I agree, Mac, that's sharp. The website says $90 to $115

I carried pocket knives around throughout my childhood but for some reason stopped around high school/college. Decided I needed a compact edc to start carrying again and ran across the Boker Plus Subcom F - so far I love it! It's hefty for it's small size, but overall I barely notice it in my pocket.

No pic but a Benchade Pika II. Razor sharp, holds its edge and very affordable.

I think I paid $115 for mine. It is cheap for a custom and it is well made, it's a piece of American Hand Made pride!

The guys based in Michigan, same as myself. Good enough of a reason to support him. I really like his work. How's it feel in your pocket? YouTube videos I've seen are meh.

Did you just get yours? How long of a wait did you have? I've seen on other forums people are waiting something like 4-6 months.

Yes I waited about 5 moths or so. It is slim in the pocket. Doesn't have any clip though. It is not a large knife by any means, and I wouldn't abuse it since they do not have any steel liners. They are constructed of pins and micarta only. If you want something stronger I would go with one of his fixed blades, they are beautiful as well.

These friction folders are not work horses they are classy gent pocket blades, this one happens to be a cap lifter too.

Thanks again for the "intel" Shane. Just ordered mine.

Interesting. I figured it wouldn't be a "workhorse" but that's alright. This could be a really awesome gift to myself for graduating Boot camp. It'd probably be finished when I'm there. Hm. I"ll have to see if he can engrave.

I had him engrave my initials on the blade. He does it by hand, it isn't pretty like a machine but I can appreciate it more that way.

Went with the brown (like Shane's) and asked him to intial "MAC" into the blade as well. Also shot him a question, as there is a blue wood one on his gallery that I love...we'll see.

I am sure he will be able to take care of you, he can do almost anything.
I may be submitting a completley custom design for him to make eventually.
