Thanks for looking.

Great work, DS. Nice knives too!desert.snake wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 7:40 pm The last one was made of copper, micarta and n690. It disappointed me, it is made well, I would say excellent, but the grease on it dries too quickly and after a couple of days metal shavings start flying out of it when you open it. Because of this, the spring even sank down a little. I ordered a Quick Release, I hope this will help. It is also very difficult to sharpen it correctly, the burr is very flexible and does not want to disappear. I am much happier with the older Slimline Trapper. It had a celluloid handle that imitated mother-of-pearl. Apparently it began to decompose and the acid ate away the blade. At some point the celluloid turned into dust and simultaneously began to secrete a lot of viscous liquid. I took it off and discovered that since the factory production the pin had broken one of the overlays (cracks in the brass). A small repair was made - overlays made of G10 were installed. Now it is strong again and I think it will serve my descendants too
Excellent!antiqueknifedude wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 12:56 am I thought I should add this one to the forum, my latest Boker

Has the small blade on that knife been modified?Louisville.Boy1947 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 6:00 pm Just added another Humpback Camp knife (model 7593 which actually is another model 182). She has to go back to Boker for a repair.
Yes, it was broken long before I got the knife. That is not the reason it is on it’s way to Boker. The can opener does not lock down under spring pressure. During the last 5 weeks three humpbacks have found me. This one was in the worst shape.philco wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 9:21 pmHas the small blade on that knife been modified?Louisville.Boy1947 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 6:00 pm Just added another Humpback Camp knife (model 7593 which actually is another model 182).

Very nice!Wow Snake, I have that same copper barlow and it is perfect. One of my faves. Really surprised at the differences in quality. I was into Boker Solingens when I first started collecting but not anymore.desert.snake wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 7:40 pm The last one was made of copper, micarta and n690.

Maybe I was just unlucky, if someone didn't remove the burr on the hole in the blade, it can wear out the copper pin very quicklyRedRaiderRick wrote: ↑Sat Dec 06, 2025 1:15 pmWow Snake, I have that same copper barlow and it is perfect.
