In case anyone was holding off buying a Smatchet 2.1, I just noticed the prices climbed from $269 to $333. Not sure if that's a Boker wide thing, or if all imported knives are going up in price. I found it for the old price at Optics Planet so when it arrives I'll have one of each generation of Boker Smatchet. Still disappointed I missed out on the Al Mar Knives version years ago.
Anyway - if you've been waiting to get one, I'd recommend not waiting much longer. I'm really hoping it's not all cutlery from overseas, but the Smatchet is the only knife I pay regular attention to.
