Boker knife question

My father carried this one for years and I received it after he passed away. I don't know anything about Bokers and was wanting to know just a bit more about this one.
TIA

If the master blade is the only blade marked (it appears that way), then the knife was made anytime after 1970.

Nice knife, for sure.

Thanks El Lobo,
Yes the master blade is the only one marked.
Dating sounds about right too, musta been early 70's. My father handed me this knife to cut more than a few "switches" to tan my butt with in those days.

I was hoping to know the pattern and such. I would never part with it but just wanted to know more about what I have here.

Well,

The blade configuration is similar (nail nick on master is different) to this Carpenter's Whittler...

But the frame is shaped more like a Seahorse, or the Bulldog Whittlers (but they have a Wharncliffe master).

So....some type of serpentine Whittler?

Nice knife Hammerhead. That is the Boker serpentine whittler pattern number 280 I believe. Great bone.
