- About Me
- My grandfather carried a Boker for as long as I can remember, a 280 Whittler, so I always used them and became a devoted Boker user. Then in the 60's, I started collecting them. My favorite Boker is pictured in my profile, an old Model 85, Solingen carbon blades. The main blade is hollow ground which makes for the sharpest edge of any of my knives.
