ADDITIONAL INFO:
This is a nice knife that appears not to have been used, or if it was, it was very little. Good for a collection or a good user. I believe this was made when United Cutlery owned Boker or at least had the rights to use the Boker name. I remember seeing some United Boker knives in the 1980s when I managed a cutlery store. In my personal opinion they were not of the high quality standards of Boker Germany, or even Boker USA. If memory serves, the United Boker union was short lived. I guess in one sense that makes this knife a bit more rare than the regular Boker knives. It appears to be a good little knife. As a good friend of mine says, “It is what it is.” Perhaps there is some historical significance to it.
