Re: Boker knife display
There's a new Buc-ees in my neck of the woods. Went for the first time tonight and saw this. I'm very disappointed that it was almost 100% Magnum and Plus, but there is this one that was hard to pass on.

Re: Boker knife display
Nice choice! I'm a big fan of that jigging pattern.
Re: Boker knife display
It's the only one in the display that isn't a Magnum or Plus.

The Solingen made Bokers are getting harder to come by.

Re: Boker knife display
A lot of people are ok with Chinese made knives I suppose. What ruffled my feathers was Boker putting "Germany" on the shield of a mostly Chinese made knife. Dirty pool.

I got to looking around the other day and found this cabinet someone gave me 30 years or so ago.
It came out of a local sporting goods store.

Re: Boker knife display
Nice find ! I love those old displays.
Are you going to try to fill it up with period appropriate knives ?

Re: Boker knife display
I have not decided what to do with it. I have a few older USA stamped Bokers that would fit the time period.
That may be a good idea, tract down the knives that are on the paper tags. Should keep me busy for awhile.
I am not really in the best area for older knives so it may take awhile.
