but I can actually use this one so in that respect it’s actually better. Here it is:

The Boker Annual Damascus Knife for 2016, based on their Boy Scout 5.25″ pocket knife. Nickel-silver bolsters, African Blackwood scales, stainless-steel lock, and a blade that isn’t just Damascus, it’s stainless Damascus, forged by Chad Nichols. So I can actually carry it in my pocket without it rusting. I knew all those years I didn’t buy a Damascus knife would pay off eventually.

This knife is perfect for FDC — Fancy Dress Carry. It might even be good for EDC, though I’ll probably continue to carry my normal Boy Scout knife with C-Tek scales most days:

To be honest, I don’t even miss the spring-assist mechanism from my Kershaw Chive most of the time.

And yes, in proper EDC tradition, I bought two…of each.
