those deals and purchase when they are going out of production or similar, or being upgraded to the "new year" and the older stock is getting dumped. With today's search engines, it's hard NOT to get a good deal and while I like MassDrop or "DROP", I think their deals now are anything but.....It's hard to justify a crazy price when I have a case of really cool knives, so why spend more than you need to in order to get it "NOW" .vs. wait a while and see what it drops to.....
