Ron,

Thanks for the close ups on the blade etch.  That is very cool!

Brad, That's interesting. Are you sure about the serial #? I thought (I've been wrong a LOT lately) that there were only 8K of them made. Like I noted parenthetically, I've been wrong a LOT lately. Indeed, though. It is a cool knife! I need to take some shots outdoors in natural light because using a flash makes the bolsters appear to be all scratched up. It doesn't look nearly as bad in natural light. Cheers!

Unbelievable, this the second Railroader I have seen today. A co-worker bought one with the box and papers for under a C-note this morning (serial# 8483).  It is an excellent knife.

I love those old Boker's. Heck, I love the new ones also.

Steve,

Here are some better shots of that etch, sans flash. As you can see the etch is perfect and deep into the blade.

Not bad for a vintage Boker.
