The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Boker has manufactured knives for many other knife companies over the years.
I recently learned that Remington had four high quality Damascus steel knives made in the 1980's. Apparently two were German made and two were Japanese made. I now have one of each, one a fixed blade and one a folder. Pictures not yet taken so will have to add photos later.
The German knife was a Manfred Sachse forged Damascus, which at the time may well mean the knife was made by Boker. It looks exactly like the Boker 1986 Annual Damascus with burnished antler scales and engraved bolsters. It is serialized and is one of 1,980 knives in this series. Any more information that anyone has about this or the other one of the same time period would be appreciated.
What I am more curious about is the Japanese made knives which I know nothing about their manufacture. The one I have is a fixed blade "fighter" as it is sharp on half the top edge. It is a San Mai Damascus, often made by Japanese craftsmen. It has brushed nickle/silver bolsters and is serialized and numbered. This series is limited to 1,000 and is purported to be designed by Gil Hibben. I would love to know more about this knife, so if anyone has information, I sure would appreciate it, as well as any information on the other Damascus knives made for Browning about that time period. Thanks

Anyone familiar with Boker producing knives with a camel trade mark on the blade? Perhaps for someone else as they did for Remington or Franklin Mint.
