German style folding bowies

Post by thegreedygulo »

Anybody got any of these? While they certainly are not a true "pocket knife", they do fold up and you just don't see many out there. I only have one and it's a big ol' knife (open it's 12 & 13/16" and closed it's 8 & 11/16") made by H. Boker & Co Solingen.

A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

I have a pigsticker but unfortunately it's a new Marbles with the "C" word on it.

You guys have some sweet ones for sure! ::nod::
