Boker knife display
Re: Boker knife display
Yehuda, there are 3 United Bokers on ebay currently a 2 blade congress that is bright red and another that is a bright green I believe. Also there is a whittler that's brown . I think you might want check them out. I dont know if they will fit. But I dont think too many bidders as of yet. Old sporty has one or two of them. Oh yea I think they're NOS. I hope this might help.

I only actively collect pre 1930's Bökers. This display is an exception. I appreciate you looking though!! The last knife and the velvet blue flocking material will be here Friday and by Monday it should be dry for pictures. You guys are gonna be soooo jelly!!

Re: Boker knife display
Here it is. After the first flocking application and putting it back together, I can see lots of areas that will need attention but it still looks really nice. This is about the best pic I could get. Reflective plexiglass is a pain to photograph!

I like it. How did you put the red lettering on the blue velvet?

Re: Boker knife display
There's a new Buc-ees in my neck of the woods. Went for the first time tonight and saw this. I'm very disappointed that it was almost 100% Magnum and Plus, but there is this one that was hard to pass on.

Re: Boker knife display
Nice choice! I'm a big fan of that jigging pattern.
Re: Boker knife display
It's the only one in the display that isn't a Magnum or Plus.

The Solingen made Bokers are getting harder to come by.

Re: Boker knife display
A lot of people are ok with Chinese made knives I suppose. What ruffled my feathers was Boker putting "Germany" on the shield of a mostly Chinese made knife. Dirty pool.

Re: Boker knife display
I got to looking around the other day and found this cabinet someone gave me 30 years or so ago.
It came out of a local sporting goods store.

Re: Boker knife display
Nice find ! I love those old displays.
Are you going to try to fill it up with period appropriate knives ?
