The (Full size model) is my third favorite production knife of 2009 and I am sure you will agree that it firmly deserves its place, if it had a hole perhaps it would have gone even higher!
The fit and finish on this model is truly fantastic and rivals the custom base of this knife which is the designed by Mike Skellern.
The Boker Exskelibur 1 features the same sleek style as the original, infact the only difference in terms of materials as far as we know is the blade steel which is 440C instead of the N690 in the original custom model.
I view the Exskelibur as a near perfect large dress knife featuring a no nonsense utility blade that while plain in build manages to be perceived as elegant and refined.
The titanium walker liner lock provides you with a solid lock that can withstand all the abuse you could throw at it in the normal course of the role it is designed for, coupled with those sleek G-10 scales & the discreet red lining in between the scales and you have a winner in terms of style and utility.
A truly great balance has been struck.
See you tomorrow for knife number 4!
A+
