Early Boker Knives

[Oledadsknives]

It has the tree stamp too. Do you ever look at the "Tang Stamp Charts" thread under "General Knife Q & A"? Scroll down the first page and you'll find Boker and lots of other stamps and dates. great resource. J.O'.

No I haven’t, thanks j.o.!!

Here are couple more H. Boker & Co. Solingen 1869-1944 whittlers.

That first one with the spey and sheepsfoot is plumb amazing. I’d have given my eye teeth for that one.

All the Bokers on this thread are fantastic! I’m showing the oldest I have. Appreciate anyone that can date it for me! Bokers Improved Cutlery.

I'm almost ashamed to post this one. Compared to the other knives shared here, this is a wreck.

Well, yeah, it is a wreck. I actually had it in my junker pile. I was going through there and saw it, so I thought I would take a closer look at it.

Tang stamp reads R&H Boker Cast Steel. I looked through Neal and Ricky's book, but they didn't offer that exact stamp. However, Neal did think it would place in the mid-1800's anyway.

I guess it'll earn a place in the pearl drawer...

Hello all. Thought I would add my only Boker to the thread. Found it locally. H.Boker & Co's Cutlery Germany. Single blade with a blade lock. Blade is etched King Cutter. Nice knife.

Beautiful knives, Checkered past and Dimitri!
I think this is a fairly old one. Stamp is H.BOKER & CO's over IMPROVED over CUTLERY. The Boker book by Neal Punchard and Ricky Ray say c.1880s - late 1930s. I believe this one is likely from the 1930s?

[Miller Bro's]

Very nice Dan, that's a hard pattern to find!

[danno50]

Thanks Dimitri.

Thanks, Dimitri. Until today, I hadn't looked at this thread in quite some time, that butter and molasses that you posted is a beauty.

[Miller Bro's]

This one is very similar to the nice one Roger R posted earlier, except it has two blades and a bone spud. H Boker & CO's Improved Cutlery.
