Here are a couple of "new" ones I just received today.

First is an 8313 pattern whittler, made in Solingen circa 1986-1995.

Love those DEL-BONE handles.

Next one is a Boker USA pattern 102. I've never seen one. I'm guessing it is circa 1945-1960. Bone scales, and the backsprings are covered. There is no liner between the two blades. Unusual. Ever seen one like this?

Here are my latest, a couple of 182 patterns:

A 2009, 140th anniversary model with chestnut scales.

And a 2010, with "smoked oak" scales.

Nice ones Ricky. That black shield looks good with the chestnut handles.

Thanks guys, I was torn between the chestnut and stag. I figured there were only 1,869 of the chestnut made, and they are still making the stag, so I will have another opportunity for stag. I gotta get a used one so I won't feel bad about carrying it every day.

Here are a couple I picked up recently. Top knife is a Boker jackknife. I think it has seen some time at a "knife mechanic". The Frame looks like a 9660 pattern. I have seen this pattern in a 1916 catalog. I'm not sure the blades are original to this knife though. The fit at blade/spring looks a little funny. The BOKER tang stamp is circa 1930s and later. It's a carry knife so I don't mind anyway.

The bottom knife is a H.Dorwal - made by Boker (Solingen), and distributed by Boker (Remscheid) for the Canadian market. I bought it from a Canadian seller on ebay. Well traveled knife, eh? I love the blade etch, but can someone tell me what the heck that creature is???

Ricky,

  Nice knives! I THINK the creature on the blade is a seal.............seems like I have seen one like that somewhere before.

 

As for the blades on the other knife, the master blade looks original to me. I can't see enough of the secondary blade to tell. Great handles on both knives. I have always really liked ebony handled knives.

I only bought one knife at the BLADE SHOW in ATL.

This is a new Boker Plus TUF, designed by Boker USA'a own Terry Trahan.

I like the looks, balance, and feel. Razor sharp out of the - wait, I didn't get a box...

Razor sharp right out of the display case! :-)

The only time I've used it so far is to cut the packaging off a new pocketbook my wife bought...

Don't let my wife see that leg knife. She would go nuts over that one. I didn't know that Boker had made any leg knifes.
