That first one with the spey and sheepsfoot is plumb amazing. I’d have given my eye teeth for that one.luckydog64 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 4:57 pm Here are couple more H. Boker & Co. Solingen 1869-1944 whittlers.

Re: Early Boker Knives
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...

Re: Early Boker Knives
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.
