Boker Albatros initial review

[godse7en]

Did you get another one of these ? or just refunded.

[asilaydying1984]

@godse7en refund, not a fan of how boker cuts these blade tangs

[Hopefaithguns]

Jens should be making these knives with Spyderco!!! Every vid I've watched on the Albatros has had horrible lock up!! Spyderco would never let this happen. If I were Jens I'd be pissed cuz it makes his knives lock bad! I know he makes awesome blades but I'm not going to buy a knife from boker unless I can hold it and inspect it first 2 make sure the knife has no issues! I think this is totally unacceptable!! Boker isn't the only company either, I won't buy a strider unless I can hold it and in

[asilaydying1984]

@Hopefaithgun I agree completely, and I would by a strider sj 75 no problem or a custom but probably not production one unless I got a good deal

[mwhich50]

that blade play would really piss me off, this is not a cheap knife

[asilaydying1984]

@mwhich50 true, it started bugging me so im sending it back tomorrow

[mwhich50]

@asilaydying1984 Good, don't accept poor quality control from these companies.

European cars come in dead last for reliabilty as well.

[asilaydying1984]

@mwhich50 true Koreans are actually stepping it up with the huyndais and kias

[shaokem]

You might want to send yours back... I've looked at the other vids posted and seems theirs are a bit different than yours and do not have lock rock.

[shaokem]

@shaokem a bit different in regards to the blade tang grind.

[asilaydying1984]

@shaokem yep idk ehy they did it that way

[asilaydying1984]

@shaokem I am almost sure theirs will develop it but I guess only time will tell

[JasonSleiman4thewin]

@asilaydying1984

I saw that you are selling your albatros on blade forums and would like to buy it if it is still available. Email me at patrik_m_m@hotmail.com

[asilaydying1984]

@JasonSleiman4thewin Im sending it back to bladehq today, but thanks for the offer

[ibesteadymobbin92]

My Emerson has bad lock rock, but the blades not gonna fail. I'm still sending it in though because they'll replace my whole liner lock for free. That's strange though, how it has it right away

[asilaydying1984]

@ibesteadymobbin92 damn chinese lol they need to look over my knife before sending it to me j/k

[ibesteadymobbin92]

@asilaydying1984 Then again, the techno is 2x as much

[asilaydying1984]

@ibesteadymobbin92 thats a true story!

[SurviveToLife]

Good review. I think that blade play would make me a little nervous...

[asilaydying1984]

@SurviveToLife seems like it wont disengage but who knows, thank you for watching

[FoldingKnifeFanatic]

sweet ...looks like a great deal for $100...love a big heavy duty blade

[asilaydying1984]

@FoldingKnifeFanatic it really is, some issues but still worth it id say

[Alexanderedietz]

sounds good

[asilaydying1984]

@Alexanderedietz its posted

[Alexanderedietz]

ill keep you up to date on mine i dont think my blade tang looks like yours though.

[asilaydying1984]

@Alexanderedietz wierd I am posting another video showing the sound a little better

[BladeReviewscom]

Hey man, sorry to hear the F&F is not what you expected. A real shame given how nice the design is.

[asilaydying1984]

@BladeReviewscom Its not terrible, kind of what I expected before I got it from the boker plus line, and for only 100 bucks for these materials I am sure they couldn't spend to much money on Qc lol, anyways thanks for watching man

[BladeReviewscom]

@asilaydying1984 lol, true - $100 is a nice price. Can't have it all I guess.

[asilaydying1984]

@BladeReviewscom yea I wsih they would just produce them in their germany factories

[pyaoliang]

This is a cool looking knife, but man... strike two on Boker Plus. First the Epicenter with all it's issues... not lock rock on this one? Seems like their framelocks have flown under the quality control radar. Unacceptable. Both of those blades seemed to show a lot of promise. They need to get it right.

[asilaydying1984]

@pyaoliang yea imo they are a few steps below the competition in quality but charge about the same prices, I do like a lot of there knives I just wish they were better at making them lol

[tuffthumbz]

i got 0430 i win!

[asilaydying1984]

@tuffthumbz lol thats cool man

[oromoto]

I got it too! Can't wait to check it out.

[asilaydying1984]

@oromoto let me know how yours is

[drumrboy80]

I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger..that would just bug the heck out of me. It shouldn't be that much longer for the techno to be released.

[asilaydying1984]

@drumrboy80 yea I am sure the techno will blow it out of the water, spyderco just does it right

[sgtbeefy1]

Great review buddy. Thanks man

[asilaydying1984]

@sgtbeefy1 thanks for watching buddy!

[p8ntballer8491]

I'm really surprised that you have up and down play. Mine is rock solid. After i made my video I tightened up the pivot screw and that fixed the side to side play and blade centering.

[asilaydying1984]

@p8ntballer8491 can you hear it in the vid? if not ill post another vid so people can here

[p8ntballer8491]

@asilaydying1984 Hear the lock rock? yea I can hear it fine.
