Boker BOP586-BRK Plus Subcom Knife

While looking for an EDC knife I came across this littel jem. My father and I collect and always have a pocket knife on us. This one is fantastic. It came out of the box VERY sharp and in great condition. No damage or any issues. The one concern that I had before recieving this knife was how it would feel in my hand concidering the size of the knife. I was very surprised on how comfortable the handle felt in my hand. The jimping spots in the handle and the ones on the blade are in a great location and makes the knife very easy to control. I love the thin design of this knife. While in my pocket (not clipped) I can barely tell that I am carrying a knife at all. I usually keep this knife in the small pocket in my jeans and if fits wonderful. I have no issues opening the blade one handed. If i really had to come up with a single "con" for this knife, I would say that the clip is a little too tight and it can make it difficult to clip onto the the fabric of the pocket. To be honest I believe that it will loosen up over time but I would rather have the clip be too tight then not tight enough and risk the knife falling out of my pocket. I enhoy this knife so much that I feel guilty even trying to find a con for it. If you are looking for a compact, lightweight, and very sharp knife for every day carry, you cant go wrong with this one.

I just bought this again, last time was 2017 and it lasted the whole time with a fine edge. One of best knives I’ve ever had before I lost it. Makes a great money clip so you have knife when needed which is almost every day with me.

Considering everything this knife offers it is decent to good for the price. In fact there was only one thing that really made this a 4 star knife instead of a 5 star and it was almost 3 because of one thing, the plastic bushing.Titanium frame lock, excellent VG-10 blade steel, ultra compact, relatively great ergonomics, and good construction make this truly a fantastic little knife. These strong points further make it somewhat strange and disappointing that Boker chose to use plastic or silicon bushings for this knife. Now maybe I am missing something and there was some design element that required the flexibility of these bushings over better more sturdy options but I just don't have as much faith in these opposed to metal.Now while I have this gripe I think it is still important to understand the use of this knife. It is small and compact and not meant for heavy lifting. This makes for a perfect backup or small edc knife. Considering the uses for this knife will be somewhat lighter than other more heavy duty edc knives, the plastic bushings are probably enough, I guess I just prefer overbuilt to under.Anyways, beyond that I have to say I'm impressed with the knife. The design makes it very thin and compact and the majority of materials are what you would find on a much bigger and more expensive knife. I always like titanium handles on my knives for the strong and corrosion resistant qualities of the metal. I also really like the frame lock and it is simple and when done right is very reliable. Finally VG-10 may not be the latest and greatest anymore but it is still one of the best blade steels available due to its excellent edge retention, ease of maintenance, and corrosion resistance.The handle is actually very ergonomic for such a small knife. Opening and closing is fairly smooth and easy and the grip is good for the light use the blade will see. The shape of the blade is very functional with an excellent belly and full flat grind. It came razor sharp out of the box and will be great at slicing.Overall I really like the knife. It fits nicely in your small jeans pocket and provides an excellent blade for basic cutting. The price I would say is generally decent despite plastic bushings but other than that, as long as you understand what you're getting it is a good knife and easy to recommend.

Great knife, it's my third in 18 years of use at work. I love it because of its descrete look. It just looks like a key chain when closed. It is easy to open with one hand for quick access.

nice keychain knife but would've preferred a locking blade, a hasty order, my fault

Best everyday carry knife I have, and I own dozens of knives. For the size the wide grip makes it very comfortable to hold. It is super sharp! Especially the serrated edge so it is a useful tool. It might not fit everyone's needs though. I like it because it is light (so it doesn't pull your pants down). I like it because it is small ( you can fit it in that small pocket on your jeans that no one ever uses, and it is flat so it is easy to conceal) I like it because the wide grip makes it feel natural in your hand. Unlike the small Swiss army knives that have such a small grip you are more likely to hurt yourself with it than use it as a tool. The people who won't like it for EDC are those who think carrying a larger knife for self defense is a good idea. First off you can get in trouble with the law for carrying a knife just for self defense because it classifies your intended use of it as a deadly weapon and not a tool. This knife's size easily implys it is a tool and not a weapon. The sharpness of it could still inflict a deadly wound if you needed to and had the talent and skill to do so. For self defense get a gun or pepper spray.
