Found these two this morning at a trade day, now to find some shields.....

Both Bokers,
- First one a little Alemania 1/2 Congress? or is it just a Pen knife? with good snap and good bone with one tight crack on the back scale.
- Other is a Rough Black Stockman with full blades and good snap, still need some cleaning. May try to find a shell casing to fit for this shield.
(SWEET - Update, a quick call to Boker and they have a 9mm round shield on the way to me, no bar shield in stock though...)

The stag has wonderful color/warmth to it which I assume comes from years of use.

Hi Robert, I have one just like it. Mine is marked Skandia Tools. I searched but found nothing about them until I posted a query at BritishBlades.com. I got this answer:

"I bought one of these several years ago direct from a Sheffield maker; they're made to a generic pattern in Sheffield with blank blades and then stamped for whoever orders them: for resale or corporate issue, so there's no 'Sheffield' stamp. Marketed I believe as an electrician's knife."

Here is a photo of mine. They are a nice solid, well made knife.

Thanks vikingdog,
A man could look high and LOW for info on a rare knife and then they could post a question on AAPK and SHAZAM!!!

Thanks...Gives me a starting point...I have a Sheffield sterling carving set and the bolsters resemble somewhat as I recall..(they are in storage)..

Again THANKS....

OH PS:
Great patina on your knife...

You're welcome, I think you'll like yours when it arrives. I wish I knew more about them, like the actual manufacturer and when they were made. Let me know what you think when you've looked yours over?

UPDATE, cleaned up and a VOOS added in. Boker Stockman does still have etch, it is just washed out by the light.

What a cool knife! Thanks for posting!

I picked up a solidly built linoleum knife with no marks. Gonna see about putting a good edge on it.

Just returned from a trip to Atlanta to watch our little grandsons play baseball in a fall league. Great time with daughter and her family, also did a little hunting for green glass and knives with my wife. Still amazed at the amount of high priced junk people sell. I found 7 knives that were willing to come back to the Florida panhandle with me and Ms Joy. An additional knife was my belated birthday gift from my grandsons, a nice used Frontier 41P4 Imperial.
Amongest all the junk knives (China) in an antique store, I found a new in the box, Old Timer, Schrade+USA 93OT, complete with paperwork and the blue foam in the box.
Picked up a 55OT Old Timer, and a 5OT Old Timer, both have USA Schrade+ blades, to go with the green glass

that Momma was hunting.
Found a 2 blade Boker USA, missing the Tree Brand shield. Haven't figured out what pattern it is but it will bite you like an alligator!
Then there are the 3 that belong in the $1 finds: a money clip, Winchester logo, no name, thought it might be a Zippo?, a Boker, stainless handle, missing the small blade, and a Taylor Cutlery, 2" long with half stop.

Knice scores Philip!!!

The ZIPPO money clip style knives have opening at oposite ends, and they have ZIPPO stamped on the tang.
