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
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.
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?
Hello all, picked these up at the gun show this weekend any info would be appreciated. Has a pick of the factory on one of the blades, my buddy wants to know what model this is he wants to find one!
Brian, the pattern is a copperhead. I think it is Boker's pattern number 2626. The one in your pic is one of the anniversary models. But I can't remember for which year. Could be 1994, 1999, 2004, or 2009. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most....
I have that top Boker shown in the link, but I know mine is original because I got it from SMKW. Thanks for the link, Steve. This is how the chinese rip offs do it.
I have the complete collection of The Franklin Mint Wild Life series from 1989, there were actual 18 knifes offer. The last 6 were an addition offer after the fort 12 were done, with cases.
Won a ebay knife boker Alpine series Canoe hope to have it Thursday or Friday, threw a bid on it early and got it with that first bid!! Will post pics when I get it.
Hello Boker fans, I just obtained a brand new, never used Boker ceramic blade folder in its original box. Is this a desirable Boker or just a sort of gimmick knife? I have a ceramic paring knife that I use in my kitchen but I've never come across a folder like this. Anybody?
