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 February 17, 2018 at 14:13: Just in case I haven't mentioned it, I really like the Boker 85 razor jack pattern. Three of these have custom handles, one was made in Argentina, and the rest are original as made in Solingen.

Comment by Ricky Ray on February 6, 2018 at 18:35: I thought so too, Jan!

Comment by Jan Carter on February 6, 2018 at 18:18: That was a pretty good price!

Comment by Ricky Ray on February 6, 2018 at 17:57: Just saw this little nicker go across the online auction block. I let it get away, but it sold at a pretty good price. Not much over $100.

Comment by Ricky Ray on February 6, 2018 at 17:42: Welcome William,

I don't know anything about H. Frohsinn, but I have seen a couple of knives marked in such a fashion on eBay. They appear to be a quality knife, maybe from the 1930s?

Here's a pic of one.

Comment by William Timothy Kay on February 5, 2018 at 19:51: I have a question. Has anyone got information about a knifemaker ccalled H. Frohsinn of Solingen?

Comment by William Timothy Kay on February 5, 2018 at 19:48: I am new to pocketknife collecting, just recently got bitten by the bug. My Pa was a big Boker fan, and always carried a Boker congress in his pocket. His love for German knives came was when he served in Solingen during the final days of World War II and for a short time afterwards (Combat engineer,)

Comment by Mark Zalesky on January 28, 2018 at 16:46: I don't think many realize it, but nearly all the autos by established knife companies are Made in the USA. That's a great thing regardless of the reason, but the real reason behind it is that switchblades are still illegal in interstate commerce -- and importation counts. The big companies aren't willing to risk losing an entire shipment to customs and being in their doghouse -- so they source from US manufacturers. In this case the Kwaiken is being made by Pro-Tech, who makes a wonderful knife. This is going to be a big hit.
