Just ordered this knife about an hour ago because of your video. I love all the boker kalashnikov knifes and really like this one! Thank you very much for the download and keep em coming!
I was looking into this knife and on the fence, this was a great video, ordered it just after watching this and am very happy with it, keep up the good work
@@DaveLikesKnives Well, I got the knife! Button quite hard to engage, but that is great, you feel the strength of the spring shooting out the blade. The handle was not overly big and fits perfectly as a no-slip hand-conform device. Very heavy, seems indestructible. I would have added a skull crusher with lanyard hole.... Other than that there is nothing I would say that lags. So some people lost some screws. That can happen. My screws are firm. Also Böker has a more expensive model OTF Coyote for those who want an even more expensive knife. I think this is a brick that gets the job done with flying colors. And the blade shape is a Wow!
06:54 You're welcome - watching the strain it takes to fire the blade in that awkward position I was actually thinking your hand would fall into the blade path when the threshold of the deployment mechanism was exceeded. That thank you was so sincere, it was the cherry on a sundae of a knife review. Easy subscribe. I'm browsing your uploads after this.
I know I'm a little late to the game, but I just ordered the dagger point O.G. version in D2 and this one too. Hoped on the TH-cams and yours was the first video I got on them. Thanks for the info and making me not regret my impulse purchase! Lol.
@@DaveLikesKnives sorta went on a little buying spree since the other day...have one of each size on the way now. From the sub on up to the XXL and including the slim. Figured why not. Four are D2 and the other 3 are AUS 8. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
@@DaveLikesKnives well I got it....and it's freaking awesome! It's light as a feather and wicked snappy. Overall I'm extremely pleased with all of the different sizes and models now that I have them side by side. The XXL is just plain ignorant and I love it for that tho! You have any questions about the slim or a different model hit me up. Best wishes to you and yours brother!
lol. I got concerned comments just whipping out my Code 4 clip point at my previous job. I can imagine you around the corner grinning maliciously and saying "that's not a knife..."
I agree, D2 is a better steel,but I still don't take much issue with AUS8. Now .4116, 4034, 420J2, 3-5cr...even 7cr...that's where I draw the line. Thank for the video.
For the money it's simply a decent OTF. Kinda funny looking with the huge handle tho :) Another OTF in the same price range I can recommend is the russian Daggerr Koshei.
Thanks for the review! Like any tool, the handle has to fit the hand, and my glove size is XL to XXL depending on the glove. I have a microtech and it's a marvel, but the handle is so slim for me that it wants to slide right out, or if used to puncture in a pushing/stabbing motion, my hand wants slide right over onto the blade. Because of this, it's more of a novelty for me. It seems this Boker OTF has the meat I need to securely grip the knife no matter how cold or wet my hands are or if I'm wearing gloves. If I end up buying this knife, this will be my 4th Boker in D2.
@@DaveLikesKnives Been using it for a month now at home and work and I love it! It's my new favorite EDC. Fit's my hand perfect, I feel it's safer to carry vs. a pre-loaded side opener and the blade quality is perfect for what I use it for (heavy cardboard, thick plastic sheeting, plastic bags, opening boxes, etc.) It looks a little odd due to the handle being so larger than the blade, but it's totally functional.
Boker does have a D2 khalashnikov. And an S35 one for only about 20 bucks more than the standard. They're distributor exclusives but they do exist you just gotta look around Bladeops has the ones I mentioned
emerson otf combination would be cool, just have to be ready and not slice your hip or pocket on the way out. I'm sure the design could be figured out. Two of my favorite deployments on knives.
I have actually seriously cut myself before with folding knives. I would be focused on a task and then carelessly close the folder and the blade would spring shut on my fingers; I'm a klutz, what else can I say. So now I only use an OTF or a fixed blade knife.
I'm kinda interested in that new compact otf boker made for blade show 21 its only 60ish. It looked smaller then the Mt exocet and has a side button. Also that boker/ hogue collaboration was a joke in vg10 at 400ish.
I just found out about them recently and gotta say it's hard to trust something on aliexpress. Let me know what you think of yours because I would love to hear about them being good!
Hahaha Hey dude, r u related to automotive reviewer Scotty Kilmer on here ? By the way that u talk with ur hands, I'd think so and always cracks me up lol. Anyway, I'm looking at the plus version and is made in the US, is that a plus ?
If your head canon is that we’re related, then my head canon will become that his cousin is a beautiful man. And plus version? It’s produced by cobratech which I think is out of China but I don’t really care about that.
I don’t hate it like I used to, but it’s still criminally ugly. The plus side of the bumpiness is that you can grab it to help draw, but naysayers would argue that other knives don’t have that “feature” or problem. *shrugs*
Great vid my friend. I've noticed you have an 06 auto, when you first got it was it slow opening? I know there is a break in period but I'm just wondering cause mine seems like it's getting faster with use. My Kershaw launch flys open to the point if I don't have a good hold it will jump outta my hand. What's your thoughts? Maybe a mega coil spring? I have to say you need more subs your content is very informative and to the point. Keep up the great work
I appreciate the praise, but I know my other Launch 1 (not the all black) snaps so hard it jerks my hand like you’re talking about. I am going to do a spring change on my 06 at some point because I want it to hit harder than it does (it is better than at first but still sluggish) but I’m not doing the super spring. On... knifekits? there are three severities of spring and I’ve heard stories of the big boy screwing up their 06’s stop pin. The smallest should add some much needed snap without the dreaded SNAP.
POCKET CHECK(me) ! Boker Kalsh in black, wharncliffe blade, automatic. U the same? It has slayed HUNDREDS of Amazon boxes and shipping envelopes!! I am buying one of these Boker Klash OTF right now. I didn't know. MUST HAVE!! Thanks so much!
Blue is light, it’s easily broken but you have to do it intentionally. Red is PERMANENT. If you use red locktite, the screw is done. You’re gonna have to break it to open it. Purple is weird because it’s supposed to be a medium between the two but I can’t imagine a use case to which that would apply.
If you're in Law Enforcement, EMS, Fire Dept, Military, you can get a Microtech Ultratech for 40% off through Microtech's Servuce Personnel program....
Böker is a famous knifemaker that has nice folders made out of Tirpitz and tank armour. I think Microtech is about name and technology, which went a bit too far from reality, like Strider. I think that a German-made knife cannot be bad. D2 steel is more than good enough. And who uses an OTF knife anyway? Should be illegal to carry in 99% of the civilized world. So I think Böker nailed it with this design..... Handle is made for men not kids.:) Lol!
I know you know knives but I'm going to say this boker is the oldest folder knife company in the world the Cobra tech knives are very good for the price I own 3i have the otf light weight the Diablo side open and the rycker side open all are d2 the rycker and the Diablo have micarta scales the light weight has aluminum handles and no blade wobble $165for all 3
that sounds like a great deal. i wish i had more experience with cobra stuff but unfortunately i dont think ive ever handled one. im glad you like yours though.
i think, the most convenient, pocket friendly and intelligent design in otf category i ever saw. The best one in design surely
Not my favorite design, I'd love to play with a Guardian Tactical. But I do think it's the best design for the money.
Just ordered this knife about an hour ago because of your video. I love all the boker kalashnikov knifes and really like this one! Thank you very much for the download and keep em coming!
Say it louder and maybe they’ll finally send me a D2 Wharny. On the real, I’m glad this was helpful for you! Let me know how you end up liking it.
I actually like it quite a bit. Little bit hard on the thumb but I just need to suck it up. Lol
How often can u open/close the knife until it breakes? And do u like have to oil the mechanism inside once a year idk?
I was looking into this knife and on the fence, this was a great video, ordered it just after watching this and am very happy with it, keep up the good work

You are among my most cherished of sons.

THANK YOU!
But also thank you.
Just picked this up with a dagger blade sharpened on both sides. It's a great knife.
Just saw that and I’m excited to pick one up

@@joeisabella6811 I gotta know what you think about the slim. I was about to order it myself and then just put it off until I lost interest.

Love all my kalashnikov's! I daily carry the otf along with a Espada xl. Kalashnikov for stuff and the Espada for people.

I had no idea Daggerr had an otf. Thanks for the heads up, I really need to check out some of their stuff.
How do you buy the daggerr one? Can’t seem to find it
I love your reviews. Thank you it is a pleasure to watch. Cool otf.
Thanks friendo, I enjoy your stuff as well.
What’s the best sharpener you can recommend for this knife?
Nice video!
Thanks!
These are popular, can’t find them anywhere! It’s the one OTF I would edc.
Green one at BladeOps is in stock, let me know what you think when you end up getting it!
Yeah I found one. Just didn’t look hard enough!)))

Only the standard shape, not the fun ones.
How has it held up?
Lovely, I've noticed hiccups a couple of times but I blow some WD-40 down the pipe and it's perfect again.

I do prefer the pocket clip on this over the one on the side-deploying AK, but I’m not sure why latter gets so much hate.

Suggested retail price ?
It goes for ~$115 most places
You know much about the AKC OTF’s?
I don’t yet, but as cheap as they are Im gonna pick one up soon.
@@DaveLikesKnives looking forward to that review
Fit your Boker button to your Microtech.
Don't know if it'd fit but I'm tempted to try
Wish I could use this as my edc... but alas I live in lame California. Looks like I can only carry the boker usb otf
Do you have the USB? How do you like it?
Why not red Loctite????

Blade Ops has an exclusive OTS Kalashnikov in D2. 😃
Not coated or wharny. BHQ used to carry an XHP and somebody carries an S30V... but none of them are coated. No can do for a work knife.
blade style looks like a AK bayonet
It does
I wait for the New SOG Pentagon Otf
I’m already saving for it, so excited. Gerber and SOG are making great stuff again and I’m here for it.
Horribly overpriced unfortunately.
Bro
Shoulda got a microtech lol
Bro
I’ve had one for years lol
😂
*returns laughy face*
Nice handle with crappy 1980's style blade....
So you’re a positive finger grooves kinda man.
What knives? I just see some dude's skinny fingers in a video.
And a very sharp finger nail, which is what I use to open boxes.
Lost me at cobratec
fair enough
You lost me at other black scary. 🙄
I don’t know what you mean, please expound.
