That first one with the spey and sheepsfoot is plumb amazing. I’d have given my eye teeth for that one.

I love that old knife.

Thanks Colonel, those old stag knives are hard to beat, imho!

I'm almost ashamed to post this one. Compared to the other knives shared here, this is a wreck.

Well, yeah, it is a wreck. I actually had it in my junker pile. I was going through there and saw it, so I thought I would take a closer look at it.

Tang stamp reads R&H Boker Cast Steel. I looked through Neal and Ricky's book, but they didn't offer that exact stamp. However, Neal did think it would place in the mid-1800's anyway.

I guess it'll earn a place in the pearl drawer...

Hello all. Thought I would add my only Boker to the thread. Found it locally. H.Boker & Co's Cutlery Germany. Single blade with a blade lock. Blade is etched King Cutter. Nice knife.

That's a beauty! J.O'.

Beautiful knife!

Butter & Molasses handles.........

Well used but still a nice old knife

Beautiful knives, Checkered past and Dimitri!
I think this is a fairly old one. Stamp is H.BOKER & CO's over IMPROVED over CUTLERY. The Boker book by Neal Punchard and Ricky Ray say c.1880s - late 1930s. I believe this one is likely from the 1930s?

Very nice Dan, that's a hard pattern to find!

Thanks Dimitri.

Here is a recent pick up, H Boker & Co's Improved with waterfall scales......

Thanks, Dimitri. Until today, I hadn't looked at this thread in quite some time, that butter and molasses that you posted is a beauty.

Thank you, it's the best B&M handle knife in my collection

I like old Bokers too.Nice knives Dimitri and Ike.
A 4" red celluloid ( I guess), etched.All blades marked. This has been a favorite of mine.

This one is very similar to the nice one Roger R posted earlier, except it has two blades and a bone spud. H Boker & CO's Improved Cutlery.
