Boker SubCom Wharcom Knife Review
The Boker SubCom series is a high-quality series from designer Chad Los Banos.
Although small, this particular model displays many desirable features which would make it a great Every Day Carry knife:
1 7/8" (4.76 cm) Aus-8 Stainless Steel Blade
Wharncliffe style blade is excellent for razor-blade style cuts and is quick/easy to sharpen
Finely textured fiber reinforced nylon handle on one side with smooth stainless steel opposite side
Excellent jimping along the spine of the blade for controlled, pressure cuts
Frame-Lock design for easy opening/closing
Deep choil behind the blade allows hand to lock in tight around handle and prevents the hand from EVER being cut while using this knife
MSRP $39.95 but available for around $25-30 online
However there are a few small details that keep this from being the perfect carry knife:
Pocket clip is too tight and needs to be removed and adjusted before use
Aggressive jimping along bottom handle is superflous and will wear on pocket
At 2.5 ounces (70.87 grams) this knife is a bit heavy for it's size and is comparable in weight to larger knives with more cutting ability
Despite the above shortcomings, the Boker SubCom is an excellent knife capable of constant, heavy duty use. When considering the ingenuity of the design, you would be hard pressed to find a safer knife to use in the field.
