Thanks!

Thank you for watching and have a great day.

Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure that D2 is a semi-stainless so I would be surprised if it would not rust that 50% you observed is probably because of the different surface finish if all would have let's say a bead-blasted finish untreated with any anti-corrosion inhibitor than all 100% of them would get rust in a few days in the pocket mainly due to the humidity and temperature exchange. The 440 series is stainless but it has also some serious corrosion problems just a few weeks ago I tested a 440C blade that I have carried for a couple of days in my back pocket and I got some rust spots just from carrying it not even using the knife. I use Aegis Solutions EDCi on my blades because I got rust even on my S30V strider. Have a great day.

@@nerv5th Luckily i had never problems with 440x, but you never know ... 😅

Yes, you make a good point it is a strange decision to go with 440A and 440B I got the bluejay and I understand that one is even cheaper and you will see the difference I will post the video tomorrow. This two and two more knives round-up with the Toxicofera the new series of budget offerings with different micarta from Boker magnum.

D2 is more expensive but my best guess would be that they have to pay royalties to Lukas Burnley also it it a larger knife.

Interesting point Ganzo never bothered with using patented technologies in the past also it would be half the price.

I don't see why not. I just don't recommend it the axis lock can be a pain to put back together.

It is made in China so that it is affordable if you don't like it then just look at the Boker manufacturer Solingen product line this is from the Magnum line and they are all made in China sub 50-60$ There is also the Boker Plus line made in china and Taiwan do cost from 75-150$ and they have also the Boker Arbolito those knives are made in Buenos Aires mostly fixed blades so no Sad time but good times you can pick and chose from a wide range of manufactures and designs.

@@nerv5th is there any large historic German knife manufacturers left?

@@GMU8 yes Boker if one of them there is also www.otter-messer.de/en/ www.guede-solingen.de/en/messerserien/ klever-solingen.com/company/about_klever/ www.eickhorn-solingen.de/Eickhorn-Products/-Military-Knifes/Combat-Knives www.wusthof.com/ to name a couple there are much more smaller companies but most of them specialize in tools and kitchen knives not folding knives.

You can still buy Boker knives made in Solingen… but not for $40 like this Boker Magnum.
