Congress is in session

[basser5]

Very nice knives Bigdaddy, I think i would pop them scales off that Fight'n Rooster as they are starting to gas out. Maybe some pretty bone scales would extend its life nicely!

what about stag thats what ive been thinking about do you have any idea on how much it would cost to get it rehandeled in bone or stag i know that bone will be a littel cheaper thats why i would like to know the prices thanks for the complaments on my knives

[basser5]

I don't have any idea on the prices for replacement. You might contact Muskrat Man or one of the other knife mechanics here on AAPK. Here's a similar one in smooth white bone.......

[bigdaddys8ball]

I really like the jigging on those Bokers


Tim

thanks basser5 like them also im not sure but i think that these two are older cause the way boker is spelled buker with a symbol over the u and the brown jig bone handels set them off them are the only two i have spelled like that does anybody have any idea on when they were made thanks everybody

[rangerbluedog]

Boker sometimes uses older stamps on new knives.
The one with the Henry Boker shield was a SFO if I recall correctly. General consensus is it was made in the early 1980s for SMKW.

I'm kinda stumped on the other one. That shield was used in 2008 on knives with the apaloosa bone scales.
That's the only use of that shield I've ever seen. But those scales don't look like the apaloosa bone to me. I'll have to do some research on that one.
