Re: Boker USA 9361 "Camper"

Most likely mid fifties or so. Nice knife.
Boker called those their "SCOUT" pattern.
The six blade humpback pattern 182 they call the "CAMP KNIFE" ::tu::

Check out Rangerbluedog's band.....

Check this out, my band is participating in an online "battle of the bands" to raise money for our local United Way. We are in the Final Four, and our video this time is pretty funny. Y'all check out our version of Sharp Dressed Man, by ZZ Top. Watch closely, you will see some funny stuff....

Re: Unusual Boker Equal end Senator Pen knife ID???

I think that is what Boker called their "Iridescent" pyralin (celluloid) handles in the 1920s.
Here are some catalog cuts from 1925 and 1928 with this handle material illustrated.

Re: Couple questions about a Schrade Uncle Henry knife

Schrade began using the Schrade+ tang stamp in the early 1980s, and went out of business in 2004 - so some time in that 30 year span is as close as I can get. As to why they're not so popular, I will venture a guess. A lot of people don't like the scale material. It doesn't really look natural. Pers...

Re: I MUST HAVE THESE! - Stuff from the 2021 Boker USA Catalog.

Yep, you usually find the retail prices about 50-60% of the MSRP listed in the catalog.
Still a little high, but knives coming from Germany pay a 25% tariff coming to the U.S.

Re: Newer numbering system

The latest I remember is the first two numbers indicate folding (11) versus fixed blade (12).
The next four numbers indicate the pattern number (5464 is a congress pattern), and the letters at the end indicate the handle material (JRB = jigged red bone). ::tu::
