Possibly Boker 2020? Any ideas?

[Chrisd703]

Hi All,

Found this very rough knife in my late grandfather's taxidermy shed. I've been restoring some of his knives, although this one may be a little too much for me to chew.

Anyway, only thing I can make out is "oke" "usa" and "2020", so naturally I thought Boker 2020, but no tree logo or anything.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes I believe it is. In your third picture I am able to read "Boker USA" on the tang. Not all Boker's have a shield and there is probably a small tree stamp somewhere underneath the patina and crud. Just comparing to older one's I've seen with that kind of bone I would say most likely a pre-1977 that was made at their Maplewood, NJ factory, before Cooper bought the company.
