Quick attaboy to BladeHQ. I ordered a Boker Nano on Wednesday. It arrived today. Great shipping.
A couple quick observations. The knife is small. The handle is uncomfortable for traditional use. You can try to grip it with the index finger, but your pinky is empty. If you choke up and leave your index off the handle you have to pinch the blade.
Here are a couple grip shots.
Here are some, more comfortable, though likely atypical grips.
And oh look. Is it that fucking hard to put a lefty clip option on a frame lock? Apparently not. Good job Boker, fuck you Strider.
Last item. If anyone gets 236 in orange, I'll trade you and pay shipping.

Lefties have to adapt. A tip down carry option reverses the position of the blade in a left pocket. So it's tip down and the blade is against the back of the pocket. If you try to pocket a right tip up in a left pocket, you're asking for it.
It's something, and I'm glad they did it.
I do everything with my left hand except writing and by extension, carving. I think in early school I was a lefty and everyone else was writing right handed so I adapted. I throw, bat, shoot left handed.

Who wants to sell some knives on EDCF for me? Haha I need to guy some more stuff.
Would you let me accept "lowball" offers from some of the "financially challenged" people there? I know everyone is always out for a good deal, but some of the offers are downright insulting.
