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

Artwork that works Apr 27, 2008
By J. Wegner
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.

sweet little knife Dec 21, 2009

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.

 Beautiful, but surprisingly not good for small hands. Jan 06, 2010
By Tankueray
First, I'm used to Scallions. I completely glazed over the size of this when I ordered it. It is the prettiest knife I've ever had and I love it; but I have very small hands, my index finger is about 2.25" long. So while the Scallions were always very easy to operate and pretty scary for a girl to whip out, this one is still taking some time to get used to. It's fine as a tool, but I couldn't access it quickly enough to defend myself like I could with my others. The thumb post is even more difficult for me to operate.
Pros: Since I wear low waisted jeans, my pockets aren't very deep at all. The Baby Boa fits perfectly in my pocket where the Scallions always stuck out and would get caught by my seatbelt and then subsequently lost. (Hence this purchase.)
Cons: I don't have strong enough hands and it's actually pretty small even for me.
I'll upload some pictures.
