Boker plus Teck tools
on: July 11, 2015, 09:22:10 PM
Did a quick search on here, couldn't find anything.

Not been on the forum much, lost my multitool mojo a bit. But these look nice

http://www.boker.de/en/taschenmesser/boeker-plus/tech-tools.html

Any thoughts?

Cheers for that mate and good to see you around. :cheers:  I've got a lot of time for the Boker Plus knives, though these are perhaps just a little too pricy for me to casually buy.  Good to see that they're non-locking IMO.

Thanks Gareth. Agreed these are not cheap, but what cost quality?
Is it wrong of me to look at these and be thinking how easy they may come apart for modding?

Would be nice to know whether the blade has any play and stuff like that as well. Thanks for taking one for the team. ;)

I like the looks of the 3 layer ones :tu: €50 direct from Boker might mean lower prices from dealers, plus as a servicable G10 scaled knife, I don't think it's bad value actually. I've had good quality on a couple of other Boker Plus knives, so I'm quite optimistic. A shame the serrated blade isn't an inline Phillips though

I can imagine that the small driver on the serrated blade works like the Phillips on the Vic can opener. I hope the knife is bolted together and not riveted under screwed on scales.
And I do like the idea of the small serrated blade, would make a nice utility blade for day to day chores in my job.

You might be right about the Phillips, Thomas. The screws seem to be in the right place for the pivots.

Looks like the reversible pocket clip is deep carry too  :tu:

It seems that some of those tools are AWFULLY close copies of Victorinox ones. Bottle opener looks identical. Saw & scissors too.

Not sure how I can respect Boker too much here, especially for the hefty price.

Read this whilst you wait - http://www.heinnie.com/blog/boker-tech-tools-review/
I don't trust a review where they spend more words discussing the pocket clip than all the other tools combined :twak:

Also, with a review I expect pictures of tool details discussed not the stock pictures. I doubt that the guy who has written the review even cut a banana with it, its a Marketing piece.

Still want one.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.
