Re: Whittlers
Old thread, but I finally snagged a Boker Whittler for my collection. I was drawn to the Washboard jigging on the bone - first time I have seen this style in person - it is really nice looking on the knife. The construction is split-spring without a spacer, very nice action on the knife - just the right amount of snap. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Older knives are like women, they are beautiful, pricey, and rarely do you find the good ones!

Here's a few old ones.

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).

Thanks Roger. I hope to make it over there, but it depends on my work schedule.

Re: Whittlers
Interesting. I just posted this photo on a discussion of pen blades and then decided to look up "Boker 280" to see if there was any commentary on my knife. Of all the photos on this thread, I see none with small blades similar to mine. I did not reshape these - they came to me (new) this way. I really like them both for my whittling. The main blade, well, it's pretty. I use it for anything other than whittling.
I'm sorta partial to Uncle Henrys seein' as how I had one and now I are one.
