Unique about the 9050 is that it can be ordered made to your specifications, granted you get a minimum of 20 pieces.

Complete features

The class black 9050′s blade measures 3.75 inches. It is 0.125 inches thick and is made from 154CM stainless steel. The hardness rating of the blade falls between 58 to 60. It has an automatic-open (with safety) lock mechanism. The knife weighs 4.85 ounces, and measures 8.46 inches overall when opened, and 4.71 inches closed. The free sheath is made from Cordura nylon.

The 9050 has four configurations—9050 standard, 9050S, 9050BK, and the special 9050SBK which has a combination edge, and BK1-coated blade, black 6061-T6 scaled aluminum handles.

Shown in the photo below is the 9050 (standard).

The Nimravus’ blade is 4.5 inches long and is 0.115 inches thick. Of the available configurations for the Nimravus, blade material can be anything from 154CM stainless steel, D2 Tool Steel, or Trainer Steel, with a hardness rating of 58-60HRC for the 154CM, and 59-61HRC for the D2 Tool Steel. The style of the blade is considered as a modified tanto. The knife weighs a mere 6.2 ounces. A fixed soft sheath is included, and it is molle compatible.

The Nimravus is available in five unique configurations. The 140BK is the plain-edge model 154CM blade which is BK1 coated, and comes with a black handle. The 140SBK has a combination edge that is also BK1 coated and also has a black handle. The 140SBKSN is almost the same as the 140SBK, but it comes with a coyote-colored handle with scales. The 140T uses a Trainer blade that has holes, and comes with a red handle. Finally, the 140SBK-ADC is again similar to the 140SBK but with an ADC handle.

Retail prices are $175 for the 140BK and 140SBK, $190 for the 140SBKSN and 140SBK-ADC, and $130 for the 140T.

An optional, and very beautiful, hard sheath that is made of molded kydex and has a thumb lock is available. Model 981914F and sells for $40 retail.

Shown in the photo below is the 140BK (the one on top) and the included soft sheath.

Like standard Leatherman nomenclature, the C304 has a straight edge blade, and the C305 has a combination straight/serrated edge blade.

Now for the Swiss knife-like functions (tools): a 1/4″ screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and that bottle opener/carabiner clip—also seen in the E301. We know it’s not much, so the question left is: How are the screwdrivers? Typical, we could say. Have you tried “screwing” with a Swiss knife? It’s hard because you’re holding a non-round handle. But, sturdiness and strength in mind, the C305 can compete with the best of them.

The C304/C305 sells for about $40, so its really like buying $10 worth of screwdrivers—considering the E301 as a base price.

The E300 is a straight edge, while the E301 (tackled in this review) is straight/serrated.

The E301 sells for about $30. Although, it is considered a “retired” knife, it is still widely available from sellers nationwide. The blade easily opens with a flick of a thumb. It easily hooks on your belt, and is made of tough stainless steel. The E301 looks very durable, no doubt about it, and is gorgeous as well—especially the handle. The unique selling point of this knife, however, is the foldaway bottle opener and carabiner clip. A feature you do not often see on pocket knives.

The clip looks very durable—it looks like it can carry the weight of an adult human being hanging from the handle, hooked to something sturdy on the clip. As a bottle opener, it takes a while getting used to—just because we were used to home-style flat bottle openers. Not really an issue though.

Below is the knife’s diagram with a summary of all its features.

The Boker Earl has a blade length of 3 inches, with its blade made of 37 layers of Damascus. It features a Boker standard liner lock and has an overall length of 7.5 inches. As with the Persian, the Earl is also part of the Magnum line. See photo below.

The knife has an exotic design, with a prominent shape typical of Persian knives. The blade has a liner lock, and the handle, made of aluminum, is easy to grip firmly.

The knife includes a pocket clip. Shipping weight is only one pound. It is quite affordable at only $19.99 retail.

The Boker Persian is actually part of Boker’s Magnum series.

Reviews

“Great knife with the excellent quality I’ve come to expect from Spyderco. The steel is VG-10 and it’s made in Japan. The jimping is top quality and will give you a great grip to keep your hand from slipping into the blade if you ever have to stab something. The pocket clip can be mounted on either the left or right side, and tip up or tip down carry, and because of the Spyderco logo on the handles the aggressive texturing won’t destroy your pants pocket. This knife can be completely taken apart. The pivot screw is torx 8 and the handle screws are torx 6. This knife is really light too, lighter than Id expect given it’s large size. Some people have complained about the Endura 4′s steel liners adding extra ounces, well I don’t even notice.. Iv made this my edc defensive blade and It’s so light I forget I have it. The ergonomics are a bit weird if you’re not used to Spyderco knives, but it won’t take you long to get used to it. The wave feature will make it difficult to use this as a kubotan but that’s a small sacrifice. It also came razor sharp out of the box and is a piece of cake to resharpen with my little pocket diamond stone, probably would be even easier with a full size stone, or a sharpmaker.”

“The only thing that bothered me a bit was the picture displayed here makes the handles look black. They’re actually a dark, almost navy blue color. After looking around a bit on the internet I don’t think they make the Endura 4 wave with black handles. Just something to keep in mind if it’s color matters to you, as long as it’s not orange blaze or neon pink or something like that it doesn’t bother me. You could probably buy a normal Endura 4 and put it’s black handles on the wave if you wanted to.”

The Sharpmaker is one of the best sharpening tools out there. “Triangle” actually stands for tri-angle (three angles). It costs only $52.22, which makes it a cheap must-have. People need to know how to properly use the Sharpmaker, so we thank the people behind these video demonstrations. Watch closely and understand what they say, so you would know how to properly use your Triangle Sharpmaker.

Overall, it measured 8 3/4 inches, with a blade length of 3 3/4 inches—edge part of which measured 3 1/4 inches. The SC95GP is very lightweight, weighing only 0.39 pounds.
