BOKER TREE BRAND LIMITED EDITION GREAT AMERICAN STORY 200 MILLION AMERICANS

1978 Great American Story Knives collection #1793 "ONE NATION" in mint condition.

Comment by Roger Russell on May 10, 2012 at 9:25: Here's a well used model 494 with bone handles, 3 pins & a steel liner.

Comment by Ricky Ray on May 7, 2012 at 20:33: 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,

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on March 28, 2012 at 21:45: 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.
