Re: R Werner custom Boker

I would answer this but I already did. Yep. Sure did and I appreciate it. ::tu:: I posted this on another forum and it kinda died. I had hoped to get a little history on Werner but it seems to be a less than collectible item. It's aesthetically appealing and functional so It'll see some pocket time...

R Werner custom Boker

Hi all. I spent last week on vacation in Morehead City, NC. I stopped at a pawn shop outside Morehead (in Havelock) I found a Boker single spring Half Whittler in stainless. Upon inspection I found the following: http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg135/Rupestris/Boker2.jpg Stamped: R WERNER 2000 AD...

Re: Buying A New Knife For Christmas?

I think I'm going to give a Case Full Size Trapper a try (if Santa has me on the "nice" list). I think I'll go Stainless this time.

Todays flea market find, and Imperial Frontier 4622

I guess I've been pretty lucky lately. I picked up a Case at a yard sale and a KaBar Peanut (from our own PAKnives at the Thursday auction) recently. Both set me back $15. After finishing today's Honey-Do list I decided to run down to the local flea market just to browse. As proof of my intentions I...

Re: How many knives do you own?

I'm not sure what I'd do with the number of knives some of you have. I have somewhere around 50. That's fixed and folders. Modern and classics. The desire to buy them by the dozen is always there but the funds are usually low enough to keep me in check. ::tounge:: Maybe after the nest is empty I can...

Can't say I speak for anyone else but I can't seem to resist Imperial Frontier knives with the powder horn.

Nothing spectacular in the fit & finish department but they're some tough dependable knives.

Thanks guys. Those happen to be somewhat rare as they were promotional editions from Standox (a German paint company now owned by DuPont).

I used to collect diecast cars but have moved away from that hobby. My wife has her small Jeff Gordon collection but I've got rid of all my racing and less expensive stuff. Kept these four because they cost too much to give away to the neighbors kids or nephews (where most of the other stuff went) a...

Hi everyone. I haven't posted here in too long. I let my pocket knife lust fade but I'm back now. I went yard sailing this morning. Stopped at one that had a few tools and fishing gear so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask - "you wouldn't have any knives you'd like to sell, would ya?" The o...

Thanks Dale. I forgot to mention, its A2 tool steel. So far, no word on hardness. Made right here in Michigan.
