Seeking info on Boker Tree knife

[Ziradog]

In cleaning out my parents home I came across several "vintage" pocket knives that I would like information on. One is this two blade Boker Tree Barlow knife in pretty rough shape. I suspect 1960's or 70's vintage maybe based on what was with it. Mainly just curious about the age and history of it. I will attempt to attach pictures. Is this the correct forum or should I use one of the others? Thanks.

That Boker is the nicest of the knives that you have posted so far. It appears to have bone handles and steel bolsters, so it might date back to the 50's or 60's. I do not have any Boker catalogs to verify, so that is just a guess.
Some 000 steel wool and WD-40 would clean the blades without damaging them. It will not make them shiny, but it will remove any old rust. A #2 pencil helps with that, too (the lead, not the eraser).
The knife definitely carries marks of use, but that is part of the appeal - it was cared for and used, not put on a shelf and admired. Each mark is part of the knife's character. There were thousands of these that were identical when produced, but now there is not another in the world exactly like this one.

Thank you for your reply (and your replies on the other 3 knives). I really like this knife too. It did not seem to want to sharpen up very well though. This may become my every day carry knife. Like the other 3, we THINK that these came from the toolbox that belonged to the husband of one of my mother's friends. My father & brother helped clean out his stuff after the man passed & brought home some tools (including an oscilloscope) and some boxes of hand tools. We never saw my father carry any of them that we can recall (he carried an old Imperial for many years, then a Sears branded stockman pattern).

Best thing is to show clear close up pictures of any markings on the knife, pictures of the entire knife open and closed, and state the overall length closed. That will give the people here knowledgeable about your knife the best chance to help out.
