I think you are probably making a good choice on the TBS Boar. I haven't handled one, but it looks like it ticks boxes for a woods knife, although I don't know what the spring will be like, for your finger safety requirement.
The following are not meant to change your mind, more for background info on alternatives.
I have:
Boker Tech1 - excellent EDC, take it to the office, around town, etc. Slim enough not to look "big" and threatening, also comfortable, easy to sharpen (12C27), good clip and good spring, not super stiff, but firm. Nice to carry in that the back corner of the blade spine is rounded and flows into the handle, no big sharp corner to wear your pocket away. Would I want it as a woods knife, not quite, mainly that it is a little slim and short in the handle. It is good though, and at sub-£30...excellent value.
Boker Slack - I reground this to be UK EDC legal. Great steel (VG10), very firm spring for closing, but with a notch system so it isn't a nail breaker to open. The major failing is that the handle is REALLY slim! So slim that you would quickly get fatigue if you tried to carve with it. The handle is also not very deep/tall, again, making it hard to grip. No clip, no nail nick, exposed blade corner.
Spyderco UKPK S110V - FRN handle, very light, very sharp, ground at a better wood cutting angle than the Bokers, one handed opening, discreet pocket clip, would be a good camping/hiking knife. Used to have the S30V/G10 version and like it, but found the razor edge didn't stay on that steel well. Using the finger choil pretty much eliminates the chance of it closing on your finger. Would I want this as a woods knife, again, not quite, mainly that the handle is too thin, although it has good depth and is pretty comfortable, up to carving pressure. Looks bigger, looks more "stabby" than the Bokers.
Spyderco PITS Blue - Titanium and N690Co. If you wanted a UK legal EDC for hunting, this would be fantastic. That was what it was designed for, and the shape of blade and handle really suit the slicing grips used for skinning. A lot less comfy for a full carving grip, and the blade shape is a bit deep. It is a big knife, despite the 3" blade length. VERY safe to use in a full grip, similar to a friction folder, hand pressure increases force needed to cause blade closure. Not lock-back strength, but firmer than most slip joints that are not nail breakers. Also, very easy to clean out with an open back and all metal frame. Is expensive.
Viper Dan2 - N690Co blade, best hand filling handle of any mentioned. Although it is a "friction folder" the detent system gives almost as much resistance as some slip joints. If you have your thumb on the tang, you will have to try really hard to get it to close on you, but the tang is short, so a full fist hammer grip doesn't do anything much to help keep the blade open. I only got this a few days ago, so have not had much chance to try it. Its another big knife, with a fair bit of heft.
Enzo PK70 - S30V, mine is a kit which I have yet to complete. I think they may have discontinued making the non-locking versions, which is a shame since they were/are very high quality, good spring/notch system, easy to open, and the handles were big enough to be comfortable for carving. Only downside was that they had a lot of corners, hard on pockets, and I am not such a fan of S30V.
Schrade Oldtimer Stockman - 1095 steel, takes an okay edge, doesn't hold for long. Nice enough "classic" pocket knife, but I want something better both for EDC and for woods.
Stuff I have handled:
Ben Orford The Nomad - O-1 and G10 friction folder. Thus far, this is the best UK legal EDC woods-knife I have handled. Very comfortable, good safe use in a full grip with a long enough blade tang. Very good design. For me, if it was in stainless steel, it would be perfect.
Hinderer XM Slippy - cool looking, good steel, not a strong spring, really uncomfortable handle. A great disappointment.
Queen Cutlery D2 Sodbuster - Queen are no more, but this was a good knife. Not super safe, and required a full edge regrind to get it cutting, but good steel and a useful shape.
Manly Wasp - S90V blade, and G10. Very thin edge, great slicer, not something I would want for heavy outdoor use. The one my friend had suffered a back spring failure, broke clean through. Main purpose is getting the premium steel into an inexpensive package.
Things that look interesting:
Lion Steel Best Man - M390 steel, titanium and micarta.
TBS Boar folder
All things considered, it seems that knives that are designed for EDC may be good for that, but generally fall down somewhat when transferred to woods-knives. Knives that are designed for use in the woods may be a bit bulkier than what most want for EDC. There is a big difference in using a knife to open the mail, cut string and slice lunch apples, and using it to carve spoons, feather sticks and make hearth board divots. The knives that I thought had the greatest potential for woods work were designed with that use in mind.
