When Henckels ceased producing their own traditional folders they turned over production to Boker with the stipulation that Boker was to use materials and quality control that were above the normal standards of Boker-labeled knives. So one might think of this knife as not only a Henckels but also as the highest quality Boker.

This knife does not disappoint. Nicely matched stag, stepped or waterfall bolsters, strong half-stops. I think it is a superlative Congress.

Here is another new arrival. This is of course a Whittler from a favorite brand, the German made Bulldog. The photos don't really bring out the rich creaminess of the ivory scales.

It's a Rough rider RRR015 "Hippo Toe", and if you can forget it's a RR coming from China and go out and get yourselves one, you will very likely be as pleased as I am with it! I'm positive I've found the perfect EDC in this little knife! 8)WIN_20221214_15_38_19_Pro.jpgWIN_20221214_15_37_55_Pro.jpg

I like this one a lot Mark. I will have to look into one of those. I’ve been kicking around getting an A.G. Russell elephant toe for a long time, but I think I like this one better. Plus it’s about half the price of the A.G. Russell and both are made in China.

Unless I am seriously mistaken Mark, you will love the RR RRR015 "Hippo Toe"! I can't find a thing wrong with this knife! Heavier than expected, but for me that's always a good thing, solid as the day is long, it only has the 1 s/f blade, and as you said, far less expensive than others. I believe Jamie still has 1 in his store, and he likes to strike deals so perhaps you'll check it out, although on this one I don't know how much wiggle room there is. I would stake our friendship on your liking this knife, so you'd better like it! lol!

I just picked up this pair. Figured I did such a good job Christmas shopping for everyone else, I would go ahead and cut myself in on the action, too!

Beautiful auto Coley! I've admired those S & M knives since I first saw them, congratulations!
