Anyone know anything about this knife? The blade is marked Boker but the stag handle seems odd - like someone combined the blade with the stag handle after? Your input, comments or info is welcome. Thx!

Re: Is this Boker Knife with Stag Handle original?
I would say yes. Two reasons.
1.) Look at the feral where the handle and knife are connected. The grime, grit and rust (?) look original and the discoloration of the stag at that point looks undisturbed.
2.) The knife looks to be one half of a carving set (there would have also been a matching fork) and it was/is quite common for those to have stag handles.

That's the real deal. Probably from the 1920s.

It looks good to me. It was not uncommon for those carving sets to come with stag handles. Here's one I have.
