Nice find. ::tu:: That pattern is call a “wire jack”. Patented by George Schrade. Lots of info about them here, use the “search” function (click on Quick links on the left side of this page and scroll down to “Search”, then follow the instructions. Here’s one of many threads here about them viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63088&hilit=Wire+jack

::welcome:: to AAPK!

Boker USA actually bought the rights to produce the Wire Jack from George Schrade's sons. I believe you may some wire jacks from time to time with a Boker USA tang stamp. I don't have any in my collection, but I have seen them posted here on AAPK.
Perhaps someone will post one in this topic.

Here are some of my wire-jacks. I've also included some pictures of the various tang stamps. "Most" of the time, the wire-jacks that have the opener on the blade, come from Boy/Girl Scout utensil kits. I have never seen (in person or for sale) a wire-jack with a Boker tang stamp. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that I have yet to see or find one. I have seen a picture of one. But that's half the fun, the hunt.
Oh, and ::welcome:: to AAPK. :D ::handshake::

Thank you Dale. I saw that many times. I meant to say in my previous post (and have now added), that I never saw a wire-handle Boker in person or for sale. ::tu::

Cool knives. So simple. One question for you guys. Is that just a bottle opener or could it open cans too?

I've never tried to open a can with that particular style of opener. I really doubt that anyone could use it to open a can.
Maybe if you went around the whole can, punching tiny holes in the lid. But talk about time consuming........
