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

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

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

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.
