Someone said to me not to long ago that we seemed to have a lot of interesting older knives.  I laughed because when we bought them, they were new LOL.

Donnie was in the safe looking for something else and came across this one, I could not resist an opportunity for a photo shoot

I've always liked that one. They are getting harder to find!

Miss Jan, we become "Vintage" knife collectors whether we like it or not...lol

I used to buy Bokers many years ago. The North Carolina Cutlery Club that I was VP and newsletter editor of  had several club knives made by Boker in smooth grey bone and color etched blades.  

Now I'm VERY happy to be back buying Bokers again! I've bought many new ones lately and I love them!!!! Stag, bone, rosewood....there great! I'll try to take some pictures and post them.....IF the weather cools off. I like to take the shots outside. Been too hot and hoomid!

Craig,

I sure would be interested in seeing any damascus you might have.

Hi Art! Don't have any damascus.......yet.

So do I Billy! LOL!  I get the best pictures  when I take them outside on the deck. If I go out now, either the heat's gonna get me, the hoomidity is gonna get me, or the skeeters are going to get me!!! I'll try to get some soon if the weather breaks. Don't know what I'll do about the skeeters....they hunt me in packs!

I got some fantastic Boker stags!

And....I just got one of the Canoes with the beer barrel handles!  German beer barrel wood handles and a German made knife.....it has my German genes singing ♫♫♫ Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me.....♫♫♫

Some 1970s Boker knives with bone scales.

I love those Smiling-Knife!!! I love the jigged German bone. 

Hey guys, anyone have any idea on production numbers on Boker's "limited production runs", or "off the wall" runs? Or, is there no way to know?

Okay......another question; On the new Bokers I've noticed that some the ones in carbon steel are stamped "H.BOKER & CO SOLINGEN" And the stainless are stamped "BOKER SOLINGEN STAINLESS". BUT, I have an 8288 penknife that's stamped "H.BOKER & CO SOLINGEN" with stainless blades.  Anyone have any info on use of new tang stamps?

Any one have any info on "limited run/OTW" knives that Boker is planning to come out with? New handles?

I feel the need for more washboard bone! 

My money tree ain't looking so hot:(

The new Olive Wood Bokers are out and about!

I like that single blade Copperhead, "Trapper", and penknife. I wish they were carbon steel. LOL!

That sounds great Steve!

But, as far as I'm concerned, I don't have a facebook account.

Wow, looks like an old oldie.

Now THAT would be eating in style! I wonder if they'd let me into Golden Corral with that? LOL!

Handle material: Rugged stag

Nice one Jan!! I was looking at those off and on for some time. Looks like it would be handy!

That is as cute as a junebug on a burlap string Jan!

I think I may have whittler fever .....

Nice ones Ricky!

Thjis just in from Boker.  Tony, the rep we met in TN told me he would find me some info on the Boker knife made from a meteorite. True to his work here is the info

I'm not even going to ask what the price is.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Boker Fans!

I just picked up this used green bone 7588 Boker stockman from the 1980s-1990s. Got it cheap because the shield was missing. But Terry at Boker USA hooked me up with a proper shield and now she looks great! Just in time for Christmas.

Both of those look great!

Some time ago, I had Terry send me several Boker shields...just in case. Sometimes I get one that has a shield that's a tad crooked. Being somewhat obsessive compulsive, I have to remove it and replace it straight! LOL!

LOL Craig, I have that same problem. Usually it's the Delrin handled knives from the Cooper era (1977-1984). I think they were experimenting with an automated way of installing the shields by heating them and "melting" them into the handle. Of course that is purely a guess on my part.

Yeah, sometimes automated is better, sometimes it's not! Nothing beats my obsessive compulsive ways. LOL!!

Greetings :  I just joined this group after having joined iKC about three wees ago and was informed that I might be able to post and find a knife to my liking.  I had a Boker HK -!2 .  This knife was a super favorite carry knife and it got stolen from my clothing while I was hospitalized.  It is the smooth edge tanto, ATS-34 steel with G-10 handle.  I cannot find another and really miss carrying the one I had.  I did find a nice Schrade lock back drop point that is sufficing but even though it is a Schrade and not a Imperial Schrade ( I prefer the Schrade) I really am willing to pay the price to get my tanto ats-34 replaced and would appreciate any assistance..................thanks,  john

A Boker Slimline Jack

Boker has the Slimline out in Olive wood too!

I remember when that came out! Nice knife Ivars! Very nice presentation they did with that.

Hey guys, any help on this one would be appreciated

Hog is the Damascus you were talking about

Nice set!!

Guys,

Just thought you might like to see this

http://www.iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/boker-503

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.

Now that's cool! I would say LOTS of historical value!

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?

That's neat Ricky! At first glance I thought it WAS an old Boker!

Thanks Craig.

Thanks Steve,

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