Re: ANYONE KNOW THIS AGE ON THIS ONE?
I'm assuming that is delrin handle material. The closest I can get you right now is sometime between 1965-1983.
Boker started using delrin pretty heavily in the mid sixties, and Boker USA closed the doors in 1983.
The fact that the pattern number stamp doesn't have a tree gives a clue, but I'm still working on that evidence to tie it to a particular era.

I forgot to mention, you can see this knife on the cover of the Boker/ J. Wiss & Sons 1972/1973 catalog.
