My latest Boker

3 3/4 inches closed (excluding the eyelet for attachment to a chain). Equal-end multi-blade pattern. Large and small pen blades, scissors, manicure file blade, all on two springs, and small cork screw (on its own shorter spring). Knife blades have crescent nail pulls but no half stops, and (along with the manicure blade) are all tang-stamped H.BOKER & CO./SOLINGEN. on the mark side and the silhouetted tree on the pile side. The scissors and cork screw are not stamped. Flat rounded bolsters, elongated rectangular shield and pins are all nickel silver. Liners are brass. Covers are genuine horn from cattle or sheep (I do not know which). Other than insignificant micro-scratches from handling, this knife is mint, never having been sharpened or used. Blades have mirror finish, unsullied by any trace of patina or stains. All aspects of fit and finish are impeccable. It appears by the stamps to be a pre WWII knife, but this is not certain. It is remarkable for the pattern: the size, the flat bolsters and the covers are all quite unexpected and unusual.

My latest Boker is this 2020 folding hunter with belt sheath that I picked up over the weekend at a gunshow. It looks new unused and the sheath has not been on a belt. The Boker folding hunter has a distinctive profile unlike the American made folding hunters. A great addition to join the rest of my folding hunters.
