I can't stop playing around with this old 712 pattern lever lock from the 1980s. The rosewood handles look great, and nobody does a blade etch like Boker.…Continue

I thought so too, Jan!

That was a pretty good price!

Just saw this little nicker go across the online auction block. I let it get away, but it sold at a pretty good price. Not much over $100.

Welcome William,

I don't know anything about H. Frohsinn, but I have seen a couple of knives marked in such a fashion on eBay. They appear to be a quality knife, maybe from the 1930s?

Here's a pic of one.

I have a question. Has anyone got information about a knifemaker ccalled H. Frohsinn of Solingen?

Comment by William Timothy Kay on February 5, 2018 at 19:48

I am new to pocketknife collecting, just recently got bitten by the bug. My Pa was a big Boker fan, and always carried a Boker congress in his pocket. His love for German knives came was when he served  in Solingen during the final days of World War II and for a short time afterwards (Combat engineer,)

I don't think many realize it, but nearly all the autos by established knife companies are Made in the USA. That's a great thing regardless of the reason, but the real reason behind it is that switchblades are still illegal in interstate commerce -- and importation counts. The big companies aren't willing to risk losing an entire shipment to customs and being in their doghouse -- so they source from US manufacturers. In this case the Kwaiken is being made by Pro-Tech, who makes a wonderful knife. This is going to be a big hit.

Oh yeah, one more thing about the KWAIKEN AUTO:

"MADE IN USA"

In other news. I just picked up this Boker/George Schrade stainless steel fishing knife for my collection. Circa 1956-58. Strange, I seem to be migrating to the cheaper knives lately! But it is a neat piece of history. Now if I can only find that stamped steel "Boy's Knife"!
