Sweet knife Johnnie' I love the Green Bone. Your right about mine the edge is original and the blades still have the satin finish to them. I remember when I bought it I was going to throw it in my tackle box but I ran into an old Ulster and used it. All I did then was put the Case in my sock drawer until I bought my gun safe. That was to long ago to think about. I'm afraid to look in the mirror. I'll bet my factory edge is beat up a bit ::tired::

I think it's a splendid specimen. Did you clean it and polish it or did you find it that way. Sparkles and I like shiny. I'm going to guess 1960-1974??

There is a cool Jimmy Rogers Scout Knife (fix blade) by Robeson Shuredge on fleabay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... SS:US:1123

I am not bidding, not my knife, I have nothing to do with the knife or seller.
Just thought some of you Scout Collectors should know about it.

Should look nice in a scout collection!

No, I was talking about the Camillus wazu013 posted on the previous page. I missed that the "Camillus" is italicized so I'm way off anyway. ::facepalm::

Really nice knives. The second which you describe as green bone, I really would have guessed stag on that one.

Beautiful Bokers. An oft over-looked and under-appreciated brand in my opinion. I carried a Boker stag handled pen knife for many years. Wish I still had it.

That second knife does have genuine stag handles. I agree with TJ.

This is me ^^^^^^^^^^^^ green with envy! Those H. Bokers are AWESOME.

Just remembered I was in the SCOUT KNIVES thread - How appropriate...
I just got this little delrin camp knife back from Terry @ Boker USA today.
I bought this knife a few months ago to carry EDC at work. One day I was prying open an old electrical panel with the screwdriver tip. :shock: Yep, I broke it.
Sent it to Boker USA with a note, confessing my sins, detailing how I broke the screwdriver tip due to my abuse, but could you please repair it, I'll pay, whatever, blah blah blah...
Last week Terry - our very own TJT on this site - called me as I was going into a meeting.
They replaced the knife for me under warranty! ::groove::
Needless to say I was very grateful to Boker for being so generous.
Not only a new knife, but some Boker swag to go with it!
Service is above and beyond as usual.
