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

Here's a well used model 494 with bone handles, 3 pins & a steel liner.

I'm doing a little research on Boker barlow knives for a blog post. I'm trying to identify ways to tell the age of the barlow knives.
The other Boker knives have tang stamps to help determine age. Not so much for the barlows. The older ones have only the pattern number stamped on the main blade. (i.e.: 492, 493, 494, 495)
Do you have pics of your old Boker barlow to share? If so, include a description of handle material, liner material, and number of pins in the handle.
Thanks,
-Blue

You mean this one?

Only seen it on the site as it's a limited edition and my knife store that carries Boker isn't big enough to get one in.

The maker is very well known and the collaborations between Boker and other maker/designers has always been excellent although they have made quite a few of the knives in China which turns some people off.

Boker is usually good about pointing out where a blade is made and there is no indication, that I can find, that this is Chi-Comm manufacture but could be way wrong.

Big knife, nice design, fairly priced, I'd buy it if I was into that kind of knife.

I have a vintage moose coming, Ron has agreed to help me find out more info on it when I get it. I'll post a picture when it gets here. It's nothing great but the only one I could find.
