Boker Skeleton Handle Knife - Straight Blade

This is a neat little knife that fits well in smaller hands. The handle is designed well for being minimalist. It should be a good knife for a wet environment. The sheath is simple with no way to attach it to something except using cord through the holes around it. The knife is held in the sheath by friction, which isn't quite enough to not worry about it if you are planning on it being jarred around. It's still a great little back up knife that can fit in your pocket, or throw it in a survival kit.

Good size for getting inside and cutting the diaphram and connective tissue. Easy to clean.

Because of skeleton construction, not the most comfortable to use, but meant for second-knife use; can easily attach a lanyard, wear around neck or in boot. Extremely solid construction, excellent steel.

Great little knife that straps where you need it and can easily get to it. No "Rambo" knife, it is small and very stout. Interesting geometry that makes the blade unyielding. Takes an edge nicely. I added some 550 cord wrapping to the handle to make it a bit more comfortable. I bought a second one as a gift to my brother.[...]

Boker quality and Sierra Trading Post value in a handy blade. Around the neck carry provides easy access without taking up pocket space or wearing a shealth on your belt.

This looks like it will be a great skinning knife. I can't wait to try it on my next whitetail. Very sturdy, very sharp, excellent design.

The first thing that really impressed me was the heft of this little knife. What it lacks in length it makes up for in thickness. Very rigid and will be great for a variety of tasks such as prying or pounding that you might shy away from using another knife. The grind on the blade was a little uneven but this was quickly remedied with but a little work using a coarse stone. Since it is manufactured from stainless, sharpening takes a little work. While the handle may appear stubby, it actually feels quite comfortable in my large hands. The knife itself is made in the USA. All around excellent quality.

Beautiful Knife. Great size.

Sharp, holds edge, compact, and if you like the compact grip, a great utility hiking knife. Another 1/2" of handle would have been great for this meat-handed male.

The proportions on this thing look all wrong but work great. The short wide blade is tough and stiff, great for prying and scraping in addition to cutting. The design is simple and has zero parts, so I like it as a survival type knife. It would be excellent for say, lashing to a long stick to make a spear. I wrapped the handle in cord to make it more comfy and to have a nice lanyard. I can't seem to get a true shaving edge on it, but I can't tell if that is the steel or my technique. Regardless it gets sharp enough. And as mentioned by another reviewer the scary factor is low, it does not look like some freaky big fixed blade knife.
