Thanks for posting theseinterestingBokers, K7K. On the 2nd photo from the top, the bolster has crossed swords and an anchor. Do you have any information on that pattern?

Really like that bolster. It's the coat of arms for the city of Solingen, which is also seen on their flag. Solingen is known as the "city of blades".

I'm pretty sure I've seen similar can openers, but darned if I can remember where or what make of knife they were on. Quite a nice collection; I like those hunters (a pattern I'd like to get ahold of eventually)!

Those are all fine looking Bokers, T-Dog. And Henckles specified that Boker use higher standards of quality materials and quality control than previously provided by either Henckles or Boker. Soooo, extra fine knives.

I was not aware of that

I learned of the Boker-Henckles arrangement from Sharpnshinyknives, i.e. Mark.

Good looking Barlow T-Dog. I like the tree etched on the Bolster.
