That first one with the spey and sheepsfoot is plumb amazing. I’d have given my eye teeth for that one.

I'm almost ashamed to post this one. Compared to the other knives shared here, this is a wreck.

Well, yeah, it is a wreck. I actually had it in my junker pile. I was going through there and saw it, so I thought I would take a closer look at it.

Tang stamp reads R&H Boker Cast Steel. I looked through Neal and Ricky's book, but they didn't offer that exact stamp. However, Neal did think it would place in the mid-1800's anyway.

I guess it'll earn a place in the pearl drawer...

Hello all. Thought I would add my only Boker to the thread. Found it locally. H.Boker & Co's Cutlery Germany. Single blade with a blade lock. Blade is etched King Cutter. Nice knife.
