I can't stop playing around with this old 712 pattern lever lock from the 1980s. The rosewood handles look great, and nobody does a blade etch like Boker.…Continue

Comment by Ricky Ray on April 25, 2013 at 20:49: Thanks Steve,

I'm trying to buy this one right now. Something about an H. Boker & Co. with and acorn shield.....

Comment by Ricky Ray on April 22, 2013 at 19:52: Thanks Craig.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on April 19, 2013 at 0:22: That's neat Ricky! At first glance I thought it WAS an old Boker!

Comment by Ricky Ray on April 18, 2013 at 19:48: My latest: It started life as an ebonite handled 85 pattern made in 1982. I've always wanted one of the H. Bokers from the early 1900s with the acorn shield. I had a buddy replace the cracked ebonite handles with a rootbeer bone. Then he inlet an acorn shield that looks like it could have come that way factory-original.

Boker never made a knife exactly like this. It is a one-of-a-kind custom. But doesn't it look like something you'd have carried around in 1910 or so?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on April 1, 2013 at 0:45: Now that's cool! I would say LOTS of historical value!

Comment by Jan Carter on March 30, 2013 at 10:39: This catalog sold last year. Just thought you would all like to see it

This was the eBay description

This is the best knife and cutlery catalog I have ever had, and the last of the catalog collection from the Georgetown, Colorado knife dealer that I had in my old Mining Museum. Great 8 1/4 by 11 1/8 inch, hardbound copy of the 1906 classic Cutlery company of Hermann Boker. He sold his own brand as well as great cutlery products from Solengen and Remscheid, Germany as well as Sheffield, England. 66 pages of hand tools and shears, 96 pages of full size engravings of all his hundreds of models of knives along with Newton Bowie knives and John Wilson butcher knives. 83 pages of Razors and scissors. Great condition, some shelf wear at top and bottom of good tight binding, old reference label on cover as shown. Inside label from Boker asks user to not cut or mutilate this catalog for advertising illustrations. My 12 photos show only 1/20th of the catalog, many great surprises inside. Clean crisp pages and great historical value in this one.
