Boos Blades?

[HappyDaddy]

I've seen a number of these (the Aero) in the Exchange over the last couple of weeks. I'd not heard of the maker before. I'm curious as to whether anyone is buying and keeping them, and what folks who are keeping them think of the knife.

I don’t own one, but I would love to try the Boos Smoke. They are built for him by WE knives and the quality is apparently quite good.

The Aero Mini was built by WE. The original Aero was built in the U.S. by another company. I do not know who built them though.

I had a mini and it was nice. Smooth, no lock stick, very slight belly, fired fast (albeit quietly) and locked up solidly. It seemed like a quality little knife.

I wear an XL width glove and the peak of the bump on the inside of the handle landed right between my pinky and ring finger, with my pinky resting on the up curved portion. Comfortable, but a bit too small for my preferences.

I didn't touch the edge, so I don't even know how the factory edge was. It looked even, and didn't have any rolls or dings but I didn't even cut paper or arm hair with it... As soon as I saw it was a bit too small, it went back in the case, only to come out once more for pictures.

Corrected about the Smoke, thanks!

The Aero Mini was built by WE, and as far as I know, the only knife that was, so far. The smoke and original Aero was built in the U.S. by another company. I do not know who built them though.

I’m pretty sure WE made the smoke as well

Yeah I checked his site. The smoke is made by WE knives. I had always thought all his knives were

The first full size Aero was produced by Millit Knives in Idaho. The next two knives, the Smoke and Mini Aero were/are being produced by We Knives.

I've never owned a WE knife but something about the Boos appealed to me, I missed out on the first couple so I decided to give the Aero Mini a go. I figured I have other knives with a similar blade size so it should be ok for me (I was thinking Cutjack 3", Delica, Techno, Mini Grip Etc.), but when I opened it, I was still surprised by the size. It is literally a miniature knife, so I felt there are many other similar sized blades that fit me better. High quality knife though, i've flipped it quite a bit but I may end up selling/trading it, once the "fun" of the knife wears out.

I'm probably in the minority but I'd totally buy a Smoke with a 4~4.25 blade.

New model in the works. Leaked screenshot and details. Bye says hidden flipper tab. I caught this screenshot the moment it went live before he updated it.

WE is breaking my bank this year. Between the Boo's collabs, new in house designs, and all of the collabs with designers being distributed through massdrop, I might have more WE made knives than any other brand right now
