The Boos Blades Aero Pocketknife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review 

Michiel Vanhoudt Agreed. Price is Definately steep

Yep. They've done some nice work in the past, including the Ti-Lock clip, but this was a rude awakening.

+Rael Jones Why? Have you seen Frankie and Bird? If so, where? And did you get a license plate? 😂

Haha, I'll let you know if I see anything. I have a "slight" feeling they may be in hiding.

Just a tip, if things get messy I'd suggest bringing a high speed low drag opinel or maybe the z hunter. Always remember that only the best knives will work those tactical recovery missions.

Frank Heinrich I hate the aesthetics of Spydercos. I'm glad the Patriot is an alternative.

I generally avoid reviewing "homage" knives like this or most of Ganzo's work, because it's pretty lazy, but this might yet happen.

Nick Shabazz glad to hear it. it's very similar to the delica but just different enough to pay attention to and buy

The Endura is closer, but it's right on the edge. If anything, it's like the Sanrenmu 7010: OK, OK, they're legally different. But you know Boker had a sack of Enduras and Delicas around the design office for the week that one was in process.

I don't see enough similarity to call this an homage. Entirely different blade shape, substantially different handle shape. It does have some commonalities with the Delica (e.g., hand material and texturing) and it lives in the same ecological niche, but to me it really looks to be its own knife. Unless, of course, it's patterned after some knife other than the Delica. In short, I'd like to see Dr. Nick do a head-to-head with these two knives.

Flight of the Navigator

If there were, he'd mention it. Decent knives don't typically have any play

Absolutely! The tyranny of the must-be-huge contingent in the knife community is saddening indeed!

Nick Shabazz could be use as topic for your weekly rant

Ibnu: Absolutely already on the list. That's gonna be a firey one.

All I want is choice! The majority of small knives are also "budget" knives. I'd love to see more 3" Showpieces.

A better word than tyranny is demand :-)
