I really need to stay away from Amazon, I really do. Otherwise I'll keep buying any shiny that I come across, like this:
It's my first Boker; this is the Boker Plus Credit Card knife. What sold me was how thin this knife is:
Yeah, it's that thin...
It's a little stubborn to open one-handed; a little oil should clear that right up. It's the size that's really impressive - closed, this knife is 2.75" by 1 3/8", and with the clip attached is only 8mm thick. It's so small that I inadvertently left it clipped to my jeans and sent it through the washing machine without noticing (the clunking in the dryer gave it away)! With the finger grooves it offers a decent purchase for such a small knife, and it fits anywhere.
The Boker Plus CC knife has been added to the daily rotation.
That is all.

Were you inspired by Breda's post, or is this a case of blogger coincidence?
There may be some serendipity there... :)
Is the clip of a size that allows the knife to be used as a bill clip?
Why yes, yes it is. And thanks for the idea, Robert!
From photos I've seen elsewhere it looks like part of the edge is still exposed when it's closed. Is that going to shave my fingerprints off when I reach into my pocket for it?
And I agree, using it for a money clip is an excellent idea.
Boker makes some very fine knives. I have a Boker AK-74 automatic knife and a new version of their classic Trench Dagger. Both are very good quality. The German made Bokers are a bit spendy but usually very good QC, the taiwanese ones are solid, and chinese can be a bit of a crapshoot.
