I received this rather odd and unusual Boker Magnum Series linerlock awhile back but I'm just getting around to posting it now!
It's 8 3/4" open and displays a 440 SS dagger blade with dual-studs, NS hardware, and black G-10 covers. All screw construction.
This knife reminds me of the Viper "Key" model!

That is you, Marco! Nice! i can't believe it took you so long to post it. It's not like you were in the hospital with some massive respiratory problem or something....Oh wait, NEVERMIND....

NICE Mark! I like the look the thumb stud cut out gives the knife, and it appears that the liner lock is easily accessible with it also.
I hate it when I have to dig a nail in to unlock a knife. Good one Buddy!!

Not your usual pocket knife but one a little more specialized. An old horn handled horse fleam. Tang stamp is Borwick. Probably worked on people too.

You've got to love it when the maker only was in business in the 17 and 18 hundreds! What a cool find, DLegg1 Love it!

Ha, ha, ha!
Good one, buddy!
I thought the exact same thing as you did, this knife is "Me"!
Thanks for your comments, brother!

Thanks a bunch, Tony, you would like this knife!
Along with it's easy-on-the-eyes appearance, it opens/closes silky-smooth 1-handed via the stud, plus it's very easy to access the coined linerlock when you want to close it, also 1-handed.
According to their own rules, Customs should have seized this baby due to it's 1-handed abilities, but they must have been busy stealing someone else's knife when it went through their office so I got it!
It's a pretty sweet knife, and it didn't cost me any arms or legs!

Yes sir. circa 1791 to 1860. Father Roger Borwick until 1825 then Samuel Borwick until 1860. Sheffield England. according to my Blade guide, highly collectable.

Thanks for all the information. I am pretty sure this is probably from the son's time. I got it with a group of 3 other knives, none note worthy. Thanks again for the info.

That’s a cool looking Boker you got there, Mark!

Obviously a very special and unique knife, doglegg! Congrats on that find!

An old horn handled horse phlegm.

I've never heard of a "horse phlegm" before, Floyd. What would such a tool be used for?

Q it should read fleam or phlebotomes. It was used for blood letting. It was common practice to bleed horses or people to help cure their maladies. Our own George Washington was bled on his death bed to help him get well. Not very sanitary as the bone handle couldn't be sterilized. Of course when this one was made sterilization was not a medical practice. Hope that gives you more information than you wanted.

Q it should read fleam or phlebotomes.

Oh, a fleam I know what that is. I thought perhaps there was some other tool called a "phlegm" to scrape mucus out of a horse's nose/throat

I should have paid attention in spelling class.

That wood have been a waist of time, DLegg!

Nice pair!

Gotta admit, that's the first Wenoka I've seen that wasn't a dagger or diver's knife.

Me also Cody .. that is why I bid on it. The snap is great, but the travel is a little rough. Oiled it and will see how it improves.

Thanks a bunch, Tim, not only do I like how it looks, but it feels great in my hand, just like it belongs there!
It certainly is an odd knife for it to be a Boker, but it is!

Great knives, Tony, not my style but very nice all the same!

[CarMan]

I got this nice 1975 Case toe today; and should get this 1996 Bulldog sunfish with great stag scales first of the week. As they say life's good.


Paul

Very nice. I’m yet to figure out the difference between a Elephant Toe and a Sunfish. But, honestly I haven’t researched it yet. I am finding researching & learning is half the fun in this hobby.
