A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Do you have any information on the first knife?

I have one like it and would like to know more about when it was produced.

Here's some info. on your knife. The H. Boker & Co. tang stamp was used over a long span of time. According to Mark Zalesky's Boker article in Knife World, it was used from 1869 - 1944 or 1891(Steel tariff enacted) - 1944 if Germany was stamped anywhere on the knife. I do not have my knife convenient or I would check & see if it has Germany stamped on it. The best I remember, it does not. With that said and in my opinion, your knife was made on the later end of that time frame; probably 1930's - 1940's. Attached are some tang stamps from Mark's Knife World article that you can use for reference. I hope this helps.
