Boker info and opinions

[dalea]

Hey Gentlemen,

All I know is that I like it. I am guessing it's 60's vintage by the word INOX on the stamping. No idea as to a model name or number.

Nicest knife I've seen all day
I would agree, 1960s vintage , per the recent KNIFE WORLD article.
I'd place it in the jack knife category. Made in Germany, judging by both the tang stamp and the shield.
What is the closed length of that knife?
I've got a coupla hundred Boker patterns in a database now - still growing - but most of them are post 1971 so this one probably isn't in it yet.

Hey Rangerbluedog,

the o/a length closed is 4 3/8" Just got it and had only seen one before a few years ago and regretted letting it get by.

Your knife is a model 620. Boker also made a single blade version of the same pattern which is a model 610.
Below are older examples of both patterns that have carbon steel blades rather than stainless.
