Boker Plus Nopal folding knife by Newton Martin

[ZombieOrchestra]

Great little pocket blade! Got one, and it's like a Razor Blade with a comfy little 3 Finger handle. Just a Heads up to my Left-Handed Brutha's and Sista's.....for a leftie, the chisel grind works to your advantage. ; )

[oromoto]

@ZombieOrchestra Glad you got it!

[ZombieOrchestra]

@oromoto Thank Bro, great review. I really enjoy my Nopal. Cheers

[andris4]

Since this blade is so easy to sharpen, will it quickly become dull again?

[oromoto]

@andris4 It depends on the steel and grind geometry. Chisel grind is easy to sharpen because you spend less time sharpening the flat side of the blade. It will dull quicker than convex grind but it is sharper. Your question seems simple but it is complex. You will need to understand the difference in steel composition and blade geometry.

[andris4]

@oromoto Thank you! I have been looking to buy this knife myself, and the chisel grind seems okey :)

[elbowroomtube]

Are you still carrying this Nopal? Do you find the bladeshape useful; effective.

Overall would you recommend for EDC?

[oromoto]

@elbowroomtube I rarely carry knives for EDC purpose (mostly defensive purpose) But I highly recommend it if all you need is small/light knife to do office tasks. This one is very offensiveless.

[elbowroomtube]

@oromoto Thanks oromoto. I appreciate your recommendation and I enjoy your reviews. You cover all of the critical points of knife reviewing with well thought out commentary. Very helpful.

[oromoto]

@elbowroomtube Thank you for watching them :)

[evilsquirrel56231]

I was totally into this little thing until you said it was chisel ground. Why on earth would anyone do that to a nice blade like this?!

[oromoto]

@evilsquirrel56231 Yeah I am not a big fan of chisel grind neither, but think of it this way. It is much easier to sharpen and it is razor sharp.

[leftofcenter13]

I just bought 2. Thanks for featuring them!

[oromoto]

@leftofcenter13 Glad I cloud help.

[spsilvgo]

Just picked one of these up. Thanks again for the review... You should do a comparison vid to the Spyderco Dragonfly. The blade length and even shape are pretty spot on. Obviously different blade steels, grinds, locks, but whatever. I'd actually be curious to see how the Leafstorm compared in size to both of those!!! Sue

[oromoto]

@spsilvgo You'll like this little guy, very EDC friendly.

[Severator]

Wow this one flew under the radar. Nice! I may have to get this one. I dig that thick chiselator!

[oromoto]

@Severator pretty cool little EDC for sure :)

[PavlovSandor]

plus with that knife its a cheap way to try out a chisel ground knife. you dont have to get an emerson and try the chisel.

[oromoto]

@PavlovSandor absolutely!

[PavlovSandor]

oh damn. i just saw this one online and now you have one. cool man. you are always on the cutting edge of knives. you always have the new and best thing out in knives. thanks for sharing your collection. i love the blade shape on this baby. isnt that a crappy law. they have to have a two handed opener. well it has to look that way. most you can still thumb open even with no thumb stud. that blade is thick isnt it? compare this baby to a stainless dragonfly. love your comparison vids.

[oromoto]

@PavlovSandor It will be very very hard to open it with one hand without th thumb stud. Very slippery. Thanks I'll get out some more comparison vids.

[spsilvgo]

Thanks for the review! Had to pick up one of those :) I love "cute" knives. haha

[oromoto]

@spsilvgo Thanks for watching Sue!

[EDCgearreviews]

Cool. I think I will pick one up. I dont like the design, but for 30 bucks it looks to be built quite well. Looks to be a good modification platform.

[oromoto]

@EDCgearreviews It's build really well for $30 bux, not much room for modifications though.

[EDCgearreviews]

@oromoto I dont know man. You could texture the handles, skeletonize the liners and refinish the blade. I find that small knives are easier to refinish.

[oromoto]

@EDCgearreviews LOL, I so want to see it!

[EDCgearreviews]

@oromoto Il send you a pic on the USN in a couple weeks.

[oromoto]

@EDCgearreviews Can't wait for it man!!

[EDCgearreviews]

@oromoto Just ordered it.

[oromoto]

@EDCgearreviews Nice!

[ZeroTechSkilz]

Very kool knive. Thank you for the great review.

[oromoto]

@ZeroTechSkilz Thank you for watching man!! appreciate it :)

[elongatuspiranha]

I want more customs!!! lol  nice little knife.

[oromoto]

@elongatuspiranha LOL...no more money. From now on only budget knives !

[FTWCM]

Kinda reminds me of a Yuna Hard 1.

[oromoto]

@FTWCM I think this is waaaaay smaller.

[bankmind80]

Damn! I like that knife...wish they milled out two holes for the pocket clip on the other side.

[oromoto]

@bankmind80 you don't need the clip at all man!

[bankmind80]

@oromoto

True, I gurss that one is small enough to just drop in the pocket :)

[oromoto]

@bankmind80 yup!

[Snicke22]

+++++

[oromoto]

@Snicke22 Thanks bro :)

[TheLazySpoiledKitty]

Love the shape!!! Very cool little knife :), and you know how much i like those small knives :). Great review bro!

[oromoto]

@TheLazySpoiledKitty Hey thanks! I think you can get it legally in your country.

[darkchild57]

I really like that blade shape. Very utilitarian. I really like Boker knives as well, I think they have very good knives for their price point.

[oromoto]

@darkchild57 Yup! Get one bro, I think it is worth the money. Very collectible too. You don't always have to whip out the SMF for every task :P

[decisiveweb]

Great review.... I love the looks of this knife.

[oromoto]

@decisiveweb Get one before its all gone!

[stang0084]

I like this one:) cool shape overall

[oromoto]

@stang0084 Thanks! very functional too :)

[100eyes]

Boker Plus has really been stepping things up lately, though that knife unfortunately has a left handed chisel grind lol

[oromoto]

@100eyes Is there such thing as left and right hander chisel grind? I didn't know about it. But I have seen many custom right handed Striders with the same side of grind though...

[100eyes]

@oromoto With the tip pointing away from you, if the flat side is on the left it's right-handed.

I believe it comes from Japanese chef knives, where the flat side is leaned against the hand holding the food down and gives it a straight cut, while the bevel on the opposite side causes the sliced food to be pushed aside and fall over.

[oromoto]

@100eyes Ahh... very interesting! I read it some where also. Although I think with the flat side on the right gives you more precision when you are cutting/shaving though because you always see the flat side (for right hander). I am just being picky actually lol :)

[lokiodin]

I'm really starting to like those Boker's

[oromoto]

@lokiodin I love them! they make a lot of inexpensive and high quality knives.

[1AbominAble1]

That's a lot of knife for the money! Kinda neat too.

[oromoto]

@1AbominAble1 I think it is good looking and useful EDC, and at $35 is not expensive at all. At least I think it worth every penny. Thanks!
