All About Pocket Knives

H. Bokers.

Roger, that one with the acorn shield is my "holy grail" knife!
I just slobbered all over the monitor...

Thanks Ricky. It took me a long time to find that one. Now if I can just find one like it with horn handles, I'll be .

wow greedy you have the best collection of old bokers ive ever seen i bet it took you a long time to do it how many do you have everytime i look you have posted 6 or 8 nice ones do you have a place that i can go to to look at all your old bokers i really like the old gigging on the old bone handel knives and i like the stag they used back then

hootie

Here are a few more. I think I may have shown some of these in another thread...
top is a jacknife I estimate to be made ni the 1930s.
Middle is an H. Dorwal: Made in Solingenby Boker, distributed to Canada by the Remscheid Bokers.
Bottom is a Valley Forge knife made in the New Jersey Boker factory, sometime beween 1921-1950. Got this one from vikingdog. Next are a couple of old pearl gentlemen's knives: First one has the script Boker tang stamp which indicates a US made knife circa 1928-1930s. Second one has "Boker's Cutlery Germany" on both blades. German made (1891-1944).

Here is a Dorwal knife box...

Dimitri if you ever wanna part with that box, I know where there is a good knife that would fit real nicely within.....

Nice group of knives Ricky. I especially like the Valley Forge swellcenter. I've been looking forever & a day for an Improved Cutlery in that pattern. I'm not that particular in my search; I'm only looking for one each in bone, ebony, pearl & stag in NM-M condition.

bigdaddys8ball: Thank you. It has taken me quite a few years to find the knives I have. You can use the link below and see a bunch of my knives, though I don't have all of them photographed. I'm glad you liked them.

That folding bowie is awesome

Thanks MRB. Here's a few more pictures of it.

Thanks for the extra pictures of it

I have several of these type knives almost all of them German made.

This is the first Boker I have seen, I like it when they have a shield, and some brands put a shield on both sides of the handle!

I just picked up this Boker & Co Improved Cutlery Jack, this is my first Boker with an etch!!

I like that pattern knife

Nice find

NICE congress jack!! If you ever want to sell it, please keep me in mind.

Don't remember if I posted these or not, the only 2 I have

I first posted this one in vintage pearl knives, but thought it belonged here as well. It is either circa. 1848 - 1869 per Goins or 1860 - 1865 per Mark Zalesky's Boker article in Knife World. Either time frame pre-dates Boker putting tree stamps on their knives.

H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery. According to Boker's 1906 catalog, this is a Carpenter's Knife.

R & H Boker Caststeel. Circa. 1837 - 1860.
