Here is a special Boker "Double Tree" offering from 2006, a 3 5/8" (3 3/4' ?) stag Congress serial # 068 out of 300. Comes with a storage pouch & original paper work.Pattern 5464 & a "Classic" so not stainless steel. All for under $60. A good deal for me but a loss for the original owner. This is a very fine knife.

That is an incredible knife. Reminds me of the stag congress from the “Storytellers”. Nice.
Here is my latest. Bought it from Gary Kennedy at Kennedy Knives right here on AAPK.
It’s a Boker Solingen Grand Canyon Bone Copperhead. Saw this one scrolling across the top of the screen and just couldn’t get it out of my head.
Thanks Gary,
Mark

Congratulations on a great choice. I have the Copperhead in red bone and I love the practicality of the pattern.

Need to make a correction. The word "Classic" in a blade etch on German Bokers refers to pattern, not steel type.

Thought I would post this one on this thread first. This is one of those Bokers w/ parts made in China and assembled in Germany. I sent this to Muskrat Man and had him replace the white bone handles with Amboynia wood and stippling on the bolsters. I am quite pleased with it. Plus I don’t have a ton of money tied up in it. I have a second one in white smooth bone sitting next to it in the last photo so you can get a good idea of before and after. Can’t decide if I want to sell the white one or get it in line w/ Muskrat Man to do this one also.
I have others done by Muskrat Man that I will be posting, not Bokers.

Got this one yesterday from Roland, KJ. Beautiful Boker Lockback in buffalo horn handles. I’ve seen several of these posted on here and knew I would eventually have to have one. This is not just a great looking knife but it’s well made knife. Locks up tight and the locking mechanism releases it easily. Feels great in the hand.
