Finally A Tough Pocket Knife You Can EDC Everywhere!

[@edwardk1545]

I have a slip joint from Italy, made in a small town by a hundreds year old knife family. It is insane.

[@davidkelly414]

Nice folder . However, the Lansky World Legal , Willumsen design , European made , also has a very strong spring slip joint . Thank you. 😊

[@Firebrand1967]

True that, but they've been discontinued for a bit now; I have several and they've great folders

[@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc]

The spring tension from a Manly Wasp is not far off from the Boker. It’s pretty stiff. And you can spine whack it a couple of times without it closing

[@eDiZzON]

Manly city owner here. great folder.

[@TheScotchaholic]

Any company that names itself Manly, deserves patronage. The S90V Peak lockback is such a winner in my book, that I bought 3 of them in different handle colors. Excellent lockbacks for the money!

[@franck-florian1776]

Thanks to give us the value in the metric system 👍

[@gideonstactical]

You bet!

[@agent7796]

Cheer for the review, another knife I can add to my UK Legal collection, 😎👍👍

[@randyscj429]

Hello G., The ease of folding is one reason why I don't like non locking folders. Hey, you know what Murphy's Law is right? Well I've dealt with that all my life, so much so that I know if Murphy hadn't gotten there first I know that they'd have called it "Randy's Law" by now... Just say'n. Be safe and take care, " God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊

[@kylethedalek]

All modern slip joints should have choils, and more ways to stop the blade closing. Back spring and ball detents. Guards, tangs (like a friction folder.) A combination of these would be amazing. Stops at each quarter. There are ones out there that are one handed opening but two handed closing, just because the tension created when opened makes it two handed to close. But make one and two handed openers for options. And maybe even versions with weak openings, or make the tension adjustable. Deep carry clips (ambi.) definitely for crappy countries to make it as discreet as possible. And make the clips none reflective/ dark too. And maybe the scales darker to blend into peoples pockets. I think the PITS has the best system. This Boker is good, just I would modify it by grinding a choil in to its blade, and add a thumbstud. The Sog Terminus is pretty good too, it had ball detents to keep it open (and it’s strong.) Would be cool to see a version with detents and a back spring.

[@velvetine74]

I was going to leave a comment saying something similar re choils and qtr stops. Really good comment you made, could save someone's finger!

[@barrybueler3356]

I have a few old school style slip joints from case etc but I’ve never been a huge fan of a folder without a locking mechanism. I’m happy to say switchblades are legal in Massachusetts now 😊. I can edc the other half of my collection now yeah 👏🏻.

[@GaryWiens-c8o]

How does the spyderco UK pen knife compare? This seems like another decent option for a knife for traveling in the UK.

[@gideonstactical]

Yeah, never used it, so I can’t speak to its strength of lockup but very slice

[@thorin693]

I have the uk pen knife in magnacut, easy to open and close, but if you keep a finger on the choil if it breaks the detent your finger will stop it.

[@PMCKnivesAndTools]

Okay fine, I've ordered one from Heinnie Haynes. Are you happy now?! When will i stop buying more and more knives?!!!

[@marcinos303]

You must try Bulgarian Manly Comrade slipjoint or old English "Churchill"

[@rabadabadoo491]

Thanks for the review. I might check this out. I usually carry a SAK or Spyderco. Cheers 🍻

[@gideonstactical]

No problem 👍

[@valentinhauser4031]

Go check a douk douk knife, very strong slip joint

[@VaqueroCervantez]

They should have kept the "tool and tool holder" hole and slot that the first version had

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I'm liking the grey Civivi fracture.

[@sda4jesus1]

That's gotta be required carry wherever locking blades are illegal. I would think the clip would ride deeper for more discreet carry in places that check for compliance when noticed.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Our knife laws here in uk ard not thought out properly. They are always a political knee jerk reaction that does not get to the root of the problem.

[@bigzach322]

I'd like to see what you think of the Spyderco UK Penknife and Lil Native Slipit. Not sure if you've reviewed those before.

[@gideonstactical]

I have not I will check them out

[@bigzach322]

@gideonstactical They both come with excellent steel choices, which puts them ahead of many other slipjoints. The unique thing about the Lil Native is that it is just under 2.5 inches, so it is legal almost everywhere. Including many federal facilities like the one I work in.

[@cecilm3720]

Nice review. I like slip joints (though not for legal requirements). Watching the video did make me feel a bit seasick. ;)

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Aaron, to be honest I didnt know locking was a legal bone of contention in some parts, I thought it was always blade length and auto/assisted. Regardless, I like the design for a little fella and 440C is underrated IMO. Perhaps one that Victorinox could consider as an inexpensive upgrade. Cheers Duke.

[@chroniques.coutelieres76]

Just try a Douk Douk and you’ll find a more difficult to close slipjoint knife ! 😅 thanks for your videos

[@steely_mike]

It’s a good looking knife and seems to be about as safe as a slip joint can be

[@gideonstactical]

I am with you there!

[@sturgis97]

Question, are you still using the adamas or are you using a cold steel for camping?

[@gideonstactical]

I have both, but did not take a pocket knife this past time and did a pocket fixed blade.

[@angelguidesabbath]

My boker slip joint with choil is one of the best. But the steel could be better

[@dragonram7]

Aaron, what watch do you wear on the trail? Looks like a Garmin?

[@gideonstactical]

amzn.to/4cOz0fk that is correct the Garmin Instinct it rocks

[@fwrose6272]

Cool Like my Kershaw Federalist 🇺🇸 This seems beefier and a pocket clip 👍

[@erfanahmadzade2283]

Hey Aaron hope you're doing great I have a request Can you review anzu by fox knives I'd really appreciate it if you did

[@gideonstactical]

Hey, thanks for the shout out and request. I will take a look and see what I can do.

[@erfanahmadzade2283]

Thanks man

[@dennispoley6005]

A slipjoint that's stronger than the lock on the Adamas.

[@gideonstactical]

Haha 😆

[@acid6urns]

elaborate?

[@CDXRK]

​​@@acid6urnssatire,may be wrong tho

[@The4cp]

This looks really good. Boker has a hit.

[@misolgit69]

yes the Lansky orld Legal is a beast

[@gud2go50]

Vavavoom, I always knew that under that droopy T-shirt, you looked like your thumbnail!😂😂😂

[@gideonstactical]

Yes!!!!!!

[@Woodzy-5326]

[@gideonstactical]

[@timothy146237]

Love that thumbnail 😂

[@gideonstactical]

Hahha! I am glad 😃

[@GaryWiens-c8o]

I would've liked to see 14C28N or nitro-v instead of 440C.

[@gideonstactical]

Definitely but not a bag second choice

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Doesn't matter what steel it is. Boker always bottom of the barrel heat treatment

[@darrenkeller9251]

World wide.... except in 2 inch maximum blade length Chicago....

[@notfixingit]

Almost checked out on Amazon until I heard 440c

[@soundknight]

I'd buy it if was bigger / longer.

[@Jasny311]

Zajebisty nożyk.Jak Boker wypuscił taki ,to i zaraz Ruike zrobi taki sam.

[@Swearengen1980]

You going to check out the Ka-Bar Limited Edition BK76 magnacut? As for the Boker, for those who don't know, they may also want to consider that 440C isn't nearly as easy to sharpen for even moderately skilled people.

[@jayr526]

My AD-10 wins everytime .

[@gideonstactical]

Haha! Definitely

[@TheScotchaholic]

Any Tri-ad folder wins, every time.

[@Khrenan]

Advertizing a Slipjoint for stabbing gives me a bit of a legality-headache but its good that its functional. You know they are legal where they are because the lawmakers assume you cant stab with them.

[@Rakx10]

If you need gloves to test a knife, there's an issue.

[@scrick7112]

Come on man, just get a fixie.

[@mek8157]

illegal to carry in South korea and even can't buy it without license 😂

[@gideonstactical]

Wow! That sucks

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

Boker xs is the best and safest slip joint. Period..

[@kylethedalek]

Not overly? The originals had the strongest springs. But the issues with them now is weaker springs and updates on laws and definitions. The XS blade is larger than 3”. Meaning you can’t carry it now in some places.

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

@@kylethedalek it has nothing to do with the springs, it's the best and safest because it has a generous finger choil that prevents the knife from closing during use. Boker xs or the rose craft clinch river for the win. 💪

[@kylethedalek]

@@genuinelyconcerned3504 Well the spring stops the choil crushing your finger? So it kind of does. I would rather the spring takes as much pressure as possible before my finger does. But I agree I think choils are very important if I got that knife I would grind a choil in the blade.

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

@@kylethedalek agreed. I really think a choil is a must on any slip joint intended for actual work or hard use.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

We say it over and over. Dont buy boker .. Ever

[@tonimacaroni5305]

Why

[@ExhumedTornado]

Who is we? Everyone can buy what ever they want to buy. Cheap knifes from china or handmade custom knifes. Everyone has different requirements for a knife. If you dont like Böker, dont buy it. So simple. Sure, Böker has some quality problems in there knife lineup but that doesn't mean everything they made is trash. You can buy a Benchmade knife for way more money and get the same quality issues. What does that tell you?

[@Rakx10]

​@@ExhumedTornado Then buy sh* and be a pigeon. Everyone can k themselves too. However there are people that will tell you it's not the solution. It helps. That's called an advice you know 🙂

Disagree, this is a good length for 1 item, and you have to take into account the sponsored segment. Some people will do 20+ min for 1 item. Others will do annoying and uninformative 1 min clips for Instagram or TikTok.
