ADDITIONAL INFO:      I know very little about Boker, aside from the fact that they made very good knives. However, I was able to find a chart published in Knife World Magazine November 2009. The chart showed the script stamp is being used from 1928 into the 1930s. It’s pretty amazing to think that this knife can be 80 or 90 years old. It has definitely been used but overall I would say well cared for. The snap on the small blade is good in both directions and the master blade snaps closed quite nicely but is a little lazy on the opening. A nice old knife!
