Boker USA Series
These three medium Stockmans are part of the Great American Story series. Produced between 76 and 78 to commemorate our Bicentennial.
Made in the U.S. of carbon steel, delrin, and badged with oversized shields. Commemorated here are One Nation, Lewis and Clark, and the Golden Spike [Transcontinental Railroad].

3 knice one QS. I have seen a couple I almost pulled the trigger on. Really quality knives and usually at a pretty good price. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Boker USA Series
Thank you dog. Other than as a collectible, they would make fine users for those who favor a medium Stockman. For using I prefer a larger knife of that pattern.

This is the “sweet land of liberty” / 13 colonies Model… first in the series from May 1974
not sure I’ll try and collected them all… but it’s tempting

Re: Boker USA Series
Those USA Bokers are overlooked and underappreciated in my opinion. Knives are well made with excellent blade steel. Yes, they were made as collectables back around the bicentennial, but they are also well made knives produced by an American knife maker who is no longer in business. I expect that the day will come that many of us will be saying "Why didn't I grab a bunch of those up while they were cheap and easy to come by?"

Re: Boker USA Series
I second that Phil. These are very nice quality knives and the construction is just as good as most newer knives being produced. Very overlooked.
Nice knives Garry

Re: Boker USA Series
I bought these four from Sanders knives.
They all came with the original boxes and warranty cards.
They make a nice display.

Seller refunded me after a couple of weeks and filed a lost mail claim with USPS. USPS closed the claim because they couldn’t find it. But lo and behold… it came today, I’m sending payment to seller since I was refunded… but now have the knife.
Nice knife… first in the series if 24
I now have five
Re: Boker USA Series
Beavertail, you're going to need a bigger display. I have admired that set as well.

It really cleaned up nice, too. I used some Case paste and polished it and it looks close to new!doglegg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 10:34 pmThe frustration just sweetened the knife Jim.MadeinUSA wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:54 pmHa ha ha ha… ordered on the 14th of Mar. and arrived on the 22nd of April!MadeinUSA wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 12:52 am I bought my fourth knife (from the series) tonight… should be here in a few days
