Looks like the liner lock from a Walmart Winchester X-MAS gift box set. Blade shape is top notch and the Coco. handle scales nice quaility.

If I had seen this beauty, I might just have bought this instead. :) I must say, that CKT knife really looks lovely, with the same sweeping blade design as the Boker.

Its a very beautiful and satisfying design. I guess after being spoiled with superior knives, its hard for me... especially after handling and owning the Cutters Knife and Tool Brend, which I reviewed here: http://customtacticals.com/2009/11/14/cutters-knife-tool-brend-folding-knife/ I’m glad you enjoy your knife..

I just liked it the moment I saw the knife. On close examination, yes, all you guys have said above ARE TRUE. The fitting of the wooden furniture to the frame is not great. And the titanium bits look dull and uninspiring. (Can I polish them?) But, guys, it is a very light knife. I hardly feel it in my pocket. And it is one of the fastest opening folder I've ever tried this side of a switch blade. I mean it's FAST. Just push the button a bit and the slightest movement of the wrist would unfold the blade, allowing it to lock into position with a very satisfying click. And there's absolutely no wobble or rattle or anything as far as I'm concern. The blade locks rigidly into position, and I've no stability issue at all when I wield the knife. As far as I'm concerned, this is a good knife, warts and all. Finding out that it is a discon'ed knife just adds to my satisfaction for having found a good piece of kit for a reasonable price. :) Hi, I bought a Boker Brend without knowing much about either the brand, the designer or the knife.

I bought mine new back in 1999 at Knifecenter. It looked perfect in the pictures, but when I got it was immediately clear that it was lacking in the details. Gaps between the wood and metal bolster. The finish of the "titanium" seemed cheap, and my medallion was not level. Worst of all I could never get the blade to lock up tight. The liner was too thin. Not as bad as cheap Smith and Wesson knives, but certainly not what I expected for that price point. I've had 2 Benchmade strykers since then, one in 154CM and on in D2 ( I lost the first one :() They cost about the same and quality is far better. Boker has other designs that I still love to look at it, but I won't buy another one online. Dito, I too lusted after one of these for almost a year. I bought mine new back in 1999 at Knifecenter.

Boker can be hit or miss although I've seen some very nice ones. It's hard to argue with the fact that cocobolo is a beautiful wood though...
