Thanks so much for the info Rangerblue. that's the # on the 2nd knife down in the pic and I was guessing they were probably the same. It looks like steel liners and bolsters also. the bone is gorgeous on it. Thank you greedygulo

Middle row, second from bottom. I have that one but don't know anything about it. I saw it online and had to have it! Can you tell me a little about it? Btw, very nice collection!

That one is from the Appaloosa series of handles that Boker introduced circa 2008.
Here is an image from their 2010 catalog.

This is a beautiful bone jigging. I think it was one of the first that was done on Bokers new CNC machining center at the Solingen knife works.
Another cool thing is they used 1075 carbon steel for the blades. That was kind of going against the current of stainless and exotic steels.
It's a throwback!

Here's a picture of mine, alongside another CNC jigged bone they called "Grand Canyon Bone".

I'm surprised it's bone. It looks synthetic. Another plus for this purchase!
