| What a beautiful little knife. The Baby Boa is just perfict for the front pocket. You dont know its there, but when you need a razersharp blade its there. Handleing the Baby Boa is very easy and safe. The Baby Boa is Made of high quality steel and aluminum in Oregon, USA |

| The Baby Boa looks like a designer's masterpiece, closed. It looks like a masterpiece open. The curve of the blade's edge is a thing of beauty. The tiny handle fits my first 3 fingers as if somebody took a casting of my hand and then patterned the handle to fit perfectly. Best of all? The "Baby" will fit in the watch pocket of your jeans. Totally unobtrusive yet always at the ready. Do I like this little knife? Nope. I love it. |
Simple, elegant design

I received this knife as a surprise Christmas present a few weeks ago, and am quite pleased with it.
The SpeedSafe mechanism operates smoothly, the design is "simple-but-none-simpler", and while clipped to my front jeans pocket, I frequently forget it's there.
Kudos, Ken Onion and Kershaw! |
sweet little knife

I own several Kershaw knives, with my favorites being the Kershaw Ken Onion Red Blur Folding Knife with Speed Safe and the Kershaw Ken Onion Black Blur Folding Knife with Speed Safe Those knives are working knives, with large, strong blades, but the same famous Kershaw sharpness with easy and fast operation.
I bought the Baby Boa to carry in my front pocket and I certainly wasn't disappointed. It's almost a miniature Red Blur, just a slight difference in the blade design, so I'm very happy with the knife. For a small knife, it's the easiest to operate that I've ever used. It's so easy to operate, I bought one for my father, who is almost 80 years old. He has trouble opening most knives, certainly can't open them one handed, but was operating the Baby Boa one handed, like a pro, in very short order.
One thing I should mention, is that there is a slide safety that locks the blade. It's a small button on the body of the knife, close to the top of the pocket clip. It looks just like another screw in the body. When my father got his knife, it was locked. I wasn't aware of the lock, because mine wasn't locked when I got it and the instructions don't talk about a safety blade lock in this location. Operation of the safety lock is simple. It is a sliding lock. You push/slide it toward the bottom of the knife body to release it and toward the top of the knife body to lock it.
If you want a nice, small pocket knife, you can't go wrong with the Baby Boa. |
