SMALL COLLECTION

Post by Quick Steel »

I don't consider myself much of a Boker collector but from time to time I pick one up that appeals to me.

Very nice Garry, some interesting knives in that collection. I really like that Barlow and of course the red Congress.

Thank you guys. I'll tell you, my favorite is the camping knife which is really well done; the "mack daddy" of my camping knives.

My favorite is the stag Copperhead. Great stag. In real life, at least as I lived it, elementary school cub scouts can not afford stag on their scout knives so, despite its stag, your favorite looks like an odd duck to me. You have me beat in quantity of Bokers so maybe it's time to consider yourself a collector of them.

SWEET!
I, too, am drawn to the stockman in the center.
Very interesting handle. How's it feel in the hand?
Take care and God bless,

There's not a bad apple in that bunch. I think Bokers are underappreciated, and that they are excellent knives. ::tu::

Greatly appreciate all your comments and observations.

Modern Slip Joints, Just to clarify, I do not have a Scout Knife. My knife, or others similar to a Scout, are usually called camping or utility knives. A true Scout knife must be designated as such either on the blade or with the shield on the scale.

Steve, to answer your question I find the hand feel of the Stockman unremarkable for stag scales. Perfectly useable, adequately comfortable. Generally, I prefer smooth scales on a using knife tho I certainly admire the aesthetics of nice stag.
