All About Pocket Knives

Lovely Champagne pattern knife ! It might want to immigrate to Canada.
Here is an old H. Boker's/Improved/Cutlery 2 3/4" pen knife. It is rather worn but action is smooth, snaps crisp(with half stops) and no play which i think is very good for a knife that is about 140 years old. The 'tree' is but a sapling on this one.

Love that little Boker Ivory Mr. Roland, I got a neat Southington I fixing to post under the Southington thread. You would enjoy seeing it as its our kind of knives.
Kindest Regards,
Mark

Any love for the fixed blades? This is model 192. Believe it was manufactured 1975-78.

BEE YOU TEE FULL

Beautiful knives guys! I believe this to be 1930's, BOKER block stamp. There is etching still on the main blade so can anyone recommend a non abrasive cleaning method?

Picked up this baby coke bottle H Bokers Improved cutlery while on vacation in Daytona beach a couple weeks ago . Antique store find . Not sure on the age ?
Thanks for looking .

Very nice!!

Boker prices are through the roof right now. This is the first one I've been able to get in a while. Really happy with it.

That's a beauty!
You are right, Boker prices are a lot higher this year.

To bad I'm not selling!

Nice bone on that old Boker. Everything cost more these days seems like.

Here are a couple H. Boker whittlers.

Great Boker models shown on this page, and the last two whittler's from luckydog are very nice.

Beautiful whitlers Luckydog!

One finally came my way.

Another of the Boker family. Tang stamp reads "BOKER / USA and 6005 on the pile side. 1975 Boker catalog lists 6006 and 6007, but with smooth bone handles, I think 6005 is an older production. BOKER / USA was used in 1916 along with VALLEY FORGE stamping. Appreciate any comments.

I have only seen this stamp in charts, and it's said to be "1930s-1970s". However, this is the first I've seen with it. I guess prewar?

About the same size as the USN Utiility, and same blade selection, and also has a bail, but in a teardrop frame.

Here are couple more H. Boker & Co. Solingen 1869-1944 whittlers.

The stag one is a good looking knife

Thanks Edge I hope they are not too recent for this thread. thegreedygulo has some knives in here that deserve a second or third look.

Nice Bokers Dog.
He's the Boker king.

All the Bokers on this thread are fantastic! I’m showing the oldest I have. Appreciate anyone that can date it for me! Bokers Improved Cutlery.

According to the charts it's US1, 1899-1920. Nice knife. J.O'.

Thanks j.o. I knew it was old but that is older than what I thought. I’ve got a few more Bokers but probably 60’s/70’s.

It has the tree stamp too. Do you ever look at the "Tang Stamp Charts" thread under "General Knife Q & A"? Scroll down the first page and you'll find Boker and lots of other stamps and dates. great resource. J.O'.
