Yes. It cost me $15.00. My only knife find.

Found this stag handled Böker 7113 HH Congress (Solingen) sitting on a gunshop shelf yesterday - looked like it had been there awhile. OH

Someone brought a knife to a gun fight? I mean shop!

Nice snag!

I think I have a smooth red bone version of this somewhere. I'll have to go fishin for it

Very nice Colonel. I like those bolsters.

Did a little ramblin' today, under the pretense of hunting green glass , Miss Joy found a green Tiara cake stand and I found 3 knives! There was a guy with a box full of mostly junk, there I found the Gerber 650 and the much abused Craftsman (can't see any pins-Swinden?) and at another stop I found a Queen #45, the BIG CHIEF, full blade still good etch but with scratches . Felt good to be out, walking on my new knee!

Looks like you've been buying all the ones I've sold. Ran across the Gerber Gator 650 not too long ago and sold it. Had the Queen aluminum handle and sold it. I think I still have the Craftsman/Schrade somewhere and its's got a real unique shield like yours and it's engraved. Think yer right that they are swindens.

Old Hunter, I just happen to have the same knife. I've never carried it or sharpened it which is why the shield is still in the handle ......... so far.

Nice knife yours.

Too funny Joe - everytime I pull any Böker from my pocket I look to see if it still has a shield! OH

..are the shields on boker's pinned or glued????............ ..................

Jerry, I think it was the bolsters (and the blade configuration) that sold me on this one. OH

Carrmillus - I have it on good authority that Böker, after investing all their money in good Solingen steel and superb German craftsmanship, resorts to old bubblegum found under school desks to hold the shields in place - only cost cutting done on their best quality knives! OH

Ps sure ain't pinned!

I heard Boker got confused and started using paste wax on their shields.

..........amazing!!!!............... .....................

SWOOPED ON 2 GREG LIGHTFOOT designed CRKT units....
AND a SANRENMU 733 for me to mod in ma spare time........ sweet lil frame lock flipper,but that lame carabiner has got ta GO>>>>>>>>

Bug;ya otta pull it and put in ti spacers that M1 has looks but does she have auto-locks??not a fan, I have a M 16-10KZ smooooooth flipper but I hate the auto-locks

HET THANKS GARD!!!

NOT - AUTO LOCKS
BUT HAS THE = " LAWKS" sytstem.......

i had a knife just like what yer talkin about,same pattern i believe,son has it now...HATED IT CUZ THAT FEATURE!!!

this looks same!!!!,but you must manually do it!!....no more double lock automatically!!!
i like that it makes it more similar to a fixed blade in strength - for a liner lock
but the knob needs to be a lil lower, it interferes with the jimping just a tad in certain grips........ ...just my take on em.....i would rather not have them. but i see how ppl like them.




and the URBAN SHARK.....smoothest thumb stud opener i have had in a LONG TIME!!!
BEST THUMB STUD DESIGN TOO
i think CRKT has brought this (URBAN SHARK)blade shape and knife design (LONG DISCONTINUED PATTERN) in the newer APACHE ,CRKT has out now

Thanx bug I've moved to the CRKT Ripple she doesn't have the lawks just a liner lock Smoooth as silk and the steel is decent nice grip

scored this Kabar 1232 today....

Love the blood grove Scott...I scored sum Laguiole kitchen knives today they will replace the Opinels at the table.

Nice Laguiole kitchen knives Bob!
I like those. I have never seen any like those.

Thanx Dale,they'll made great steak knives the quality is so-so the set of three are Inox,the brass ends cleaned up well

Even is the quality is not top of the line, the uniqueness of them makes them really cool IMO!

Found this ZT 0200 at a local pawn shop!!!
