Thanks Dimitri, I really like the deep old stamps on blades from this time period.

Found this older H. Boker & Co's 3 blade Cattle Knife at a gun show in Oregon. 3 5/8" Closed, tight and snappy.....the quality on this one is quite impressive. The price was very low and it is probably the nicest vintage knife I looked at on my trip. Saw quite a few knives, mostly junk and worn out or way overpriced......but had a good time looking.

Speaking about ebony, this one has it all. Ebony handles with a round shield that Cattaraugus used to designate that the knife had a punch blade. Then the spey blade is stamped FOR CUTTING FLESH ONLY. Then the 32206G tang stamp on the back of the spear blade. Not real pretty but still one of my favorites.

GREAT looking old H. Boker cattle knife! First one of those I've actually seen with ebony handles. Congrats.
