Snapped up the Boker a while back. I wanted a modern version of the Case Sodbuster and this fit the bill. Really impressed with the fit and finish, except for the stupid glass breaker on the butt. Thankfully, I am resourceful and took a hacksaw to that nonsense and got rid of it. Also worthy of discussion is the awesome (and sporadically practical) True Utility Dawg. What will they think of ...
