Why they keep putting cock screw on everything?
Check out Nr. 5!
I said cock screw! ::)

Thank god not ring!

And 50ft, I still do wait for a moment to either take mine apart (if it is possible) or to take it with me for a while. I just find the knife (5 Layer) too big for pocket carry and want to have a big plier when at work.

Just for reference, BladeHQ has also made a video introducing various models:

Thanks!

BladeHQ does have the Tech Tool 5 and Outdoor 5 with the phillips listed as coming soon, so I was able to subscribe to email notification of when they are in  :tu:

Can one of you guys that have one of these try to cut a clothing tag with the scissors and report back. This is my test for good scissors...most MTs fail. Thanks!

I just received my Outdoor 4 and there are some things I really like about it, and a few things that are kind of meh, and one thing that I dislike.

Likes: Handle scales-- feel and grip are significant improvements over cellidor and alox. Screw construction. Belt clip. Overall shape with a bit of a swell towards the butt-- ergonomically, an improvement over Vic 91s.

The mehs: Build quality a bit below Victorinox, especially apparent with the scissors. Did not pass the clothing tag test, repeatedly failing. Also both the pliers and scissors have torsion bars that ride the backspring, so there is noticeable movement of both implements during use. Adequate but not exceptional edge on the main blade. A tad heavy but seems pretty burly compared to Vic 91s.

The weird dislike: The serrated blade. It has a medium-small screwdriver flat blade at the tip and is VERY stout for its length. But it opens to about a 45 degree angle to the knife, making use of the screwdriver tip very iffy, scarily so considering if the driver slips, you're raking a serrated blade across whatever you were driving. The angle makes sense given a primary use of the blade as a cord or strap cutter, but I'm not even going to attempt using it as a screwdriver.

Overall verdict: I like it. Design-wise, I give it an B+, losing just a smidge because of the serrated blade tip choice. Comfort and feel in had are standout areas. A few little tweaks to the scissors and pliers would be nice as well. I think it will see some rotation time on days I'd otherwise have an Explorer or D. Tinker.

That screwdriver tip fits a Phillips screw beautifully, but like you I feel it's too hazardous to use in that capacity.  A frustrating design flaw.

Carrying mine in the Off-Brand Challenge

So far the scissors are very disappointing. Anyone else with one have the same experience or did I just get a dud?
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

I found mine to be OK, they will cut paracord without any difficulty.  Not a patch on Victorinox scissors of course, but at least as good as Leatherman Juice scissors.  And way better than the set of SOG scissors that I have.

I found now that they work better on hard/stiff material.
No problem cutting cable ties or clamshell packaging (will post pictures later tonight in my OBC-thread)

Damning them with faint praise then?
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

That wasn't my intention :)  I think they're quite acceptable.  Not the best, but only one can be the best!

So having come back to this thread after some time I’ve realised my love for the Boker has gone. It sits in the bowl with my other EDC gear and I tend not to pick it up too much. Thinking about it, my Victorinox tools are being picked up and used as ever, but not the Boker. It’s OK, it does some things well (nice big blade, good clip), but there are other features that is doesn’t (see others comments above!).

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very well made tool, just needs a bit more design to get it spot on right in every way. Considering it’s the MK1 version I think they did well. I really hope that Boker continue and make more tools, and develop the range over time.
Maybe we are spoilt by the likes of Victorinox who have been amking tools for some time now, Boker just have a bit of catching up to do.

I agree on all accounts, except the MK1 part...

Sadly, with Boker pushing so many versions, I presume that Boker is done with designing and moved on to reaping. I'm also hoping to be wrong about this.

Interesting, my opinion of my Outdoor 4 is the opposite-- a better design than Victorinox, let down by indifferent execution. I'd love to see Victorinox license the design and put it together.

Yup. Guilty as charged with dragging up a nigh on 2 year old thread by the hair...

Walked by a well known cutlery chain store in the city I work in, yesterday at lunchtime, and saw these (green for Outdoor) were for sale at less than half of (indicated) MSRP, and decided to go for the largest model (no. 4, I believe) out of curiosity.

Not too shabby at all (especially for the price). Nice wide main blade, pocket clip and scales, as well as tool snap and build quality which generally are nice - lots of space between the tools though, seems they wanted to include liners between all the separate tools and these, combined with the wide tool tangs make for relatively inefficient use of space compared to Vic.

I haven't read through all the posts above, but none of those I did read mentioned a glass breaker pin at the end opposite the main blade pivot. Might be a recent(ish) addition. If anyone is interested I can post a pic.
Cheers!
