Re: Early Boker Knives
Thanks Joe. It was sold by a fellow AAPKer "thefarside" and he says bone. It looks staggy to me too.

TJ: Nice knife! I saw that one on ebay & you got a great deal. The tang stamp dates it to circa. 1919-1932. In my opinion the handles are worm groove bone. Congrats.

Re: Early Boker Knives
Thanks Gulo - I do have the knife in hand now and it is indeed bone, very nice bone. A bigger knife than I expected which is good and very hefty. It's got a worn tang where it rides on the spring from being slightly smaller than the spring, no snap opening but does snap shut. This does not bother me and was part of the description. Belonged to fellow AAPKer "thedarkside". Over-all, very nice knife.

Very nice knives Gulo. The stamp on mine is not "improved" which I guess dates it a little later than yours.

Here's one I don't think I've ever shown. It has the block letter BOKER stamp. Probably circa 1930s.
