I apologize if this has been discussed before. But it should make a good addition to the Boker Studies forum:

Sarasota Knife Club has an excellent article about Boker's "Great American Story" knives in 1974-78

note: edited to update link

Anyone have the complete set?

Nice start SC ::tu::
You can still find knives from this series at a good price.
The delrin handles and large shields turn some folks away, but these were all made in the USA, with excellent 1095 carbon steel blades!

I never heard of J.Wiss & Sons who made my Prairie Schooner.
Do they still own Boker and outsource from Solingen?
Oops, got my answer further down, sold to Cooper tool. ::tu::
My experience of Boker has been very good.
