Something’s fishy about this knife – and it’s the name. The Dace is a new Boker Plus flipper from returning design collaborator Joe Mangiafico, hitting a sub-$100 price point and delivering a solid suite of everyday carry specs.
This is not the first time a knife has been named after a marine creature, but it’s probably the first time that the humble dace has been so honored. To be honest, it’s not the most visually inspiring of fish – more or less just your average-looking specimen, but evidently a fish that is a favorite of anglers, particularly in Europe where the dace is a native species. And, wouldn’t you know it, Mangiafico is himself an angler.
Joe is a great guy and a heck of a maker. I have a custom Brook Trout folder and I love it. He’s a former fishing guide as well, so I always enjoy talking to him.
