Thanks, fellas. I have been used to carrying a Buck 110 just loose in my pocket for years if I couldn’t carry in the sheath, so this Boker is no problem. It’s only 1/4” longer in blade and handle, twice as thin, and half the weight. :D

Thank you sir. Nice gnarly covers on that one, and I love the main blade shape. Your sig line - is that from 9 pound hammer? Sounds familiar. Like the TVZ version a lot. ::tu::

Here is my latest (on the way)....

I brightened the pictures best I could but it is hard to see the tang stamp.
It does say "IMPROVED CUTLERY" but that is all I can really read clearly.
Looks like top line might be "H BOKER..... something.... CO..... maybe"

Here is a few pics.....

Improved 2.jpg
Improved 4.jpg
Improved 5.jpg

It has one broken blade but I just had to have it.
The main blade is tipped but it should look pretty cool all cleaned up.

:D

Nice! Those really old Bokers are very difficult to find at a decent price.

I have a somewhat similar pattern, also in "not the best" shape. The main blade is so loose, it rattles when you shake the open knife.

I'm not sure of the age of this one.... maybe y'all can tell me (turn of the century maybe??)
I tried to look it up, but not sure what it even says.....LOL

I can't wait to see what is under all that black on the main blade and the covers.

Surely the covers are bone.

Great looking knives gentlemen! ::tu:: ::nod::

I have a few Böker Solingen Solingen knives but I think this is my first real Boker USA knife. ::tu:: ::super_happy:: Willy did some researching for me and he said it may be from 1961. ::hmm:: It still has great snap on both blades. ::tu:: The handles have a few cracks but they are not loose so I am adding it to my EDC rotation. ::tu:: :D

I have several Boker electricians. These knives get razor sharp so easily and are fun knives. I picked this up recently here on the AAPK store. An electician of a different color. Re handled in blue bone, Solingen and in really nice shape. Love it.

Got this new Boker today. I like it very much with the Curly Birch handle and the N690 Blade with a half-stop. Every seam is a perfect match. The blade is well centered with no rubbing against the liners. At 2 oz. it's perfect for any pocket. It came with a felt carrying pouch and I don't know why unless that is where you want to carry it with other items when you travel, excellent case.

I haven’t posted any new pickups in a while. Wanted to share my Boker I picked up late last year. I’ve been extremely happy with it.
Stay safe everyone,

Nice Boker. For a using knife smooth covers are my favorite such as your smooth bone.[I think that is bone.]

Thank you sir! It is smooth yellow bone. The main blade doesn’t have the etching Boker has been using as of late. All in all I find it’s an excellent stockman.
Stay safe everyone!

Nice! I am no expert, but I would guess someone put that shield on. The shields were notorious for coming off. Still, that’s a nice old Boker! ::tu:: :D

This somewhat unusual Boker stiletto was waiting in the mailbox today! I say unusual because besides the Magnum model in the last picture showing the comparison it is the only other stiletto by Boker I have seen. It's a Chuck Gedraitis designed 7 1/4" oal A/O linerlock stiletto/VG-10 bayonet blade with thumb-wheel, single blue anodized liner, black carbon fiber covers with titanium blue anodized decorative ball inlay, blue anodized screws, and titanium blue anodized non-removeable pocket-clip. Cool little stiletto! 8)
