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?

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure what the ''fouled anchor '' is supposed to signify. The smooth bone hamdles are a deep red tone. The sleeveboard is real early & the chain looks original. The oddest thing is the shape of the can opener on the utility knife. Haven't seen another like it.

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)! ::tu::

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.
