    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....

  • Brian Martin

    Thanks for the info.

  • Brian Martin

    Thanks Brian, its a USA Boker but I like it to.

  • Billy Oneale

    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.

  • Jay Barbieri

    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.

  • Ken Vigil

    I love Boker knives, the German made ones to be specific. The imports are ok, but quality is spotty.

    Anyone out there familiar with the model 015 fixed blade?
  • Al Rogers

    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?

    Al, I don't own a ceramic-bladed folder, but I've seen several folding & fixed ceramic knives.  Boker seems to have more ceramic knives than any other knife company that I've seen.  Ceramic knives seem to be most popular for kitchen use, since you need to be gentle with them (don't drop them, don't pry with them, don't baton them through wood, etc.).

    They're not a gimmick in that they should stay sharper longer than most other food prep knives, though they still get dull over time (I believe a diamond sharpener is necessary, though you could probably send it back to Boker's US address for sharpening).

    Boker has a photo in their catalogs of one of their ceramic knives cutting through a glass bottle.  That's pretty gimmicky, but pretty dang cool as far as gimmicks go (kinda like cutting through a penny with paramedics shears -- you'll never need to do it, but how awesome is that?).

    Ken, try getting in touch with Ricky Ray, turns out he put a post up with a photo here on iKC a few years back...

    Al, I own several ceramic blade Bokers in my collection from the 2" Gent's to the Delta titanium handled look alike of the 1994 Damascus Annual, to the interchangeable ceramic blade for the Optima.

    Boker has been making these blades for many of their different style knives over the years. They are very sharp, hold their edge better than steel and their only weakness, which is a big one, is that they are brittle. They can snap if used to pry. If only used to slice, they are wonderful blades.

    As a result, you do not see many of them around. I would not use it as my carry knife.

  • Jan Carter

    I think the ceramic might make a good Sunday go to Meeting type knife

  • Ricky Ray

    We are a quiet group lately.

    Almost to 100 members, and not much to say.

    I hope you all get that special Boker knife you've been looking for this Christmas.

    I think I may finally spring for a stag handled camp knife!

    Ricky, you're totally right -- iKC can get like that sometimes.  So 1st, I hope you'll buy yourself that camp knife for Christmas (that way, you can leave other knives on your list for someone else to buy for you)!  Next, I think it might be time to post a photo...

    Böker has once again teamed up with inventor Wilfried Gorski to produce a new for 2017 knife called theTucan.. Like the Gorski-designed Merlin before it, the Tucan has a surprise under the hood. It combines a manual and assisted opener in a single knife. But does the difference make a difference?
