Boker Wharcom Review - plus Keycom (with Pics)

[David Lowry]

Hey folks,

Just got this Wharcom in the mail today. Ordered from Chad's eBay site. Thanks buddy! :) He also sent along this little Keycom. That thing is sweet. It's about the same size as a Victorinox Classic. The Wharcom is about Spyderco Dragonfly size. I freakin' love the thing. It's a super powerhouse of a cutter. I already cut my left finger with the Keycom. Both fo these knives are pocket razor blades. I'm surprised that I didn't get a Subcom or Wharcom or Subclaw earlier. These things are just awesome. I can see why everyone calls them biscuits. They are like a little biscuit when you have them closed in your hand.

Both of these knives lock up perfectly and I have probably opened and closed the Wharcom about 50 times. I just really like this knife so much. It's awesome how Chad designs things so nontraditional. Very similar to the Spyderco philosophy in that the knife may look funny but functions crazy good.

I love how when opened up and in the hand the fat part of the handle is right up in the meaty part of your palm. The knife fits hands like a glove. Very very awesome knife. Of course, this is probably 'old hat' to those of you who have had a Boker somethingCom or another but it's new to me and I like it.

Enjoy the pictures.

The Wharcom is my constant companion...my all around do everything knife....and David you probably just figured out why!!! Awesome Knife.....Ok now that you are Totally hooked on CLB designs....You just have to get my other favorites!!!....One just can't live without a Hyper, or Subcom FB. and let not forget about the Subclaw...OMG Every glove compartment need a Red Rescom.....then put on your list of goddies the M-Type and don't forget the MPT another awesome design....while you at it get a second job to pay for all of them cause Chad ain't finished yet!!!!.....So stop slacking and jump on the bandwagon already....A day without a Chad Los Banos design on your person is like ....well as Chad would say...."A Day in HELL!!!!!"....Enjoy David!....Doc:D

Nice picturefest, David. I love the WharCom and the KeyCom is on my list as well. And hey that Dragonfly looks pretty cool, too...!

I love my Wharcom, but I have 2 (both related) small gripes. I'd love a thumbstud like the Trance has, & the clip is difficult to use due to the thumbstud.

Regardless, for the money, my Wharcom is more than worth it.

I have a Subcom, Wharcom, and Subclaw... The Wharcom is the best IMHO...

That Keycom rocks, I need to look one of those up.

Congratulations on your new fine knives and thanks for the review and for sharing the great pics. Isn't that Keycom cute?
For my part, from all Chad's creations that came to life so far, my very favorite is the Direkt (although the drop point Trance comes closely). :)

I just got a Keycom myself and love it. The fact that its so small, but still has a clip makes it unique. I love the splinter picker tip it has. Like the the rest of the 'com series it has fantastic ergos as for such a little knife.
