Looks pretty darned good for a 127-year-old survivor. Bet it could tell some stories.

That Valley Forge is a cool find. I have bought knives that are, basically, junk. And yet I still bought them.

I know in ott99 Boker took over, but I forget now (what I once knew) how the tangs stamps changed.
Anyhow, I like the brand and this is my small collection.
