I actually just ordered the Böker Nano thanks to the pics of the Curtiss that were posted here :). I doubt it will live up to the quality of the Dragonfly which really is an amazing knife, but then again it's half the price..
Opened the box, tried to open the blade one handed, didn't work (fixable by loosening the screws though, probably). Got it open using two hands, decent lockback, no blade play. But the finishing on the steel part of the handle - oh my god. Looks like a pack of steel-crunching rats had a go at it. Sooooooooo bad. If it costed 10 or 15 € I'd get it but no way in hell will I accept it on a 50 € knife. Already on it's way back. I think that put me off Böker for life.
You can't say I didn't try to change your mind… I'll just say it one more time: FUCK BOKER.
End transmission.

My modest collection:
Spyderco Sage III, Sandstorm custom folder (Carbon fiber! woo), & Swiss Army knife I've had since I was nine. Not pictured is a Kershaw scallion that lives in the coin pocket, and a Swisstool Spirit in a belt pouch.
…I'll freely admit the colour was a major deciding factor for this one.

I really, really wish I hadn't seen this post…..
Haha do it!!! It's completely worth the price. I just contacted Cuscadi about getting their orange back spacer. Let's hope I'll be able to get it.
Seems like most Spyderco collectors feel the Taiwanese made knives are the best in fit and finish. Want to see what all the fuss is about.
They're amazing. The Techno is my first and it won't be my last. I think their F&F is the best out of all the production places.
I'm thinking about putting some paracord on my Techno to give it a nice accent. What would you guys recommend? Also, let's talk about lube
What do you guys use to keep your pivot nice and smooth? -
Just ordered a couple of higonokami folding knives. Fell in love with the design

Seul, Heinnie might take the second one back, if that's where it's coming from.

PM'ed Rafa.
I've used mine all day at work (buyer would get the NIB incoming one of course!!!)… My hands are a couple of millimeters too small (curse my delicate female hands!), but it works nonetheless... AWESOME knife, both in looks and performance... That grip is magnificent, the curve of the knife, and holy cow does it come with a razorsharp edge...
I think I'll be picking up some more Spydercos in the (near) future... This is one of the best entry-level folders out there imo, both in price, size, and quality-wise... Made in Japan to boot!..

I'm all about the Spyderco Squeak. Good handle size, small blade, UK legal carry…

I seriously think, this will take over the Caly 3 I've been carrying for months as my new EDC. I can't wait to carry this little beast!!!
I have another incoming so if anyone wants to buy this one… I am adding the custom fee so preferably someone from €urope, as they cost less than what I'm asking the States...
