My thoughts
Since both of these knives are pretty much identical besides the 3cm difference in length, 2mm blade thickness and the scallops taken out of the g-10 grips in the PryMate, I will simply give my thoughts on both of these models at the same time.
First of all, they are perfect examples of beautiful collusion of form and function.
Really awesome utility knives with great great great looks!
The fit and finish appears to be perfect by Boker & with that red spacer between the scales I just cant help but be attracted to them. I might get the Boker PryMini as a fixed blade EDC but the one thing that does hold me back is the price tag, 180 & 150 euros. Ouch.
With regards to the high cost, one has to factor in both the design elements, premium materials and collectors appeal, this is a Vox design that is in production by a major manufacturer with awesome fit and finish so of course the price IS going to be higher than one would expect, not forgetting that they are made in Europe using European steel- a rare thing now days.
I personally prefer the PryMini due to the smooth scales & the fact that I dont see a use for a 7mm blade in my life.
What about you?
