Boker is a great company. Although they had some issues in the past, I think it could been Fallkniven if it had played the market well. This is Boker Plus - so suspect not made in the main Boker factor? Nonetheless I committed to find out the Boker Plus quality. I hope MD will bring more of fixed blade line up from Boker.

Why 440C?

TortoiseThunder440C is pretty rust resistant and its a strong stainless steel. My friend bought me a 440c custom knife last christmas and I asked myself the same question. Why would someone spend time building a custom knife with 440 steel. But after some research and some field tests the steel held up very well. I came back from a wet 5 day trip with rust on my 1095 BoB knife, but not on the custom 440c. As far as a low maintenance wilderness knife goes 440C fits the bill well.

TortoiseThunderI think 440C has gotten a bum rap because its been churned out it in poor quality knives, but it is actually a really good knife steel and not as brittle as I had heard. Also the second part to a good blade besides the steel type is the heat treatment. Buck has built their reputation on a very good heat treatment of 420HC(!).
But don't take my word for it, listen to a custom knife maker: http://www.jayfisher.com/440C_Love_Hate.htm

Why do the Germans (for that matter, Austrians, as well) like these monolithic hunters / fixed blades? (Hubertus, Böker, etc.) Strong for sure, I suppose, but are they comfortable, non-fatiguing, etc.? Lynn C Thompson of Cold Steel has gotten in on the act with his monolithic Drop Forged series now out of ball bearing steels like 52100. Genuinely curious...

I hadn’t thought of that but I have these big ol’ ogre mitts, so I’m not sure if I’d be uncomfortable. I‘m a stones-throw away from being able to featherstick with my thumbnail, lol!

That's interesting... However, in wet messy situations, would an all-steel handle provide enough grip? Also, on this particular knife, looks like there are corners in the skeletonized section where dirt and grime can still get lodged in.
I can't say I regularly get my knives dirty, but so far I haven't really had issues cleaning their handles - especially those which are basically one piece of polymer; like on moraknivs or fallknivens.
